  The sysfs based firmware loader mechanism was created to easily allow
userspace to upload firmware images to FPGA cards. This also happens to
be pretty suitable to create a user-initiated but kernel-controlled
firmware update mechanism for CXL devices, using the CXL specified
mailbox commands.

Since firmware update commands can be long-running, and can be processed
in the background by the endpoint device, it is desirable to have the
ability to chunk the firmware transfer down to smaller pieces, so that
one operation does not monopolize the mailbox, locking out any other
long running background commands entirely - e.g. security commands like
'sanitize' or poison scanning operations.

The firmware loader mechanism allows a natural way to perform this
chunking, as after each mailbox command, that is restricted to the
maximum mailbox payload size, the cxl memdev driver relinquishes control
back to the fw_loader system and awaits the next chunk of data to
transfer. This opens opportunities for other background commands to
access the mailbox and send their own slices of background commands.

Add the necessary helpers and state tracking to be able to perform the
'Get FW Info', 'Transfer FW', and 'Activate FW' mailbox commands as
described in the CXL spec. Wire these up to the firmware loader
callbacks, and register with that system to create the memX/firmware/
sysfs ABI.

Hi Vishal,

Various comments inline.

Thanks,

Odd though it is, Get FW Info
might be better to track with the spec abbreviation used
in the section title etc.
No idea why that got shortened.

I'd like this associate by naming slot info field even if that's
a bit wordy.
	CXL_FW_INFO_SLOT_INFO_CUR_MASK perhaps?

CXL_FW_INFO_ACTIVATION_CAP_HAS_LIVE_ACTIVATE

Wordy but makes it clear which field of the message this goes in.

As above, Transfer FW Input Payload
for spec alignment?

This looks like a field definition but it isn't.
Can we rename it or add a comment to make that clear.

Not seeing why activate or transfer should be in here.
Even info could be replaced with just the fields we care about outside
of the command itself.

I'd put this on the stack locally.  Doesn't need to be allocated
all the time.

Even though the extra part is size 0 I'd use
struct_size() to make that explicit.

maybe use an else and drop the goto?

Local variable for fw perhaps? Lots of cxlds->fw otherwise.
Same in some places above as well.

I'd expect this to be side effect free on error.  And it seems to be...
So why the cleanup below?  Looks like fw_name freed twice...

I'd be tempted to push one or more explicit devm_add_action_or_reset() calls into
there so that we can keep the setup and cleanup local in the code.  Also don't need
to do the kfree by hand above. Pity there is no devm_kmemdup_nul()

If you need to call this on firmware_upload_register() failing I'd be somewhat surprised...

I just have a quick drive-by comment for you....

The practice here is to use decimals [16]

I looked around, and see cxl_identify, cxl_event_mem_module, and
cxl_event_dram all have a few hex ones thrown in each. So I looked to
the spec to see if there was any consistency there, and unfortunately
it isn't either. The spec does say 'Length in bytes' 16 for these fw
revision fields though, so I think it makes sense changing these to
decimal..

..however for this one the spec has '78h'. I think we should just match
the spec in these cases so anyone cross referencing the header and spec
is saved from doing a bunch of math for these.

I think this wants to be a separate devm_add_action_or_reset() callback

Not sure ->fw_name is needed, see below.

Hung task timeouts start firing at 120 seconds
(CONFIG_DEFAULT_HUNG_TASK_TIMEOUT). The block layer gives up on disk I/O
by default at 30 seconds. Is 300 just an arbitrary choice and can we get
by with 30 for now?

A few notes.

- min() in terms of given type is min_t() to save that open-coded cast

- what is the align for? I.e. @size must bw 128-byte aligned,
  ->payload_size is a power of 2 starting at 256 bytes, and
  sizeof(*transfer) is 128.

So I think this can just be:

	cur_size = min_t(size_t, size, cxlds->payload_size - sizeof(*transfer));

What is this lock protecting? I.e. will the fw_loader really try to send
multiple overlapping firmware update attempts?

I tend to prefer atomic bitops for state flags, especially if that lets
you get away without a lock.

I would have expected this to skip registering a firmware loader
interface if the device does not support the firmware update commands.
See how the poison code gated setup based on command availability.

What is this doing? The device name of a cxl_memdev will never have the
string ".auto", looks like unnecessary copy/pasta.

Not sure this is needed either. AFAICS just pass dev_name(&cxlmd->dev)
and skip a separate string.

I had asked for decimal in the event and poison bits, but yes, we are not
consistent. Those ones stand out because even the spec has them as
decimal. Not a deal breaker either way.

The lock is just to provide predictable points at which a cancel
request may be intercepted. The loader won't try overlapping firmware
transfer requests, but the ->cancel request comes from user space, and
could happen while there is a transfer in progress. With the lock, the
cancel will only be 'processed' after the current chunk's transfer is
done.

I can look into that - and this was really just a sanity check, not for
any type of atomicity or locking, rather just to ensure the ->prepare
step has been run before we get to the ->write stage.

If it hadn't been run, it would be a bug in the firmware uploader core,
so I suspect we can just remove this and assume that the fw uploader
will always do the different steps in the right order.

Yep it was copy/pasta I'd meant to clean up but missed. Done now.

So right now cancel is only considered at certain points within either
the ->write() or ->poll_complete() callbacks. The firmware upload core
is guaranteeing that ->prepare(), ->write() and ->poll_complete() never
overlap for a given session, and that if any of those return an error
the upload session is terminated.

While the lock does flush in flight ->write() and ->prepare() it does
nothing to enforce when the cancellation is processed. It will still be
the case that the next invocation of ->write() or ->poll_complete() will
consider the cancel state before doing the next step.

I am failing to see what the lock is protecting. The other usage is for
checking that ->prepare() has completed before ->write() is invoked, but
again that is enforced by the firmware uploader workqueue.

I think the lock and the clear_to_send bit can be eliminated. Clear to
send is implied by ->prepare() succeeding. Convert cancel to an atomic
flag where cxl_fw_cancel() does:

set_bit(CXL_FW_CANCEL, &cxlds->fw.state);

...and cxl_fw_write() and cxl_fw_poll_complete() can just do:

if (test_and_clear_bit(CXL_FW_CANCEL, &cxlds->fw.state))
	do_cancel();
