The uevent() callback in struct device_type should not be modifying the
device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the
function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use
this callback.

This is an intermediate step as far as I know since moving container_of to
recognize const is a bit noisy right now. I guess you can find a discussion
on the topic between Greg and Sakari.

Can't we do:

static inline const struct ssam_device *to_ssam_device(const struct device *d)
{
	return container_of(d, const struct ssam_device, dev);
}

There are at least a couple of places (device/driver-management and
device-removal related, I think) using this function and requiring
non-const access.

A bunch of other instances could be converted to const-access only, but
that would require a couple more function signature changes (I should
probably set up a patch for that regardless of this here as being a bit
more strict about this makes sense).

You could, if you can always handle a const pointer coming out of this
function, but I don't think you can.

What you might want to do instead, and I'll be glad to do it for all of
the functions like this I change, is to do what we have for struct
device now:

static inline struct device *__kobj_to_dev(struct kobject *kobj)
{
        return container_of(kobj, struct device, kobj);
}

static inline const struct device *__kobj_to_dev_const(const struct kobject *kobj)
{
        return container_of(kobj, const struct device, kobj);
}

/*
 * container_of() will happily take a const * and spit back a non-const * as it
 * is just doing pointer math.  But we want to be a bit more careful in the
 * driver code, so manually force any const * of a kobject to also be a const *
 * to a device.
 */
#define kobj_to_dev(kobj)                                       \
        _Generic((kobj),                                        \
                 const struct kobject *: __kobj_to_dev_const,   \
                 struct kobject *: __kobj_to_dev)(kobj)


Want me to do the same thing here as well?

thanks,

That looks great! Thanks!

I would very much prefer that.

Ok, will respin this patch as at least 2 individual patches, one that
does the change to to_ssam_device() and the next that does the bus-wide
changes.

I'll review the other container_of() users in this patch as well to see
if they can be converted as well.

It would be nice to have a shared macro code gen all of the above
instead of copy and pasting it. Then maybe other cases beyond struct
device could adopt const too..

I think I tried to create such a beast, but failed, so ended up
open-coding it in a few places in the USB headers already.  I can try it
again, but the redirection gets tricky (defines creating defines...)

This seems OK:

#define generic_container_of(in_type, in, out_type, out_member) \
	_Generic(in,                                        \
                  const in_type *: ((const out_type *)container_of(in, out_type, out_member)),   \
                  in_type *: ((out_type *)container_of(in, out_type, out_member)) \
		  )

#define kobj_to_dev(__kobj) \
	generic_container_of(struct kobject, __kobj, struct device, kobj)

There's a neat trick I found in seqlock.h:

#define generic_container_of(in_t, in, out_t, m)			\
	_Generic(*(in),							\
		const in_t: ((const out_t *)container_of(in, out_t, m)), \
		in_t: ((out_t *)container_of(in, out_type, m))	\
	)

and now it fits in 80 columns ;-)

Aside from less letters, is their another benifit to using *(in) ?

Nice trick!  Dropping the inline functions is a bit different, let me
see if that still gives a sane error if we pass an incorrect type or
mess with the const * the wrong way.  I'll run some tests tomorrow
afternoon...

I think we might be able to now, my previous attempts with inline
functions prevented that.  I'll beat on that tomorrow...

Maybe that is what threw me before, I can't remember.  I do know we
tried a number of different attempts, can't recall the failed ones...
