Subject: [PATCH v9 07/22] clk: Add API to get index of the clock parent

This patch adds an API clk_hw_get_parent_index to get index of the

Is there a reason we can't save the clk hw index at suspend time by
reading the hardware to understand the current parent? The parent index
typically doesn't matter unless we're trying to communicate something
from the framework to the provider driver. Put another way, I would
think the provider driver can figure out the index itself without having
to go through the framework to do so.

The caller should be ashamed if they call this with NULL arguments.
I'd prefer we skip this check and we get an oops.

Isn't it a bit wasteful to duplicate information about the parent within
a provider if framework already has that info? The whole point of this
new API is to allow providers to avoid that unnecessary duplication.

Please note that clk_hw_get_parent_index is getting used only at the
resume time and not at suspend.

I agree with this. All of the information that we need is already cached
in the framework. Doing this in the driver would mean essentially adding
a "saved parent" field along with code to read the value at suspend time
to the three types of clocks that currently use this core helper.

That's certainly something that we *can* do, but it doesn't sound like a
better option than simply querying the framework for the value that we
need.

Don't we already have a "saved parent" field by storing the pointer to
the clk_hw?

Let me say this another way. Why does this driver want to know the index
that the framework uses for some clk_hw pointer? Perhaps it happens to
align with the same value that hardware uses, but I still don't
understand why the driver wants to know what the framework has decided
is the index for some clk_hw pointer.

Or is this something like "give me the index for the parent that the
framework thinks I currently have but in reality don't have anymore
because the register contents were wiped and we need to reparent it"? A
generic API to get any index for this question is overkill and we should
consider adding some sort of API like clk_hw_get_current_parent_index(),
or a framework flag that tells the framework this parent is incorrect
and we need to call the .set_parent() op again to reconfigure it.

Yeah, that's exactly what this is being used for. It's used to restore
the parent/child relationship during resume after the registers have
been wiped during supend.

Okay, I think I see what you're saying. The current implementation does
carry a bit of a risk because users could be calling this function with
any arbitrary pair of struct clk_hw *, even completely unrelated ones.

How about we turn it into this instead:

/**
* clk_hw_get_parent_index - return the index of the parent clock
* @hw: clk_hw associated with the clk being consumed
*
* Fetches and returns the index of parent clock. Returns -EINVAL if the given
* clock does not have a current parent.
*/
int clk_hw_get_parent_index(struct clk_hw *hw)
{
struct clk_hw *parent = clk_hw_get_parent(hw);

if (!parent)
return -EINVAL;

return clk_fetch_parent_index(hw->core, parent->core);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(clk_hw_get_parent_index);

I think that has the advantage that we can't pass it a parent that's not
really a parent. There's still the slightly weird case where the clock
doesn't have a current parent, but hopefully that's something we are not
going to encounter much. After all this only makes sense to be called on
mux clocks and they always do have a parent by definition.

Perhaps we should be more explicit and wrap that !parent conditional in
a WARN_ON()? In my local patches I do that at the call sites because
they are all functions returning void, so we'd be silently ignoring the
cases, but I think it may make sense to have it in the core.

Any thoughts?

Thierry

Ok cool. Our whole suspend/resume and save/restore story hasn't really
been well thought out so we may want to pull all this logic into the
core one day. For now it's OK to do the heavy lifting from provider
drivers until someone gets a better grasp on how this should all work.

Sure a WARN_ON() sounds fair. That will not take the whole task down
and makes sure that drivers aren't doing something incorrect. Otherwise,
this looks good and we can optimize by caching the parent index later if
we really need to.

Ah, that would explain why I was scratching my head trying to understand
how exactly this was supposed to work. It did feel like there was some
infrastructure there, but looking around there wasn't a very consistent
usage pattern that I could find.

I think suspend/resume is always a little tricky. For example the clocks
may required a slightly different logical sequences between SoCs. Maybe
even different types of clocks have different needs. We seem to have a
bit of that on Tegra alone already. Without having delved into this too
much, it seems to me like the core can't do a whole lot without stepping
(potentially) on drivers' toes.

The current save_context/restore_context seems to be mostly that,
though, so I think it's a good starting point. You're right that we may
eventually see clearer patterns appear.

Okay, great. I'll go replace the above patch in the branch that I have.
I'm not sure if you saw it, but I had sent this in a pull request for
v5.5-rc1 about a week ago because I've got Tegra clock driver patches
that depend on this. I can replace this patch with the above proposal
and update the Tegra clock driver branch and then resend the two pull
requests.

Does that sound like a plan?
