driver core: fw_devlink: Improve detection of overlapping cycles
fw_devlink can detect most overlapping/intersecting cycles. However it was missing a few corner cases because of an incorrect optimization logic that tries to avoid repeating cycle detection for devices that are already marked as part of a cycle. Here's an example provided by Xu Yang (edited for clarity): usb +-----+ tcpc | | +-----+ | +--| | |----------->|EP| |--+ | | +--| |EP|<-----------| | |--+ | | B | | | +-----+ | A | | +-----+ | ^ +-----+ | | | | | +-----| C |<--+ | | +-----+ usb-phy Node A (tcpc) will be populated as device 1-0050. Node B (usb) will be populated as device 38100000.usb. Node C (usb-phy) will be populated as device 381f0040.usb-phy. The description below uses the notation: consumer --> supplier child ==> parent 1. Node C is populated as device C. No cycles detected because cycle detection is only run when a fwnode link is converted to a device link. 2. Node B is populated as device B. As we convert B --> C into a device link we run cycle detection and find and mark the device link/fwnode link cycle: C--> A --> B.EP ==> B --> C 3. Node A is populated as device A. As we convert C --> A into a device link, we see it's already part of a cycle (from step 2) and don't run cycle detection. Thus we miss detecting the cycle: A --> B.EP ==> B --> A.EP ==> A Looking at it another way, A depends on B in one way: A --> B.EP ==> B But B depends on A in two ways and we only detect the first: B --> C --> A B --> A.EP ==> A To detect both of these, we remove the incorrect optimization attempt in step 3 and run cycle detection even if the fwnode link from which the device link is being created has already been marked as part of a cycle.
