driver core: add a faux bus for use when a simple device/bus is needed

2025-02-13T15:58:51Z

Many drivers abuse the platform driver/bus system as it provides a simple way to create and bind a device to a driver-specific set of probe/release functions. Instead of doing that, and wasting all of the memory associated with a platform device, here is a "faux" bus that can be used instead.

For scsi_devinfo.c, use :export: so that exported symbols are put into the docbook. Drop :internal: -- they aren't needed in the docbook. For scsi_proc.c, drop :internal:. This will cause all documented private (as is already done) and exported symbols to be added to the docbook. For scsi_scan.c, switch from :internal: to :export: so that exported symbols are put into the generated docbook.

crypto: iaa - Fix IAA disabling that occurs when sync_mode is set to 'async'

2024-12-28T11:49:23Z

With the latest mm-unstable, setting the iaa_crypto sync_mode to 'async' causes crypto testmgr.c test_acomp() failure and dmesg call traces, and zswap being unable to use 'deflate-iaa' as a compressor: echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode [ 255.271030] zswap: compressor deflate-iaa not available [ 369.960673] INFO: task cryptomgr_test:4889 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

With 'async', iaa_crypto calls to compress/decompress submit the descriptor and return -EINPROGRESS, without any mechanism in the driver to poll for completions. Hence callers such as test_acomp() in crypto/testmgr.c or zswap, that wrap the calls to crypto_acomp_compress() and crypto_acomp_decompress() in synchronous wrappers, will block indefinitely. Even before zswap can notice this problem, the crypto testmgr.c's test_acomp() will fail and prevent registration of "deflate-iaa" as a valid crypto acomp algorithm, thereby disallowing the use of "deflate-iaa" as a zswap compress (zswap will fall-back to the default compressor in this case). To fix this issue, this patch modifies the iaa_crypto sync_mode set function to treat 'async' equivalent to 'sync', so that the correct and only supported driver async polling without interrupts implementation is enabled, and zswap can use 'deflate-iaa' as the compressor. Hence, with this patch, this is what will happen: echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode cat /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode sync There are no crypto/testmgr.c test_acomp() errors, no call traces and zswap can use 'deflate-iaa' without any errors. The iaa_crypto documentation has also been updated to mention this caveat with 'async' and what to expect with this fix. True iaa_crypto async polling without interrupts is enabled in patch "crypto: iaa - Implement batch_compress(), batch_decompress() API in iaa_crypto." [1] which is under review as part of the "zswap IAA compress batching" patch-series [2]. Until this is merged, we would appreciate it if this current patch can be considered for a hotfix.
