Without this, my "Gasia Co.,Ltd PS(R) Gamepad" would not send
any events. Now everything works including the leds.

Based on work by Andrew Haines and Antonio Ospite.

Antonio's original approach was not enough; it enabled the events,
but only for a few seconds, then the controller timed out and sent
no more. Andrew's did more than was necessary. This is a combination
of the two, against Linus' git.

Please don't.
HID should be transport agnostic, so please refrain from directly call usb.

18 or 65 should be retrieved by the description of the device, not hardcoded.

0xf5 should not be hardcoded. You have to retrieve it from the
description of the device or at least put a special case for your
specific game controller.

Can't you simply use a hid_hw_output_report request instead of hard
coding the device specific endpoint?
And I'd also prefer it to be guarded against your specific controller.

However I don't mind about hardcoding these values here.
The device report descriptor does not describe all the feature reports,
it never has and it's not really worth doing that IMHO.

I find this acceptable, more so considering that the current code does
exactly the same for feature report 0xf2.

The operations are just ping-of-life tricks, nothing we want to expose.

The error message is not accurate in this case.
You could use something like "can't set operational mode: step 2" to
differentiate between the errors and call "step 1" the previous one.

usb_interrupt_msg() is called in usbhid_output_report() indeed, so it
should be possible to use the generic HID interface.

And adjust this message accordingly. Call it "step 3" perhaps?

Regarding the USB. This is a comment from Andrew's patch:

// doesn't work. gets sent as a SET_REPORT Request intstead of a
// URB_INTERRUPT out. I guess usbhid->urbout is null
//if ( hdev->hid_output_raw_report(hdev, buf2, sizeof(buf2),

I took his word for it, and did not attempt it. Do you think it would
work with the current kernel? If so, I can test later. Had quite an
enjoyable evening playing some FF7 once I had the controller working ;)

Antonio, others, can you test with official Sony controllers that the
current patch did not break them? I only have the Gasia.

Sure, will edit the error messages.

You cannot do this. Even for a single byte DMA on the stack is
wrong. Not on all architectures it works at all and you violate
the DMA constrainsts. You must use kmalloc().

Hi Oliver,

Does this still apply when using hid_hw_output_report?

Yes. For USB devices hid_hw_output_report() goes to
usbhid_output_report(). That goes to usb_interrupt_msg(),
which passes the buffer pointer. It will then be mapped
for DMA. You must not do that on the stack.

	HTH

Should we have some kind of runtime test for this ...? Because this is

Are you sure CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG wouldn't warn here?

As far as I can tell, it will not warn. The problem is not in the
mapping itself. That is usually legitimate. The problem arises
because the buffer doesn't have a cacheline of its own. Thus the
memory corruption happens after the IO operation has started.

Nasty. Would WARN_ON(buffer & CACHELINE_SIZE-1) do at least part of
the trick? Alternatively, could we call ksize() on the object, and
fail if it is not big enough?

Alternatively, we could create "allocate_for_usb" function, and only
take pointers allocated by that function in usb functions. That would
also teach people the problem exists...

No. It is perfectly legitimate to put your buffer at an offset
or to combine buffers provided you don't use them at the same
time.

What object? We have a pointer to a memory location.

No, this problem is not limited to USB.

Legitimate: yes. Is anyone doing it? And will not they see exactly the
same data corruption with the aliasing data?

Well.. Recognize that just because you have a pointer does not mean
you can pass it to certain functions.

Maybe those functions should not be taking pointers in the first
place....

Yes, hid_hw_request() and hid_hw_raw_request() send
SET_REPORT/GET_REPORT in the ctrl line. If you want output-reports on
the intr line, you have to use hid_hw_output_report(). So according to
your quote, hid_hw_output_report() should work.

Background: Documentation/hid/hid-transport.txt

Thanks

For this particular function probably not. In the general case, yes.
That's how you continue after an error.

> same data corruption with the aliasing data?

No, the error happens by touching another part of the cacheline
from the CPU thus loading stale content into the cache.
You can even have simultaneous DMA to two buffers in the same cacheline
provided you touch neither until the last DMA has finished.

What else would it take? Should we force people to allocate a new
buffer every time? That would make the API for reading and writing
asymmetric.
