Subject: [PATCH] driver core: fix possible missing of device probe
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2012 08:52:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348793563-19186-1-git-send-email-ming.lei@canonical.com> (raw)
Inside bus_add_driver(), one device might be added into
the bus or probed which is triggered by deferred probe
just after completing of driver_attach() and before
'klist_add_tail(&priv->knode_bus, &bus->p->klist_drivers)',
so the device won't be probed by this driver.
This patch moves the below line
'klist_add_tail(&priv->knode_bus, &bus->p->klist_drivers)'
before driver_attach() inside bus_add_driver().
So fixes the problem since the below way can guarantee that
no probe(dev) may be lost.
CPU0 CPU1
driver_register
...
write(bus->driver_list)
smp_mb()
read(bus->device_list)
...
device_add
/* bus_add_device */
write(bus->device_list)
smp_mb()
/* bus_probe_device*/
read(bus->driver_list)
And the smp_mb() has been implicit by UNLOCK+LOCK
of 'klist' according to 'VARIETIES OF MEMORY BARRIER' part
of Documentation/memory-barriers.txt.
