I think those IDs already cached, in
acpi_init_device_object(),INIT_LIST_HEAD(&device->pnp.ids);
...acpi_set_pnp_ids(handle, &device->pnp, type);
please see APIacpi_device_hid(), so I think you can introduce a API withacpi_deviceand HID passed as arguments inscan.c
Thank you for your feedback, I've reworked the patch to iterate over acpi_bus_id_list instead of walking the namespace.
An alternative approach would have been to traverse the acpi_device tree but it would have been more code. If you would prefer that over the solution I've settled on please let me know. It would be useful for stuff like this to have a function that traverses the acpi_device tree and invokes a callback for each node, à la acpi_ns_walk_namespace(). Does such a thing exist already? If so I've missed it.

Will those drivers be loaded before the acpi namespace is scanned?
I verified that all 7 existing users invoke the new API from initcall level "device". The bus is scanned in initcall level "subsystem", i.e. earlier. So we're on the safe side here. I added a note in the kernel-doc that the function may not be called from a subsys_initcall() or earlier, this will hopefully make it foolproof. (If you feel this is over the top then just leave it out if/when merging.)

I'd prefer that to go to
utils.cto be honest, even if the namespace needs to be walked.
Done. Since this is not part of ACPICA, would it be okay to merge via ASoC as requested by Mark Brown?
I've pushed the new version of the series to GitHub for more convenient reviewing. All driver patches except the one for Mark have acks now:

Hmm, I didn't get it here. Seems the device's ID already freed in device core:
In acpi_add_single_object(), acpi_device_release() registered as a callback,
...
result = acpi_device_add(device, acpi_device_release);
...
And in acpi_device_release(), it will call acpi_free_pnp_ids() to free the IDs, did I miss some something?

Yes, I should have been more clear about this in the first place:
When the bus is scanned and acpi_device_add() is called for each device, not only do we initialize a struct acpi_device and attach it to the device tree, but we also add an element to acpi_bus_id_list.
Hence there are two ways to detect the presence of a HID: By traversing the device tree or by iterating over the list. I chose the latter because it is obviously cheaper and requires less code.
However elements only ever get added to the list, never deleted. I'm not sure if hotpluggable ACPI devices exist but if they do, this is a bug which is fixed by this patch.
The list was added with e49bd2dd5a50 ("ACPI: use PNPID:instance_no as bus_id of ACPI device") 9 years ago and the author even mentioned that the list elements are never freed:
"NOTE: Now I don't take the memory free work in charge.
If necessary, I can add a reference count in struct acpi_device_bus_id, and check the reference and when unregister a device, i.e. memory is freed when the reference count of a given PNPID is 0."
Best regards,
Lukas

ACPI devices can be hotpluggable :) , but it will have no memory leak I think, it only increase the instance number for ACPI devices removed and hot-added later, I don't know if it make sense to do that, for example, if you remove device A and B with same HID (such as ACPI0007) with your patch added:
remove processor 0, the sysfs for device A /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ACPI0007:00 will be removed;
remove processer 1, the sysfs for device B /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ACPI0007:01 will be removed;
But if we add it in reverse with your patch:
Add dprocesser 1, the sysfs /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ACPI0007:00 will be created,
add processor 0...
I'm not sure it will confuse user space or not.

Rafael, what's your opinion here?
Yes, with this patch the instance number is no longer strictly increasing and if devices are unplugged and replaced, instance numbers are recycled for the newly plugged devices. I have no idea if this can break things.
If this patch is not acceptable, the semantics of patch [v2 2/2] change in that acpi_dev_present() doesn't return the presence of a HID at the time of invocation, but rather whether such a device has ever been present since boot. It wouldn't be a problem because acpi_dev_present() is meant for presence detection of devices which are built into the system (same goes for the PCI counterpart pci_dev_present(), see the kerneldoc in drivers/pci/search.c). I'd have to adjust the kerneldoc though to reflect the changed semantics.
The other option would be to traverse the acpi_device tree instead of iterating over acpi_bus_id_list, then it would be possible to retain the semantics of detecting presence at the moment of invocation.
Please let me know which of these options makes the most sense to you so that I can adjust the patches.
Thank you,

PATCH v2 2/2 ACPI / utils: Add acpi_dev_present()
In reply to Lukas WunnerThere's an idiom in use by 7 Linux drivers to detect the presence of a particular ACPI HID by walking the namespace with acpi_get_devices(). The callback passed to acpi_get_devices() is mostly identical across the drivers, leading to lots of duplicate code.
Add acpi_dev_present(), the ACPI equivalent to pci_dev_present(), allowing us to deduplicate all that boilerplate in the drivers.
v2: * Instead of walking the namespace, iterate over acpi_bus_id_list
which has all HIDs cached (Hanjun Guo, Robert Moore).
* Move to utils.c (Rafael J. Wysocki). This necessitates non-static declaration of acpi_bus_id_list.

If the driver can't pass the "dev" as the argument form acpi device or platform device, this is the way to match HIDs.
But if we get the pointer to acpi device or platform device structure before calling this function, I think acpi_match_device_ids() can match what you need, and we don't need to invent another function.

If the driver can't pass the "dev" as the argument form acpi device or platform device, this is the way to match HIDs.
But if we get the pointer to acpi device or platform device structure before calling this function, I think
acpi_match_device_ids()can match what you need, and we don't need to invent another function.
Of the 7 users,
* 4 detect the presence of a particular HID to activate platform- specific quirks (acer-wmi.c, eeepc-wmi.c, thinkpad_helper.c, cht_bsw_max98090_ti.c). The drivers never obtain a pointer to the struct acpi_device. This is also the reason why I need to detect the presence of apple-gmux in several DRM drivers, to activate quirks specific to MacBook Pros with dual GPUs, and the one thing they have in common is the presence of the gmux controller. The DRM drivers likewise never have a need to hold a pointer to apple-gmux' struct acpi_device.
* 2 detect the presence of a particular HID and *afterwards* instantiate a platform_device (atom/sst/sst_acpi.c and common/sst-acpi.c). So we can't use acpi_match_device_ids() there either.
* 1 is a driver for a platform_device (cht_bsw_rt5645.c) which was instantiated by atom/sst/sst_acpi.c. The driver is responsible for two chips and differentiates between the two by detecting the presence of a particular HID. It would be possible to refactor the code so that atom/sst/sst_acpi.c passes down the matched HID to cht_bsw_rt5645.c, then it wouldn't be necessary to match for a second time. Also, the only difference between the two chipsets seems to be a minute change in struct snd_soc_dapm_route, so I'm wondering if it's necessary to differentiate between the chipsets at all. Mark Brown may want to poke the developers of the driver to refactor the code.
TL;DR: 6 of the 7 users can't use acpi_match_device_ids() and the 7th could be refactored so that it doesn't have to detect the presence of a specific HID at all.

Hi Hanjun Guo,
thank you for taking a look at the patches.

If the driver can't pass the "dev" as the argument form acpi device or platform device, this is the way to match HIDs.
But if we get the pointer to acpi device or platform device structure before calling this function, I think
acpi_match_device_ids()can match what you need, and we don't need to invent another function.Of the 7 users,
* 4 detect the presence of a particular HID to activate platform- specific quirks (
acer-wmi.c,eeepc-wmi.c,thinkpad_helper.c,cht_bsw_max98090_ti.c). The drivers never obtain a pointer to the structacpi_device. This is also the reason why I need to detect the presence of apple-gmux in several DRM drivers, to activate quirks specific to MacBook Pros with dual GPUs, and the one thing they have in common is the presence of the gmux controller. The DRM drivers likewise never have a need to hold a pointer to apple-gmux' structacpi_device.* 2 detect the presence of a particular HID and *afterwards* instantiate a
platform_device(atom/sst/sst_acpi.candcommon/sst-acpi.c). So we can't useacpi_match_device_ids()there either.* 1 is a driver for a
platform_device(cht_bsw_rt5645.c) which was instantiated byatom/sst/sst_acpi.c. The driver is responsible for two chips and differentiates between the two by detecting the presence of a particular HID. It would be possible to refactor the code so thatatom/sst/sst_acpi.cpasses down the matched HID tocht_bsw_rt5645.c, then it wouldn't be necessary to match for a second time. Also, the only difference between the two chipsets seems to be a minute change in structsnd_soc_dapm_route, so I'm wondering if it's necessary to differentiate between the chipsets at all. Mark Brown may want to poke the developers of the driver to refactor the code.

Thanks for the clarify, in this case, this patch makes sense to me.
