mainlining shenanigans
8cd9c39dce
The clk_rate_request structure is used internally as an argument for
the clk_core_determine_round_nolock() and clk_core_round_rate_nolock().
In both cases, the clk_core_init_rate_req() function is used to
initialize the clk_rate_request structure.
However, the expectation on who gets to call that function is
inconsistent between those two functions. Indeed,
clk_core_determine_round_nolock() will assume the structure is properly
initialized and will just use it.
On the other hand, clk_core_round_rate_nolock() will call
clk_core_init_rate_req() itself, expecting the caller to have filled
only a minimal set of parameters (rate, min_rate and max_rate).
If we ignore the calling convention inconsistency, this leads to a
second inconsistency for drivers:
* If they get called by the framework through
clk_core_round_rate_nolock(), the rate, min_rate and max_rate
fields will be filled by the caller, and the best_parent_rate and
best_parent_hw fields will get filled by clk_core_init_rate_req().
* If they get called by a driver through __clk_determine_rate (and
thus clk_core_round_rate_nolock), only best_parent_rate and
best_parent_hw are being explicitly set by the framework. Even
though we can reasonably expect rate to be set, only one of the 6
in-tree users explicitly set min_rate and max_rate.
* If they get called by the framework through
clk_core_determine_round_nolock(), then we have two callpaths.
Either it will be called by clk_core_round_rate_nolock() itself, or
it will be called by clk_calc_new_rates(), which will properly
initialize rate, min_rate, max_rate itself, and best_parent_rate
and best_parent_hw through clk_core_init_rate_req().
Even though the first and third case seems equivalent, they aren't when
the clock has CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT. Indeed, in such a case
clk_core_round_rate_nolock() will call itself on the current parent
clock with the same clk_rate_request structure.
The clk_core_init_rate_req() function will then be called on the parent
clock, with the child clk_rate_request pointer and will fill the
best_parent_rate and best_parent_hw fields with the parent context.
When the whole recursion stops and the call returns, the initial caller
will end up with a clk_rate_request structure with some information of
the child clock (rate, min_rate, max_rate) and some others of the last
clock up the tree whose child had CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT (best_parent_hw,
best_parent_rate).
In the most common case, best_parent_rate is going to be equal on all
the parent clocks so it's not a big deal. However, best_parent_hw is
going to point to a clock that never has been a valid parent for that
clock which is definitely confusing.
In order to fix the calling inconsistency, let's move the
clk_core_init_rate_req() calls to the callers, which will also help a
bit with the clk_core_round_rate_nolock() recursion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
