Subject: [PATCH v9 3/3] i2c: {mux,atr}: Create missing devlink between mux/atr and adapter physical device
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 14:53:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104135324.492692-4-herve.codina@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104135324.492692-1-herve.codina@bootlin.com>

When removing an i2c controller device handling an i2c bus where an i2c
mux is connected to, the removal process hangs and is stuck in the
wait_completion() call done in i2c_del_adapter().

The i2c_del_adapter() tries to removed the i2c adapter related to the
i2c controller device and the wait_completion() is waiting for the i2c
adapter device release. This release is performed when the device is no
more used (i.e. refcount reaches zero).

When an i2c mux (and/or atr) is involved in an i2c path, the struct dev
topology is the following:

    +----------------+                +-------------------+
    | i2c controller |                |    i2c mux/atr    |
    |     device     |                |      device       |
    |       ^        |                |                   |
    |       |        |                |                   |
    |  dev's parent  |                |                   |
    |       |        |                |                   |
    |   i2c adapter  |                | i2c adapter chanX |
    |     device  <---- dev's parent ------  device       |
    |   (no driver)  |                |    (no driver)    |
    +----------------+                +-------------------+

When an i2c mux/atr device creates an i2c adapter for its downstream
channel, a reference is taken to its adapter dev's parent. This parent
is the i2c mux/atr upstream adapter device.

No relationship exists between the i2c mux/atr device itself and the i2c
controller device (physical device) in order to have the i2c mux/atr
device calling i2c_del_adapter() to remove its downstream adapters and so,
release references taken to the upstream adapter.

This consumer/supplier relationship is typically a devlink relationship.

Also, i2c muxes/atrs can be chained and so, the upstream adapter can be
supplied by either an i2c controller device or an other i2c mux/atr
device.

In order to get the physical device of the adapter a mux/atr is
connected to, rely on the newly introduced i2c_adapter_get_physdev() and
create the missing devlink between the i2c mux/atr device and the
physical device of the adapter the mux/atr is connected to.

With that done, the i2c mux/atr device is removed before the device
handling the upstream i2c adapter (i2c controller device or i2c mux/atr
device). All references are released and the i2c_del_adapter() call
performed by driver handling the upstream adapter device is not blocking
anymore.
