Hello, On Wed, Jul 26, 2023 at 09:59:38AM +0200, Uwe Kleine-König wrote: > - dev_err(jrdev, "Device is busy\n"); > + dev_warn(jrdev, "Device is busy, fasten your seat belts, a crash is ahead.\n"); I intended to make this higher-priority than dev_err. So this should be a dev_alert instead of dev_warn. I'll wait a bit before resending to allow feedback. If you intend to apply it before, please fix-up accordingly. Best regards Uwe

Can you improve the error message or keep it same. What do you imagine here? "Device is busy" lacks urgency in my eyes and is hard to rate by a log reader. Mentioning that something bad is about to happen would be good. Do you want it expressed in a more serious way? Something like: Device is busy; consumers might start to crash ? Best regards Uwe

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. The driver adapted here suffers from this wrong assumption. Returning -EBUSY if there are still users results in resource leaks and probably a crash. Also further down passing the error code of caam_jr_shutdown() to the caller only results in another error message and has no further consequences compared to returning zero. Still convert the driver to return no value in the remove callback. This also allows to drop caam_jr_platform_shutdown() as the only function called by it now has the same prototype. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> --- Hello, note that the problems described above and in the extended comment isn't introduced by this patch. It's as old as 313ea293e9c4d1eabcaddd2c0800f083b03c2a2e at least. Also orthogonal to this patch I wonder about the use of a shutdown callback. What makes this driver special to require extra handling at shutdown time?
