From 50b0075520a0acba9cabab5203bbce918b966d9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2006 17:42:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Multiprobe sanitizer There are numerous drivers that can use multithreaded probing but having some kind of global flag as the way to control this makes migration to threaded probing hard and since it enables it everywhere and is almost as likely to cause serious pain as holding a clog dance in a minefield. If we have a pci_driver multithread_probe flag to inherit you can turn it on for one driver at a time. From playing so far however I think we need a different model at the device layer which serializes until the called probe function says "ok you can start another one now". That would need some kind of flag and semaphore plus a helper function. Anyway in the absence of that this is a starting point to usefully play with this stuff Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/pci/pci-driver.c | 6 +++++- include/linux/pci.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c b/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c index 309629e03bae..b1c0c707d96c 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c +++ b/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c @@ -421,7 +421,11 @@ int __pci_register_driver(struct pci_driver *drv, struct module *owner) drv->driver.bus = &pci_bus_type; drv->driver.owner = owner; drv->driver.kobj.ktype = &pci_driver_kobj_type; - drv->driver.multithread_probe = pci_multithread_probe; + + if (pci_multithread_probe) + drv->driver.multithread_probe = pci_multithread_probe; + else + drv->driver.multithread_probe = drv->multithread_probe; spin_lock_init(&drv->dynids.lock); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&drv->dynids.list); diff --git a/include/linux/pci.h b/include/linux/pci.h index c9bb7bee52c7..549d8410974b 100644 --- a/include/linux/pci.h +++ b/include/linux/pci.h @@ -356,6 +356,8 @@ struct pci_driver { struct pci_error_handlers *err_handler; struct device_driver driver; struct pci_dynids dynids; + + int multithread_probe; }; #define to_pci_driver(drv) container_of(drv,struct pci_driver, driver) -- 2.39.5
