[PATCH v2 6/6] gpiolib: notify user-space about in-kernel line state changes
Posted by Bartosz Golaszewski 1 month, 2 weeks ago
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

We currently only notify user-space about line config changes that are
made from user-space. Any kernel config changes are not signalled.

Let's improve the situation by emitting the events closer to the source.
To that end let's call the relevant notifier chain from the functions
setting direction, gpiod_set_config(), gpiod_set_consumer_name() and
gpiod_toggle_active_low(). This covers all the options that we can
inform the user-space about. We ignore events which don't have
corresponding flags exported to user-space on purpose - otherwise the
user would see a config-changed event but the associated line-info would
remain unchanged.

gpiod_direction_output/input() can be called from any context.
Fortunately, we now emit line state events using an atomic notifier
chain, so it's no longer an issue.

Let's also add non-notifying wrappers around the direction setters in
order to not emit superfluous reconfigure events when requesting the
lines as the initial config should be part of the request notification.

So lines requested from kernel space will result in a LINE_REQUESTED and
then a series of LINE_CHANGED_CONFIG?  Whereas for lines requested from
userspace those will be collapsed into the one LINE_REQUESTED event?
That's not ideal, but I realise making the rest of the kernel behave as
per cdev would be non-trivial, so ok - it all comes out in the wash.
And it is clearly better than nothing.

Cheers,
Kent.

No, why? I added the notification about the request to
gpiod_find_and_request() which is called by all the kernel getters and
it already configures all the flags without emitting events and calls
the non-notify variant of the direction setter. When a kernel driver
requests a GPIO, I only see a single event UNLESS after the
gpiod_get() call returns, it sets direction or changes config - just
like user-space.

Oh, ok, I was assuming there could be others using gpiolib the same way
cdev does.  So cdev is the only one that takes the gpiod_request(),
gpiod_direction_output() etc path?  All good then.

Cheers,
Kent.
