[PATCH v4 0/7] Introduce debugfs device-centered functions

From: Maíra Canal
Date: Mon Dec 19 2022 - 07:07:53 EST


This series introduces the initial structure to make DRM debugfs more
device-centered and it is the first step to drop the
drm_driver->debugfs_init hooks in the future [1].

Currently, DRM debugfs files are created using drm_debugfs_create_files()
on request. The first patch of this series makes it possible for DRM devices
for creating debugfs files during drm_dev_register(). For it, it introduces
two new functions that can be used by the drivers: drm_debugfs_add_files()
and drm_debugfs_add_file(). The requests are added to a list and are created
all at once during drm_dev_register(). Moreover, the first patch was based on
this RFC series [2].

The main difference between the RFC series and the current series is the
creation of a new fops structure to accommodate the new structs and, also,
the creation of a new drm_debugfs_open. Moreover, the new series uses
device-managed allocation, returns memory allocation errors, and converts
more drivers to the new structure.

Moreover, since v3, the ability to create debugfs files at late_register hooks was
added. In previous versions, modeset components weren't able to create debugfs
files at late_register hooks as the registration of drm_minor happens before the
registration of the modeset abstractions. So, the third patch fixes this problem
by adding a drm_debugfs_late_register() function. Thanks to Melissa Wen for
catching this problem!

Apart from the third patch, the series looks similiar from its last version.

v1 -> v2: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20221122190314.185015-1-mcanal@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

- Fix compilation errors in the second patch (kernel test robot).
- Drop debugfs_init hook from vkms (Maíra Canal).
- Remove return values and error handling to debugfs related
functions (Jani Nikula).
- Remove entry from list after the file is created, so that drm_debugfs_init
can be called more than once (Maíra Canal).

v2 -> v3: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20221123220725.1272155-1-mcanal@xxxxxxxxxx/

- Rebase on top of drm-misc-next

v3 -> v4: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20221207132325.140393-1-mcanal@xxxxxxxxxx/

- Add Maxime's Reviewed-by tags
- Add the ability to create debugfs files at late_register hooks (Melissa Wen).
