Subject: [PATCH v2 16/26] i2c: mux: Create missing devlink between mux and adapter physical device
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 is involved in an i2c path, the struct dev topology is
the following:
+----------------+ +-------------------+
| i2c controller | | i2c mux |
| device | | device |
| ^ | | |
| | | | |
| dev's parent | | |
| | | | |
| i2c adapter | | i2c adapter chanX |
| device <---- dev's parent ------ device |
| (no driver) | | (no driver) |
+----------------+ +-------------------+
When an i2c mux 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 upstream adapter device.
No relationship exists between the i2c mux device itself and the i2c
controller device (physical device) in order to have the i2c mux device
calling i2c_del_adapter() to remove its downtream adapters and so,
release references taken to the upstream adapter.
This consumer/supplier relationship is typically a devlink relationship.
Also, i2c muxes can be chained and so, the upstream adapter can be
supplied by either an i2c controller device or an other i2c mux device.
In order to get the physical device of the adapter a mux is connected
to, rely on the newly introduced i2c_adapter_get_physdev() and create
the missing devlink between the i2c mux device and the physical
device of the adapter the mux is connected to.
With that done, the i2c mux device is removed before the device
handling the upstream i2c adapter (i2c controller device or i2c mux
device). All references are released and the i2c_del_adapter() call
performed by driver handling the upstream adapter device is not blocking
anymore.
