Maybe it is a little over-engineered. I think it may be used for some
random dependency between devices. Such as in some embedded system, the
power of USB controller may be controlled by some GPIO, so the USB
controller driver should access the GPIO driver.
Now, I made the signalthreaded probing the default. But the probing of
different subsystems are still parallelized.
Thanks for your comments. There are many problems in my patch. But for
now, the feasibility may be the biggest problem. The patch can be seen
as the helper for my description.
The summary of dependency rule is as follow:
1. A flag as follow is added to struct device.
unsigned multithreaded_probe:1;
If it is set, the devices sub-tree with this device as root will be
probed parallelized with other devices sub-tree. If it is clear, the
device belongs to the devices sub-tree of the parent of the device, and
should be probed serially with other devices in the devices sub-tree.
The root devices (without parent) is assumed to have this flag set (in
spite of the actual value). With this flag, the PCI subsystem can be
probed serially, while IEEE 1394 subsystem can be probed parallelized
among different device node, but serially among different unit in a
node.
2. A field as follow is added to struct device.
struct device *depend;
The device will not start probing unless the probing of the device
pointed by depend has been finished. This is used to control some random
dependency between devices.
3. The probing of the device will not be started, unless the probing of
the parent of the device has been finished.
I revised my patch to reflect the rule above, so resend it.
