This sync_state driver/bus callback is called once all the consumers of a supplier have probed successfully. This allows the supplier device's driver/bus to sync the supplier device's state to the software state with the guarantee that all the consumers are actively managing the resources provided by the supplier device. To maintain backwards compatibility and ease transition from existing frameworks and resource cleanup schemes, late_initcall_sync is the earliest when the sync_state callback might be called. There is no upper bound on the time by which the sync_state callback has to be called. This is because if a consumer device never probes, the supplier has to maintain its resources in the state left by the bootloader. For example, if the bootloader leaves the display backlight at a fixed voltage and the backlight driver is never probed, you don't want the backlight to ever be turned off after boot up. Also, when multiple devices are added after kernel init, some suppliers could be added before their consumer devices get added. In these instances, the supplier devices could get their sync_state callback called right after they probe because the consumers devices haven't had a chance to create device links to the suppliers. To handle this correctly, this change also provides APIs to pause/resume sync state callbacks so that when multiple devices are added, their sync_state callback evaluation can be postponed to happen after all of them are added. kbuild test robot reported missing documentation for device.state_synced Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190731221721.187713-5-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |
