Hans Verkuil 50c3304a5e i2c: Keep client->driver and client->dev.driver in sync

David Brownell 86ec5ec872 i2c-remove-redundant-i2c_client-list.patch
This goes on top of the patch removing most i2c_adapter.clients usage,
updating i2c_attach_client:

 - Don't call device_register() while holding clist_lock.  This
   removes a self-deadlock when on the i2c_driver.probe() path,
   for drivers that need to attach new devices (e.g. dummies).

 - Remove a redundant address check.  The driver model core does
   this as a consequence of guaranteeing unique names.

 - Move the "device registered" diagnostic so that it never lies;
   previously, on error paths it would falsely report success.

David Brownell 9b766b814d i2c: Stop using the redundant client list
The i2c_adapter.clients list of i2c_client nodes duplicates driver
model state.  This patch starts removing that list, letting us remove
most existing users of those i2c-core lists.

 * The core I2C code now iterates over the driver model's list instead
   of the i2c-internal one in some places where it's safe:
      - Passing a command/ioctl to each client, a mechanims
        used almost exclusively by DVB adapters;
      - Device address checking, in both i2c-core and i2c-dev.

 * Provide i2c_verify_client() to use with driver model iterators.

 * Flag the relevant i2c_adapter and i2c_client fields as deprecated,
   to help prevent new users from appearing.

For the moment the list needs to stick around, since some issues show
up when deleting devices created by legacy I2C drivers.  (They don't
follow standard driver model rules.  Removing those devices can cause
self-deadlocks.)

 - An effectively unused hook:  i2c_algorithm.algo_control.

 - The i2c_control() call, used only by i2c-dev to call that

   (That param setting moves into i2c-dev.c ... still iffy

Jean Delvare 4b2643d7d9 i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype
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.

Jean Delvare 12b5053ac5 i2c: Add i2c_new_probed_device()
Add a new helper function to instantiate an i2c device. It is meant as a
replacement for i2c_new_device() when you don't know for sure at which
address your I2C/SMBus device lives. This happens frequently on TV
adapters for example, you know there is a tuner chip on the bus, but
depending on the exact board model and revision, it can live at different
addresses. So, the new i2c_new_probed_device() function will probe the bus
according to a list of addresses, and as soon as one of these addresses
responds, it will call i2c_new_device() on that one address.

This function will make it possible to port the old i2c drivers to the
new model quickly.

This adds a call, i2c_add_numbered_adapter(), registering an I2C adapter
with a specific bus number and then creating I2C device nodes for any

This completes the core support for "new style" I2C device drivers.
Those follow the standard driver model for binding devices to drivers
(using probe and remove methods) rather than a legacy model (where the
driver tries to autoconfigure each bus, and registers devices itself).

David Brownell 9c1600eda4 i2c: Add i2c_board_info and i2c_new_device()
This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding.  It builds
on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given
board.  This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed
and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the
way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used.

There are two models for declaring such devices:

 * LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device().  This lets modules
   declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available.
   
   For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility
   chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with
   those adapters.

 * EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function
   i2c_register_board_info().  This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such
   an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will
   be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter.

   For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices
   along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like
   PNPACPI devices.  (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.)

To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function
i2c_unregister_device() is now exported.

Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP.

David Brownell 7b4fbc50fa i2c: i2c stack can probe()
One of a series of I2C infrastructure updates to support enumeration using
the standard Linux driver model.

This patch updates probe() and associated hotplug/coldplug support, but
not remove().  Nothing yet _uses_ it to create I2C devices, so those
hotplug/coldplug mechanisms will be the only externally visible change.
This patch will be an overall NOP since the I2C stack doesn't yet create
clients/devices except as part of binding them to legacy drivers.

Some code is moved earlier in the source code, helping group more of the
per-device infrastructure in one place and simplifying handling per-device
attributes.

Terminology being adopted:  "legacy drivers" create devices (i2c_client)
themselves, while "new style" ones follow the driver model (the i2c_client
is handed to the probe routine).  It's an either/or thing; the two models
don't mix, and drivers that try mixing them won't even be registered.

include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this:

 - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had.  This
   was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node.
   Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away.

 - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any
   physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to
   fix this problem earlier.

