Using the ethernet interface name seems like a good idea to me. Sure it can change, but the name is typically chosen before the dsa device is instantiated, and if it is changed manually later we just can not help it.

I don't see how this would add any value. isa is the name of the ethernet device? Why is it not eth0? Most isa is just an internal name made up by libsensors, and pretty much just indicates something like neither i2c nor spi. It is mostly historic, but nowadays almost part of the ABI. It is made up by user space, based on the parent device type, not by the kernel. So for DSA, since it is not i2c or spi, the parent is actually irrelevant, because libsensor ignores it and says IsSomethingAlien. So the name alone needs to identify it. You have convinced me that 'dsa' as hwmon attribute name is insufficient, so let's see what we have. - the parent network device in dst-master_netdev - the dsa device in 'parent' - the host device in host_dev - the switch index in 'index' First question is what should be the parent device. Does it even matter, given the observation above? I would probably go for dsa, since as you said, the Ethernet device may have a temperature sensor of its own. DSA is a virtual device... Second is what to choose for the hwmon device 'name' attribute. 'dsa' is not sufficient, but what to choose instead ? dsa.X or dsa_X, where X is the switch index ? At this point I am open to suggestions. Note that we can not use the name returned from the switch probe functions as it may contain spaces and other invalid characters. Including the ethernet device name (eg as in eth0_dsa_0) may also be problematic if it can contain '-', which is illegal for hwmon devices. Does hwmon offer a function to sanitise a string?

So for DSA, since it is not i2c or spi, the parent is actually irrelevant, because libsensor ignores it and says "IsSomethingAlien".

Does hwmon offer a function to sanitise a string? The switch index definitely should be used and i would probably combine that with a sanitised version of the ethernet device name and "dsa".

Most isa is just an internal name made up by libsensors, and pretty much just indicates something like "neither i2c nor spi". It is mostly historic, but nowadays almost part of the ABI.

You have convinced me that 'dsa' as hwmon attribute name is insufficient, so let's see what we have. - the parent network device in dst->master_netdev - the dsa device in 'parent' - the host device in host_dev - the switch index in 'index' First question is what should be the parent device. We have three to choose from. Should it be the parent network device or the dsa device ? The dsa device seems like a better choice to me, but I am open to suggestions. A problem with choosing the network device as parent may be that this device could by itself have a temperature sensor (some Intel and broadcom Ethernet chips have that), which could cause confusion. Second is what to choose for the hwmon device 'name' attribute. 'dsa' is not sufficient, but what to choose instead ? dsa.X or dsa_X, where X is the switch index ? At this point I am open to suggestions. Note that we can not use the name returned from the switch probe functions as it may contain spaces and other invalid characters. Including the ethernet device name (eg as in eth0_dsa_0) may also be problematic if it can contain '-', which is illegal for hwmon devices.

I don't see how this would add any value. isa is the name of the ethernet device? Why is it not eth0? Most Marvell SoCs used in WiFi Access Points have multiple ethernet interfaces, so i would hope the parent actually identifies which ethernet interface it is hanging off. Now consider the example in http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/dsa.txt We have two switches hanging off one ethernet interface. What will the naming look like in this case? The Marvell DSA tagging scheme allows you to have 16 switches hanging off one ethernet interface. How is the naming going to work then, especially if there is a mixture of switch chips, some with temperature sensors, and some without? What would really help is if each switch has a device in the linux device model. The hwmon parent would then be the switch device. The EEPROM would then hang off the switch device, not an interface on the switch device, etc. Andrew -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Again, the parent device provides that information. libsensors, which is the preferred way of accessing sensors information from user space, provides the parent device instance as part of the logical sensor device name. In this case, the names will end up being dsa-isa-, dsa-isa-0001, and so on. With your added tags it would be dsa.0.0-isa-, dsa.0.1-isa-0001, and so on. I don't see how this would add any value. Also, temperature sensor 2 on switch 1 would be named temp2_input. There would not be a sepate hwmon device for the same chip. This is all quite similar to, say, the CPU temperature, which is reported by the sensors command as coretemp-isa- Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +28.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 0: +28.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 1: +24.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 2: +24.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 3: +26.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) on my system at home. The raw data in this case is name:coretemp temp1_crit:10 temp1_crit_alarm:0 temp1_input:31000 temp1_label:Physical id 0 temp1_max:8 temp2_crit:10 temp2_crit_alarm:0 temp2_input:31000 temp2_label:Core 0 temp2_max:8 temp3_crit:10 temp3_crit_alarm:0 temp3_input:26000 temp3_label:Core 1 temp3_max:8 temp4_crit:10 temp4_crit_alarm:0 temp4_input:24000 temp4_label:Core 2 temp4_max:8 temp5_crit:10 temp5_crit_alarm:0 temp5_input:27000 temp5_label:Core 3 temp5_max:8 In this case, the parent device symlink is device ->

