This would also require all function drivers to have event_ops populated. IOW this could break pci-epf-ntb.c. Thanks, Kishon

There are two binding here, one is EPF device getting bound to EPF driver and the other is EPF device bound to EPC device. We could have a case where we have an EPF device bound to EPC device (when added to epc->pci_epf list) but the EPF driver is not loaded (though not applicable with endpoint configfs). In that case the EPF driver would not be probed and event_ops would not be populated. > >> This would also require all function drivers to have event_ops populated. >> IOW this could break pci-epf-ntb.c. >> > > This I missed. I will add a check for the "epf->event_ops" existence first. sure, that would fix for the previous case as well. Thanks, Kishon

Instead of using the notifiers for passing the events from EPC to EPF, let's introduce a callback based mechanism where the EPF drivers can populate relevant callbacks for EPC events they want to subscribe. The use of notifiers in kernel is not recommended if there is a real link between the sender and receiver, like in this case. Also, the existing atomic notifier forces the notification functions to be in atomic context while the caller may be in non-atomic context. For instance, the two in-kernel users of the notifiers, pcie-qcom and pcie-tegra194, both are calling the notifier functions in non-atomic context (from threaded IRQ handlers). This creates a sleeping in atomic context issue with the existing EPF_TEST driver that calls the EPC APIs that may sleep. For all these reasons, let's get rid of the notifier chains and use the simple callback mechanism for signalling the events from EPC to EPF drivers. This preserves the context of the caller and avoids the latency of going through a separate interface for triggering the notifications. As a first step of the transition, the core_init() callback is introduced in this commit, that'll replace the existing CORE_INIT notifier used for signalling the init complete event from EPC. During the occurrence of the event, EPC will go over the list of EPF drivers attached to it and will call the core_init() callback if available.
