[PATCH v4 8/8] gpiolib: notify user-space about in-kernel line state changes
Posted by Bartosz Golaszewski 1 month, 1 week 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.

Use gpio_do_set_config() instead of gpiod_set_debounce() for configuring
debouncing via hardware from the character device code to avoid multiple
reconfigure events.

I still get errors from this when reconfiguring lines with debounce.
You should leave this notify in place and use _nonotify when setting the
direction.

That looks good - after all we no longer notify from any place in
gpiolib-cdev.c anymore - but I'd like to learn what's wrong exactly.
Are you getting more events with debounce? Are you not getting any?

In linereq_set_config(), the notify comes from the gpiod_direction_input() -
before the edge_detector_setup() is called (not visible in the patch) and that
sets the debounce value in the desc.
So you get an event without the debounce set, or with a stale value.
Keeping the gpiod_line_state_notify() and using the _nonotify()
functions means the notify comes after the debounce has been set.

Cheers,
Kent.

I prefer the more succinct form myself, and if you are working in the