This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better
citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

Jean Delvare 77ed74da26 [PATCH] i2c: Prevent deadlock on i2c client registration
Delay the call to adapter->client_register() until after we are
certain that the client registration is a success. At this point the
client is fully initialized and we no longer hold the adapter->clist
mutex, so this should prevent the deadlocks if the client_register()
callback needs to take that mutex too, as is the case for the bttv
driver.

This fixes bug #7234.

Jean Delvare 421ef47be2 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 2 of 3
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original
implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto
for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a
conceptual limitation.

The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little
code and is mostly untouched.

Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one
was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an
i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type),
while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working
on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union,
not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without
changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space
compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented
individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure
can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code.

Advantages of the new implementation:

* It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only
  counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory
  used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%).

* Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all
  transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is
  lower.

* All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode
  (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions
  which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free
  when they finally get implemented.

* Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers
  (patch follows).

Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one):

* PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped.
  It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design.
  I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly
  not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at
  least mention it.

Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect
compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually
break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be
changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new
implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be
many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway.

I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX has always been defined to the same value as
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX, and this will never change: setting it to a lower
value would make no sense, setting it to a higher value would break
i2c_smbus_data compatibility. There is no point in changing
i2c_smbus_data to support larger block transactions in SMBus mode, as
no SMBus hardware supports more than 32 byte blocks. Thus, for larger
transactions, direct I2C transfers are the way to go.

Jean Delvare 4c9337da37 [PATCH] I2C: Centralize 24RF08 corruption prevention
The 24RF08 corruption would better be prevented at i2c-core level than
at chip driver level, for several reasons:
* The second quick write should happen as soon as possible after the
  first one, so as to limit the risk that another command is issued on
  the bus inbetween, causing the corruption.
* As a matter of fact, the protection code at driver level was reworked
  at least three times already, which proves how hard it is to get it
  right there, while it's straightforward at i2c-core level.
* It's easy to add a new driver that would need the protection, and
  forget to add it. This did happen already.
* As additional probing addresses can be passed to most i2c chip drivers
  as module parameters, virtually every i2c chip driver would need the
  protection if we want to be really safe.
* Why duplicate code when we can easily avoid it?

Jean Delvare a89ba0bc02 [PATCH] I2C: Rewrite i2c_probe
i2c_probe was quite complex and slow, so I rewrote it in a more
efficient and hopefully clearer way.

Note that this slightly changes the way the module parameters are
handled. This shouldn't change anything for the most common cases
though.

For one thing, the function now respects the order of the parameters
for address probing. It used to always do lower addresses first. The
new approach gives the user more control.

For another, ignore addresses don't overrule probe addresses anymore.
This could have been restored the way it was at the cost of a few more
lines of code, but I don't think it's worth it. Both lists are given
as module parameters, so a user would be quite silly to specify the
same addresses in both lists. The normal addresses list is the only
one that isn't controlled by a module parameter, thus is the only one
the user may reasonably want to remove an address from.

Another significant change is the fact that i2c_probe() will no more
stop when a detection function returns -ENODEV. Just because a driver
found a chip it doesn't support isn't a valid reason to stop all
probings for this one driver. This closes the long standing lm_sensors
ticket #1807.

  http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1807

I updated the documentation accordingly.

In terms of algorithmic complexity, the new code is way better. If
I is the ignore address count, P the probe address count, N the
normal address count and F the force address count, the old code
was doing 128 * (F + I + P + N) iterations max, while the new code
does F + P + ((I+1) * N) iterations max. For the most common case
where F, I and P are empty, this is down from 128 * N to N.

Note that this change will slightly increase the size of the drivers

requirement if we want to merge i2c_probe and i2c_detect though, and
seems a reasonable price to pay in comparison with the previous
cleanups which saved much more than that (such as the i2c-isa cleanup

Jean Delvare 815f55f280 [PATCH] I2C: Remove redundancy from i2c-core.c
Call i2c_transfer() from i2c_master_send() and i2c_master_recv() to
avoid the redundant code that was in all three functions.  It also
removes unnecessary debug statements as suggested by Jean Delvare.

This is important for the non-blocking interfaces because they will
have to handle a non-blocking interface in this area.  Having it in
one place greatly simplifies the changes.

Jean Delvare b3d5496ea5 [PATCH] I2C: Kill address ranges in non-sensors i2c chip drivers
Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).

Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.

A documentation update is included.

The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.

This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
