[v3,4/4] bus: mhi: clients: Add user space client interface driver

Commit Message

Hemant Kumar June 11, 2020, 6:13 p.m. UTC

This MHI client driver allows user space clients to transfer
data between MHI device and host using standard file operations.
Device file node is created with format

/dev/mhi_<controller_name>_<mhi_device_name>

Currently it supports loopback client.

I think we need to explicitly specify 'raw' data here. Because we have different
APIs for queuing different types of data. So saying just data sounds vague
unless this driver can handle multiple types of data which I don't think can
happen.

And you need to update the same in docs.

Hmm, so this patchset depends on debugfs patches? You need to mention this in
cover letter. Or even better, just make it independent.

I don't think we need MHI_BUS dependency here.

How about the kdoc comments for all fields and structures used?

It seems like you are trying to protect a field (enabled) in parent structure
(uci_dev) using this lock. This sounds weird. Why can't you just use the mutex
present in that?

The comments should clearly portray what the field is for.

This sentence is not correct.

Again, please use descriptive comments. Need not be multi lines but something
which could be understood easily.

Please use object names different from datatype names everywhere.

I'd prefer to have this assignment in definition block.

Aren't you segfaulting here?

Where is this uci_buf getting used?

Failed to queue buffer: %d

So is this buffer getting freed anywhere?

Add a new line after '}' and before next line of code.

Hmm. So you are freeing uci_dev here and also trying to do the same in
mhi_uci_remove.

This is what looks wrong to me.

So you are removing the char dev node even if there are users in the system.
Why do you want to do so?

You should return -ENODEV here.

Please avoid "Enter" debug prints.

Why do you want to hold the lock till here?

Does using "wait_event_interruptible_timeout" makes sense here?

You need to return -ENODEV for !uci_dev->enabled case.

You need to do something better here. This doesn't look good.

Driver does not depend on debugfs. i need to fix that.

Reason i added was, if MHI BUS is not enabled "MHI clients support"

no, in probe we do this
uci_dev->actual_mtu = uci_dev->mtu -  sizeof(struct uci_buf);
and save meta data uci_buf data ptr and len.  it is done in 
mhi_dl_xfer_cb() function and used in read().

yes that is based on ref count, so no double free. do you see any issue

Removing char dev node is done when MHI device is removed. It is 
possible that user space entity would exist but MHI device is removed
due to underlying transport disconnect. i dont see a way to prevent
this or i am missing your point. Can you pls elaborate your concern.

No, read needs to be blocked until data comes. user space would call 
read() and wait for data to arrive. There is no definite time when data 
would arrive.

how about keeping the number of bytes xferred and remove exit from the

driver issues.

This would help if client provided buffer is smaller than the received 
rx data. Even though this function would only copy the mount of buffer
provided by user space but we can track that condition.

This is same as what we are doing in write(). I can add the 
uci_dev->enabled check here as well and return -ENODEV as you commented

If your concern is about locking, i am going to come up with the change 
to fix that. If you concern is about node getting removed while read is 
issued then i dont see how we can prevent that.

we are not doing any TX, we are just queuing the rx buffer back to get

In case remove() is in progress and enabled is set to false but 
destroy_device is not called yet. It covers that case and open() is 
called by user space entity.

done in release. For every open increment the ref count and for every

I can remove the enter and exit from the message but it helps to debug 
race conditions between remove() and open()/release(). i Can say 
something like removing mhi_dev->name

It is possible that ref_count becomes 0 in release() then it would be

We can optimize this as below:

config MHI_BUS
	...

if MHI_BUS

source "drivers/bus/mhi/clients/Kconfig"

endif

Then we don't need to explicitly specify MHI_BUS dependency in sub-directories.

Ah.. I misread this. I thought you're adding actual_mtu to buf. Sorry for the
noise.

You're not assigning uci_buf here. Then how it will get freed? Moreover I don't
see any reason to allocate uci_buf in this function.

You are decreasing the refcount here and freeing uci_dev if refcount is 0. Then
in mhi_uci_remove() you're again checking if the refcount is 0 and then trying
to release uci_dev. Am I missing something?

Since you're allocating uci_dev in probe(), you should only free it in remove().

I didn't closely look where the device is getting created. Please ignore my

Hmm, I thought we could timeout at some point. But that's fine.

The userspace will know how much buffer allocated, so no need to say it here.

It is done above right after kmalloc
uci_buf = buf + actual_mtu;

Later uci_buf->data is saving the buf pointer in this function, which is 
getting freed in mhi_uci_release() like this:-

list_for_each_entry_safe(itr, tmp, &uci_chan->pending, node){		 
list_del(&itr->node);
			kfree(itr->data);
}

if uci_dev->enabled is true then we free it remove.

This is typical way of doing read(), as you dont know when is the next 
packet would arrive so you just keep TREs queued to get the packet from 
MHI Device side in case they have more data to send to Host.

No, the way it works is: In release() we decrement ref count and check 
if uci_dev->enabled is false which means remove was already called. In 
that case we free in release(). In case remove was not called yet, then 
if release() is called we do not free uci_dev and free it on remove().
Both functions are protected with same mutext lock uci_dev->lock.
