[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda - Defer probe when loading patch firmware
Recent changes to the firmware loading helpers cause drivers to stall when firmware is loaded during the module_init() call. The snd-hda-intel module requests firmware if the patch= parameter is used to load a patch file. This patch works around the problem by deferring the probe in such cases, which will cause the module to load successfully and the driver binding to the device outside the module_init() call.

Is the "recent" change meant 3.6 kernel, or in linux-next?
In anyway, I don't understand why such a change was allowed. Most drivers do call request_firmware() at the device probing time. If this really has to be resolved in the driver side, it must be a bug in the firmware loader core code.

Yeah, but it doesn't justify this ugly module option. It's a simple bug. Papering over it with this option doesn't fix anything.

It's not an option, all it does is defer probing if and only if the patch parameter was specified to make sure the firmware load won't stall. I realize that this may not be an optimal solution, but at least it fixes the problem with no fallout.
A proper fix would require a larger rewrite because it would entail using the asynchronous firmware load operations. That in turn would require the initialization to be split into several stages.

Ah sorry, I misread the patch.
Then it shouldn't be checked at that point. Since 3.5 kernel, the probing code was already split for vga_switcheroo support. The point you added is the second stage.

Right... the deferred probe would mess up the matching done by the static dev variable. So maybe a proper implementation that uses asynchronous firmware loading is inevitable.

Yes, I saw that. But unless you actually use vga_switcheroo, the second stage, azx_probe_continue(), will still be called from azx_probe() and therefore ultimately from module_init().
Before coming up with this patch I actually did play around a bit with using the asynchronous firmware load functions but it turned out to be rather difficult to do so I opted for the easy way. The biggest problem I faced was that since patch loading needs to be done very early on, a lot of the initialization would need to be done after .probe() and many things could still fail, so cleaning up after errors would become increasingly difficult.
The point you added is the second stage.
I don't understand this sentence.

Yeah, but this could be easily delayed. The split was already done, so the next step would be to return after the first half at probe, then call the second half later.

async probe is also on my TODO list, but it's deferred ;)

I meant that your patch added the check at the second-half probing function (azx_probe_contine()). That is, it could be already the point triggered by vga_switcheroo handler, not via module_init any longer.
So, after rethinking what you suggested, I wrote a quick patch below. Could you check whether this works?

Obviously it won't work if the module is re-loaded manually. The -EPROBE_DEFER would work only at boot time, as it seems.

So, after rethinking what you suggested, I wrote a quick patch below. Could you check whether this works?
It oopses, though I can't quite tell where. I need to test some more later to see where it goes wrong.

Yeah, but it doesn't justify this ugly module option. It's a simple bug. Papering over it with this option doesn't fix anything.
It's not an option, all it does is defer probing if and only if the patch parameter was specified to make sure the firmware load won't stall. I realize that this may not be an optimal solution, but at least it fixes the problem with no fallout.
Ah sorry, I misread the patch.
Then it shouldn't be checked at that point. Since 3.5 kernel, the probing code was already split for vga_switcheroo support.
Yes, I saw that. But unless you actually use vga_switcheroo, the second stage, azx_probe_continue(), will still be called from azx_probe() and therefore ultimately from module_init().
Yeah, but this could be easily delayed. The split was already done, so the next step would be to return after the first half at probe, then call the second half later.
Before coming up with this patch I actually did play around a bit with using the asynchronous firmware load functions but it turned out to be rather difficult to do so I opted for the easy way. The biggest problem I faced was that since patch loading needs to be done very early on, a lot of the initialization would need to be done after .probe() and many things could still fail, so cleaning up after errors would become increasingly difficult.
async probe is also on my TODO list, but it's deferred ;)
The point you added is the second stage.

Yeah, I tested it here and noticed, too. As mentioned, the behavior of -EPROBE_DEFER is somehow flaky. For example, when it's used for modules, the deferred probe will be never triggered (unless a new device is bound).
Considering the problem again, it's currently an issue only for the built-in sound driver, right? AFAIK, request_firmware() works fine for modules. If so, a simple "fix" to avoid the unexpected behavior is to make CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER depending on CONFIG_SND_HDA=m. It'd be simple enough for merging 3.6 kernel.
I almost finished writing the patch to use request_firmware_nowait() version, but I'm afraid it's too intrusive for 3.6. If disabling the patch loader for the built-in driver is OK, I'd queue the request_firmware_nowait() patches to 3.7 queue.

Yes, the idea is that probing is only retried after other drivers have bound to other devices because otherwise nothing about any missing resources can have changed. This however would indicate that deferred probing is not the right solution here, after all we're not waiting for another resource to become available. Something like delayed work might be better suited.
Well, asynchronous firmware load is actually the right solution, delayed work just might be a better workaround. =)
For completeness I should say that I've been using deferred probing with modules quite successfully on another platform, so it is not a general problem. Rather as you said, it is only triggered if another module is loaded after the deferral.
Considering the problem again, it's currently an issue only for the built-in sound driver, right? AFAIK, request_firmware() works fine for modules.

I'm in no hurry, and the patch that I carry works for me. If there are no other reasons to pull a corresponding fix into 3.6 I can certainly wait for 3.7. The particular setup that I have requires other patches that may not go into 3.6 anyway.

Yes. But if you reload just snd-hda-intel module, it'll be stuck.

Hmm, for modules, request_firmware() seems working fine on my systems, no matter whether it succeeds or not. Could you double-check? If the user-helper isn't ready at module loading time, of course, it stalls, just like the kernel driver. But it should be available there.
I almost finished writing the patch to use request_firmware_nowait() version, but I'm afraid it's too intrusive for 3.6. If disabling the patch loader for the built-in driver is OK, I'd queue the request_firmware_nowait() patches to 3.7 queue.

Hi,
this is a series of patches to fix the firmware loading problem. I split the changes to two for making clean what the patches do.
Basically it moves request_firmware() to hda_intel.c, then replaces it with request_firmware_nowait(). Through a short testing, it seems working fine here on my machines.
Takashi
This is a preliminary work for the deferred probing for request_firmware() errors at init.
This patch moves the call of request_firmware() to hda_intel.c, and call it in the earlier stage of probing rather than azx_probe_continue().

For processing the firmware handling properly for built-in kernels, implement an asynchronous f/w loading with request_firmware_nowait(). This means that the codec probing is deferred when the patch option is specified.

chip->probe_deferred is used only at the line below. So basically it's not necessarily to be recorded in chip, but could be a local bool variable in azx_probe(). It remains in chip just because of my older patch had it.

Right, this patch has the race removed, as the variable is no longer set in azx_firmware_cb. To be picky, it's slightly confusing that probe_deferred is also used for signalling a disabled chip. Maybe "probe_now" (inverted) would have been even better, like this:

Thanks, now pushed to sound git tree for-next branch. As mentioned earlier, this is planned for 3.7 merge.
Also, the patches are found in topic/hda-probe-defer branch so that it can be easily pulled to 3.6 kernel cleanly.
