The root i2c adapter lock is then no longer held by the i2c mux during
accesses behind the i2c gate, and such accesses need to take that lock
just like any other ordinary i2c accesses do.
So, declare the i2c gate mux-locked, and zap the code that makes the
unlocked i2c accesses and just use ordinary regmap_write accesses.
This also happens to fix the deadlock described in
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/584776/ authored by
Adriana Reus <adriana.reus@intel.com> and submitted by
Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@intel.com>

iio: imu: inv_mpu6050: Fix deadlock between i2c adapter lock and mpu lock
This deadlock occurs if the accel/gyro and the sensor on the auxiliary
I2C (in my setup it's an ak8975) are working at the same time.
Scenario:
T1 T2
==== ====
inv_mpu6050_read_fifo aux sensor op (eg. ak8975_read_raw)
| |
mutex_lock(&indio_dev->mlock) i2c_transfer
| |
i2c transaction i2c adapter lock
| |
i2c adapter lock i2c_mux_master_xfer
|
inv_mpu6050_select_bypass
|
mutex_lock(&indio_dev->mlock)
When we operate on an mpu sensor the order of locking is mpu lock
followed by the i2c adapter lock. However, when we operate the auxiliary
sensor the order of locking is the other way around.
...
----------8<----------
The reason this patch fixes the deadlock is that T2 does not grab the
i2c adapter lock until the very end (and grabs the newfangled i2c mux
lock where it previously grabbed the i2c adapter lock).

Add a new 'feature' to i2c-i801 to enable using PCI interrupts.
When the feature is enabled, then an isr is installed for the device's
PCI IRQ.
An I2C/SMBus transaction is always terminated by one of the following
interrupt sources: FAILED, BUS_ERR, DEV_ERR, or on success: INTR.
When the isr fires for one of these cases, it sets the ->status variable
and wakes up the waitq. The waitq then saves off the status code, and
clears ->status (in preparation for some future transaction).
The SMBus controller generates an INTR irq at the end of each
transaction where INTREN was set in the HST_CNT register.
No locking is needed around accesses to priv->status since all writes to
it are serialized: it is only ever set once in the isr at the end of a
transaction, and cleared while no interrupts can occur. In addition, the
I2C adapter lock guarantees that entire I2C transactions for a single
adapter are always serialized.
For this patch, the INTREN bit is set only for SMBus block, byte and word
transactions, but not for I2C reads or writes. The use of the DS
(BYTE_DONE) interrupt with byte-by-byte I2C transactions is implemented in
a subsequent patch.
The interrupt feature has only been enabled for COUGARPOINT hardware.
In addition, it is disabled if SMBus is using the SMI# interrupt.

It is assumed that the core may access the private data after remove()

SMBus alert support. The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus
slave devices to share a single interrupt pin on the SMBus master,
while still allowing the master to know which slave triggered the
interrupt.
This is based on preliminary work by David Brownell. The key
difference between David's implementation and mine is that his was
part of i2c-core, while mine is split into a separate, standalone
module named i2c-smbus. The i2c-smbus module is meant to include
support for all SMBus extensions to the I2C protocol in the future.
The benefit of this approach is a zero cost for I2C bus segments which
do not need SMBus alert support. Where David's implementation
increased the size of struct i2c_adapter by 7% (40 bytes on i386),
mine doesn't touch it. Where David's implementation added over 150
lines of code to i2c-core (+10%), mine doesn't touch it. The only
change that touches all the users of the i2c subsystem is a new
callback in struct i2c_driver (common to both implementations.) I seem
to remember Trent was worried about the footprint of David'd
implementation, hopefully mine addresses the issue.

Add a mechanism to let new-style i2c drivers optionally autodetect
devices they would support on selected buses and ask i2c-core to
instantiate them. This is a replacement for legacy i2c drivers, much
cleaner.
Where drivers had to implement both a legacy i2c_driver and a
new-style i2c_driver so far, this mechanism makes it possible to get
rid of the legacy i2c_driver and implement both enumerated and
detected device support with just one (new-style) i2c_driver.
Here is a quick conversion guide for these drivers, step by step:
* Delete the legacy driver definition, registration and removal.
Delete the attach_adapter and detach_client methods of the legacy
driver.
* Change the prototype of the legacy detect function from
static int foo_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address, int kind);
to
static int foo_detect(struct i2c_client *client, int kind,
struct i2c_board_info *info);
* Set the new-style driver detect callback to this new function, and
set its address_data to &addr_data (addr_data is generally provided
by I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD.)
* Add the appropriate class to the new-style driver. This is
typically the class the legacy attach_adapter method was checking
for. Class checking is now mandatory (done by i2c-core.) See
<linux/i2c.h> for the list of available classes.
* Remove the i2c_client allocation and freeing from the detect
function. A pre-allocated client is now handed to you by i2c-core,
and is freed automatically.
* Make the detect function fill the type field of the i2c_board_info
structure it was passed as a parameter, and return 0, on success. If
the detection fails, return -ENODEV.

- Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and

The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by

Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.
I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.
There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.
