mei: make sysfs modalias format similar as uevent modalias

2017-06-03T10:10:22Z

modprobe is not able to resolve sysfs modalias for mei devices. # cat /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/device/watchdog/watchdog0/device/modalias mei::05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab: # modprobe --set-version 4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64 -R mei::05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab: modprobe: FATAL: Module mei::05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab: not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64 # cat /lib/modules/4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64/modules.alias | grep 05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab alias mei:*:05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab:*:* mei_wdt commit b26864cad1c9 ("mei: bus: add client protocol version to the device alias"), however sysfs modalias is still in formmat mei:S:uuid:*.

mei: drop amthif internal client

2017-04-08T15:38:25Z

AMTHIF has special support in the mei drive, it handles multiplexing multiple user space connection above single me client connection. Since there is no additional addressing information there is a strict requirement on the traffic order on each connection and on the "read after write" order within the connection. This creates a lot of complexity mostly because the other client types do not necessarily fall under the same restriction. After carefully studying the use of the AMTHIF client, we came to conclusion that the multiplexing is not really utilized by any application and we may safely remove that support and significantly simplify the driver.

mei: bus: unregister callbacks upon me client disable call

Stop and unregister receive and notification callbacks from the disable function, to allow its later re-enablement. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: bus: prevent hardware module unload if device on bus is active

2017-01-31T10:07:43Z

The hardware module should not be unloaded if the bus has active devices. Get get_/put_ bus parent module upon client device connection/disconnection, to prevent the hardware managing module to disappear underneath.

mei: bus: cancel and disable callback after release call

2017-01-31T10:07:43Z

A driver on the mei bus may rely on the availability of the receive callback during driver remove() call, e.g. mei_wdt. Move callbacks dismantling after the remove() call to unblock that scenario. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: bus: enable non-blocking RX

2016-12-06T10:05:46Z

Enable non-blocking receive for drivers on mei bus, this allows checking for data availability by mei client drivers. This is most effective for fixed address clients, that lacks flow control. This function adds new API function mei_cldev_recv_nonblock(), it retuns -EGAIN if function will block.

mei: bus: split RX and async notification callbacks

Split callbacks for RX and async notification events on mei bus to eliminate synchronization problems and to open way for RX optimizations. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: bus: make a client pointer always available

2016-11-17T15:37:49Z

Change life time of the client pointer, allocate it upon client device creation and free it upon device destruction, instead of upon connection and disconnection. This helps to eliminate racy NULL checks in the bus code. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
