Re: [PATCH v3] clk: Add PWM clock driver

From: Janusz UÅycki
Date: Thu Dec 11 2014 - 12:02:30 EST


Hi again,

Part of my .config:
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y

However the patch does not help against the bug:
--- a/linux-3.14.17/drivers/clk/clk-pwm.c
+++ b/linux-3.14.17/drivers/clk/clk-pwm.c
@@ -25,15 +25,22 @@ struct clk_pwm {

}

The problem is rather clk_enable_lock/clk_enable_unlock
called twice. Once for the pwm-clock and the second for
pwm's clock (clk_prepare_enable/clk_disable_unprepare).
Any idea? How does it work for you?

thanks,
Janusz

thank you for the comments.

NULL or clk_name ?
There's only one pwm input to the pwm-clock, so I see no need to use a
con_id here and require the pwm-names device tree property to be set.

OK

You can use NSEC_PER_SEC instead of the hardcoded value.
Thanks, I'll fix that.

This can't prevent against buggy pwm driver (bad frequency)
because there is not function to read the period back, ie.
.pwm_config callback does not modify duty_ns and period_ns to real
values indeed.
Of course, this is only to make sure that the clock-frequency and pwm
duty cycle are roughly the same.

OK, it looks good and simple.

There is the way to set directly
pwm->period = NSEC_PER_SEC / clk_pwm>fixed_rate;
instead of third argument (period_ns) of pwms. Although the argument is
required
(#pwm-cells >= 2 and *_xlate_* functions) it could be set to 0 in pwms.
Such calculation should be right for most PWMs if they are clocked not
faster
than eg. 40MHz. Above div-round issue can appear but it also appears due
to ns resolution.
I can't point if this is the best solution for the future.

and what about CLK_IS_BASIC?
Yes, I'll add that.

+ init.num_parents = 0;
Is it proof against suspend/resume race of pwm driver vs pwm-clock's
customer?
Otherwise chain of clocks can be broken.
Are there pwm drivers that disable pwm output in their suspend callback?
I don't think system wide suspend/resume ordering can protect against
that at all, since the two devices may be on completely different buses.
In that case it'd probably be best to use runtime pm to keep the pwm
activated until clk_disable/pwm_disable is called by the consumer.

Will add and remove those, respectively.

Why doesn't mcp251x trigger probe of pwm-clock driver?
The fixed-clock uses CLK_OF_DECLARE which defines .data
of of_device_id instead of .probe. Unfortunately I'm not so much
familiar with DT.
Any idea?
Did you add "simple-bus" to the clocks node compatible? The pwm-clock
device tree node needs to be placed somewhere where of_platform_populate
will consider it.

Yeah, I've added simple-bus but then I also removed from the driver .of_match_table and
added node = of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL, "pwm-clock") and of_node_put(node)
in the probe. The probe wasn't called. still Your suggestion helped me a lot to undo
the wrong experiment, thanks!
Expressing somewhere meaning of "simple-bus" could be a nice step.

"fixed-clock" was probed without "simple-bus" as it uses CLK_OF_DECLARE (init section).
Now the pwm-clk [v3 + .remove + CLK_IS_BASIC + debug messages] driver is probed.
My debug messages on system start (the driver is built-in, not a module):
clk_pwm_probe: node c7efb9dc
clk_pwm_recalc_rate: freq 12000000

On "modprobe mcp251x" with the pwm-clock configured I get
"BUG: scheduling while atomic: modprobe/1374/0x00000002"
and the back-trace below. It doesn't appear if fixed-clock used.
On "rmmod" I get similar issue below.

Do you investigate tags like MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2"), author etc. for the driver?

thanks,
Janusz
