[PATCH] mmc: allow mmc to block wait_for_device_probe()

From: Dennis Zhou
Date: Tue Mar 28 2023 - 18:37:52 EST


I've been hitting a failed data device lookup when using dm-verity and a
root device on an emmc partition. This is because there is a race where
dm-verity is looking for a data device, but the partitions on the emmc
device haven't been probed yet.

Initially I looked at solving this by changing devt_from_devname() to
look for partitions, but it seems there is legacy reasons and issues due
to dm.

MMC uses 2 levels of probing. The first to handle initializing the
host and the second to iterate attached devices. The second is done by
a workqueue item. However, this paradigm makes wait_for_device_probe()
useless as a barrier for when we can assume attached devices have been
probed.

This patch fixes this by exposing 2 methods inc/dec_probe_count() to
allow device drivers that do asynchronous probing to delay waiters on
wait_for_device_probe() so that when they are released, they can assume
attached devices have been probed.
