[RFC,v2,4/4] i3c: add i3cdev module to expose i3c dev in /dev

Message ID 442a0c2c52223f9ff1a1d1018ff863fb23105389.1580299067.git.vitor.soares@synopsys.com (mailing list archive)

Commit Message

This patch adds user mode support to I3C SDR transfers.

The module is based on i2c-dev.c with the follow features:
  - expose on /dev the i3c devices dynamically based on if they have
    a device driver bound.
  - Dynamically allocate the char device Major number.

I changed the detach to be done in BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER.

As we have nferxs, there is no problem to allocate k_xfers more than 
needed, right?

A mutex during the transfer will solve the detach issue, I doing some 
tests but even with the change to BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER I'm not sure if 
it can race with driver probe function.

The i3c code is only locked during the i3c_for_each_dev().

I guess you already made sure there was no collision with other magic
values.

Any reason for starting at 30 instead of 0x0 or 0x1?

Also, this ioctl definition is a bit unusual. Most of the time, when we
want to pass an array of elements we pass a struct that contains the
number of entries in this array, and a pointer to the array itself.

struct i3cdev_priv_xfers {
	__u64 nxfers;
	__u64 xfers; /*Use u64_to_user_ptr() to get the __user pointer*/
};