My understanding is that each of those switch chips will instantiate itself, dsa_switch_setup will be called, which will create a new hwmon device with its own sensors. That is how all other hwmon devices do it, and it works just fine. Why would that approach not work for switches in the dsa infrastructure ? Am I missing something ? If the concern or assumption is that there can not be more than one "temp1_input" attribute, here is an example from a system with a large number of chips with temperature sensors. root@evo-xb49:/sys/class/hwmon# ls hwmon*/temp1_input hwmon1/temp1_input hwmon22/temp1_input hwmon35/temp1_input hwmon10/temp1_input hwmon23/temp1_input hwmon36/temp1_input hwmon11/temp1_input hwmon24/temp1_input hwmon37/temp1_input hwmon12/temp1_input hwmon25/temp1_input hwmon38/temp1_input hwmon13/temp1_input hwmon26/temp1_input hwmon39/temp1_input hwmon14/temp1_input hwmon27/temp1_input hwmon4/temp1_input hwmon15/temp1_input hwmon28/temp1_input hwmon40/temp1_input hwmon16/temp1_input hwmon29/temp1_input hwmon5/temp1_input hwmon17/temp1_input hwmon3/temp1_input hwmon6/temp1_input hwmon18/temp1_input hwmon30/temp1_input hwmon7/temp1_input hwmon19/temp1_input hwmon31/temp1_input hwmon8/temp1_input hwmon2/temp1_input hwmon32/temp1_input hwmon9/temp1_input hwmon20/temp1_input hwmon33/temp1_input hwmon21/temp1_input hwmon34/temp1_input There are 6xDS1625, 11xDS1721, 1xLM95234, 4xMAX6697, and 17xLTC2978 in this system if I counted correctly.

You have convinced me that 'dsa' as hwmon attribute name is insufficient, so let's see what we have. - the parent network device in dst-master_netdev - the dsa device in 'parent' - the host device in host_dev - the switch index in 'index' First question is what should be the parent device. We have three to choose from. Should it be the parent network device or the dsa device ? The dsa device seems like a better choice to me, but I am open to suggestions. A problem with choosing the network device as parent may be that this device could by itself have a temperature sensor (some Intel and broadcom Ethernet chips have that), which could cause confusion. Second is what to choose for the hwmon device 'name' attribute. 'dsa' is not sufficient, but what to choose instead ? dsa.X or dsa_X, where X is the switch index ? At this point I am open to suggestions. Note that we can not use the name returned from the switch probe functions as it may contain spaces and other invalid characters. Including the ethernet device name (eg as in eth0_dsa_0) may also be problematic if it can contain '-', which is illegal for hwmon devices.

Hi Florian,
unfortunately, that won't work; I had it initially and got a nice error message
from Fengguang's build test bot.
Problem is that hwmon can be built as module and the dsa subsystem can be built
into the kernel. In that case, hwmon functionality in the driver must be
disabled.
The above condition covers that case. The nouveau graphics driver has the same
problem and uses the same conditional to solve it.
An alternative would be to select HWMON in the NET_DSA Kconfig entry; the
Broadcom Tigon3 driver does that. I just don't know if that is a good idea.
I am open to suggestions.

You probably want the number of temperature sensors to come from the
switch driver, and support arbitrary number of temperature sensors?
In that case we would need the number of sensors, pass a sensor index,
and create a dynamic number of attributes. The code would get much more
complex without real benefit unless there is such a chip - and if there is,
we can still change the code at that time. I would prefer to keep it simple
for now.

You probably want the number of temperature sensors to come from the
switch driver, and support arbitrary number of temperature sensors?

Hi Florian,
unfortunately, that won't work; I had it initially and got a nice error message
from Fengguang's build test bot.
Problem is that hwmon can be built as module and the dsa subsystem can be built
into the kernel. In that case, hwmon functionality in the driver must be
disabled.
The above condition covers that case. The nouveau graphics driver has the same
problem and uses the same conditional to solve it.
An alternative would be to select HWMON in the NET_DSA Kconfig entry; the
Broadcom Tigon3 driver does that. I just don't know if that is a good idea.
I am open to suggestions.

In that case we would need the number of sensors, pass a sensor index,
and create a dynamic number of attributes. The code would get much more
complex without real benefit unless there is such a chip - and if there is,
we can still change the code at that time. I would prefer to keep it simple
for now.
Thanks,
Guenter
