From e9ce2ce17da626d930812199568bd426b2832f57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulf Hansson Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2021 14:16:10 +0100 Subject: mmc: core: Drop reference counting of the bus_ops When the mmc_rescan work is enabled for execution (host->rescan_disable), it's the only instance per mmc host that is allowed to set/clear the host->bus_ops pointer. Besides the mmc_rescan work, there are a couple of scenarios when the host->bus_ops pointer may be accessed. Typically, those can be described as as below: *) Upper mmc driver layers (like the mmc block device driver or an SDIO functional driver) needs to execute a host->bus_ops callback. This can be considered as safe without having to use some special locking mechanism, because they operate on top of the struct mmc_card. As long as there is a card to operate upon, the mmc core guarantees that there is a host->bus_ops assigned as well. Note that, upper layer mmc drivers are of course responsible to clean up from themselves from their ->remove() callbacks, otherwise things would fall apart anyways. **) Via the mmc host instance, we may need to force a removal of an inserted mmc card. This happens when a mmc host driver gets unbind, for example. In this case, we protect the host->bus_ops pointer from concurrent accesses, by disabling the mmc_rescan work upfront (host->rescan_disable). See mmc_stop_host() for example. This said, it seems like the reference counting of the host->bus_ops pointer at some point have become superfluous. As this is an old mechanism of the mmc core, it a bit difficult to digest the history of when that could have happened. However, let's drop the reference counting to avoid unnecessary code-paths and lockings.
