Commit Message

David Lechner Feb. 12, 2024, 11:26 p.m. UTC
This adds a new spi_optimize_message() function that can be used to
optimize SPI messages that are used more than once. Peripheral drivers
that use the same message multiple times can use this API to perform SPI
message validation and controller-specific optimizations once and then
reuse the message while avoiding the overhead of revalidating the
message on each spi_(a)sync() call.

Internally, the SPI core will also call this function for each message
if the peripheral driver did not explicitly call it. This is done to so
that controller drivers don't have to have multiple code paths for
optimized and non-optimized messages.

A hook is provided for controller drivers to perform controller-specific
optimizations.

Not really sure what are the spi core guarantees or what controllers should be
expecting but I'll still ask :). Do we need to care about locking in here?
Mainly on the controller callback? For spi device related data I guess it's up
to the peripheral driver not to do anything weird or to properly protect the spi
message?

Currently, it is expected that this operates only on the message
struct and doesn't poke any hardware so no locking is currently
required. And, yes, it is up to peripheral drivers that opt in to
pre-optimization to follow the rules of not touching the message while
it is in the optimized state. For peripheral drivers that don't call
spi_optimized_message(), nothing has really changed.

A few trivial things inline but looks good to me in general.

I thought about suggesting splitting this into an initial patch that just does
the bits without the controller callbacks. Maybe it would work better that way
with that introduced after the validate and splitting of transfers (so most
of patches 1 and 2) as a patch 3 prior to the stm32 additions?

Seems misbalanced that this doesn't take a pre_optimized flag in but
__spi_optimize does. I'd move handling that to outside the call in both cases.

I'm not sure a catch all like that makes sense. Not sufficient to call
the finer grained spi_maybe_unoptimize_message()  ?

Please delete unneeded context from mails when replying.  Doing this
makes it much easier to find your reply in the message, helping ensure
it won't be missed by people scrolling through the irrelevant quoted
material.

This looks basically fine.  Some small comments:

There's no need for kerneldoc for internal only functions and it can
make the generated documentation a bit confusing for users.  Just skip
the /** for /*.

It would probably be clearer to name the parameter pre_optimising rather
than pre_optimized, as it is the logic is a bit confusing.  Either that
or some comments.  A similar issue applies on the cleanup path.

Unless anyone else feels the same way, I'm inclined to avoid the extra
work of splitting it up.

Hmm... this is my bias from a previous fix showing through. Maybe this
comment doesn't belong in this patch. The short answer to your
question is "it's complicated".

Per Jonathan's suggestion, I plan to remove the parameter from this
function and handle this flag at the call site instead.

That works too.
