This MHI client driver allows userspace clients to transfer
raw data between MHI device and host using standard file operations.
Driver instantiates UCI device object which is associated to device
file node. UCI device object instantiates UCI channel object when device
file node is opened. UCI channel object is used to manage MHI channels
by calling MHI core APIs for read and write operations. MHI channels
are started as part of device open(). MHI channels remain in start
state until last release() is called on UCI device file node. Device
file node is created with format
/dev/mhi_<mhi_device_name>
Currently it supports QMI channel.

+ MHI based Userspace Client Interface (UCI) driver is used for

+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be

Why a pointer to uci_chan and not just plainly integrating the
structure here, AFAIU uci_chan describes the channels and is just a
subpart of uci_dev. That would reduce the number of dynamic
allocations you manage and the extra kref. do you even need a separate
structure for this?

This test is suspicious, kref_get_unless_zero should be enough to test, right?

This is what i added in documentation on v13
Device file node is created with format:-
/dev/mhi_<mhi_device_name>
mhi_device_name includes mhi controller name and the name of the MHI
channel being used by MHI client in userspace to send or receive data
using MHI protocol.
Loic's patch is going to update the controller name as indexed
controller name, which goes fine with or without his change going first.
For example: With Loic's change name of device node would be
/dev/mhi_mhi0_QMI
Without Loic's change it would be
/dev/mhi_0000:00:01.2_QMI
Please let me know if i am missing something.

This goes back to one of my patch versions i tried to address concern
from Greg. Since we need to ref count the channel as well as the uci
device i decoupled the two objects and used two reference counts for two
different objects.
Copying from V7 patch history
V7:
- Decoupled uci device and uci channel objects. uci device is
associated with device file node. uci channel is associated
with MHI channels. uci device refers to uci channel to perform
MHI channel operations for device file operations like read()
and write(). uci device increments its reference count for
every open(). uci device calls mhi_uci_dev_start_chan() to start
the MHI channel. uci channel object is tracking number of times
MHI channel is referred. This allows to keep the MHI channel in
start state until last release() is called. After that uci channel
reference count goes to 0 and uci channel clean up is performed
which stops the MHI channel. After the last call to release() if
driver is removed uci reference count becomes 0 and uci object is
cleaned up.

kref_get_unless_zero is de-referencing uchan->ref_count for the first
open uchan is set to NULL, for that NULL check is added for uchan.

What Greg complained about is the two kref in the same structure and
that you were using kref as an open() counter. But splitting your
struct in two in order to keep the two kref does not make the much
code better (and simpler). I'm still a bit puzzled about the driver
complexity, it's supposed to be just a passthrough interface to MHI
after all.
I would suggest several changes, that IMHO would simplify reviewing:
- Use only one structure representing the 'uci' context (uci_dev)
- Keep the read path simple (mhi_uci_read), do no use an intermediate
cur_buf pointer, only dequeue the buffer when it is fully consumed.
- As I commented before, take care of the dl_pending list access
concurrency, even in wait_event.
- You don't need to count the number of open() calls, AFAIK,
mhi_prepare_for_transfer() simply fails if channels are already
started...
For testing purpose, I've implemented those changes on my side (based
on your driver):
https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/telit/linux.git/commit/?h=mhi_uci_test&id=45ff60703cc26913061a26260e39cf3ab3e57c2b
Feel free to pick (or not), I'm not going to 'block' that series if
others are fine with the current implementation.
Anyway, I've tested your series and it works on my side with
libqmi/qmicli (controlling SDX55 modem):

That one part of his problem, yes, but if you unconditionally call
mhi_prepare_for_transfer in open(), it should fail for subsequent
users, and so only one user will successfully open the device.

I'm pretty sure that falls under "trying to prevent users from opening a
device" which Greg gave a pretty strong NACK to. So, that's not a solution.
So, the complete problem is -
N users need to be able to use the device (and by proxy, the channel)
concurrently, but prepare needs to be called on the first user coming
into the picture, and unprepare needs to be called on the last user
exiting the picture.
Hemant has supported this usecase in every rev of this series I've
looked at, but apparently every solution he has proposed to handle this
has caused confusion.

That would deserve clarification since other drivers like

Understood, but that can be done with a simple counter in that case.

If you look at the old original patch set, it was using simple counter
and Greg suggested to move away from that and use kref object, and then all
incremental changes done using single kref object udev to two separate
objects udev and uchan (introduced in v7).
Based on every reviewer's comment i thought driver looked cleaner and
moved away from complicated implementations when it was introduced
initially. If every one still agrees to that we can move forward with
its current form which includes valuable suggestions from all the
reviewers.
Thanks for testing my Change on your setup Loic. Mani wants me to update
the Documentation patch by modifying the QMI usage example. I am going
to upload next revision by updating the documentation.
LOOPBACK test application and its inclusion to mhi device id table would
be a separate patch series. Will share the LOOPBACK test application
public git hub link in Documentation.
Thanks Jeff for providing the background of the discussions from the past.
Thanks,
Hemant

Quoting Greg from the source - https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/17/873
"
I told you before, do not try to keep a device node from being opened
multiple times, as it will always fail (think about passing file handles
around between programs...)
If userspace wants to do this, it will do it. If your driver can't
handle that, that's fine, userspace will learn not to do that. But the
kernel can not prevent this from happening.

Unless I missed something, you seem to have ignored the root issue that
Hemant needs to solve, which is when to call
mhi_unprepare_for_transfer(). You can't just call that when close() is
called because there might be multiple users, and each one is going to
trigger a close(), so you need to know how many close() instances to
expect, and only call mhi_unprepare_for_transfer() for the last one.
