The firmware cache mechanism serves two purposes, the secondary purpose is not well documented nor understood. This fixes a regression with the secondary purpose of the firmware cache mechanism: batched requests on successful lookups. Without this fix *any* time a batched request is triggered, secondary requests for which the batched request mechanism was designed for will seem to last forver and seem to never return. This issue is present for all kernel builds possible, and a hard reset is required. The firmware cache is used for: 1) Addressing races with file lookups during the suspend/resume cycle by keeping firmware in memory during the suspend/resume cycle 2) Batched requests for the same file rely only on work from the first file lookup, which keeps the firmware in memory until the last release_firmware() is called Batched requests *only* take effect if secondary requests come in prior to the first user calling release_firmware(). The devres name used for the internal firmware cache is used as a hint other pending requests are ongoing, the firmware buffer data is kept in memory until the last user of the buffer calls release_firmware(), therefore serializing requests and delaying the release until all requests are done. Batched requests wait for a wakup or signal so we can rely on the first file fetch to write to the pending secondary requests. Commit |
