[PATCH v6] hwmon: add driver for ARCTIC Fan Controller
Posted by Aureo Serrano de Souza 7 hours ago
Add hwmon driver for the ARCTIC Fan Controller, a USB HID device
(VID 0x3904, PID 0xF001) with 10 fan channels. Exposes fan speed in
RPM (read-only) and PWM duty cycle (0-255, read/write) via sysfs.

The device pushes IN reports at ~1 Hz containing RPM readings. PWM is
set via OUT reports; the device applies the new duty cycle and sends
back a 2-byte ACK (Report ID 0x02). The driver waits up to 1 s for
the ACK using a completion. Measured device latency: max ~563 ms over
500 iterations. PWM control is manual-only: the device never changes
duty cycle autonomously.

raw_event() may run in hardirq context, so fan_rpm[] is protected by
a spinlock with irq-save. pwm_duty[] is also protected by this spinlock
because reset_resume() clears it outside the hwmon core lock. The OUT
report buffer is built and write_pending is armed under the same lock so
that no reset_resume() can race with the pwm_duty[] snapshot. priv->buf
is exclusively accessed by write(), which the hwmon core serializes.

Thanks to Guenter Roeck and Thomas Weißschuh for the reviews.

Changes since v5:
- arctic_fan_probe(): switch from devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info()
  to hwmon_device_register_with_info(); store the returned pointer in
  priv->hwmon_dev for explicit teardown in remove()
- arctic_fan_remove(): call hwmon_device_unregister(priv->hwmon_dev)
  before hid_device_io_stop/hid_hw_close/hid_hw_stop; this closes the
  use-after-free window where a concurrent sysfs write could call
  hid_hw_output_report() on an already-stopped device; matches the
  removal pattern used by nzxt-smart2 and aquacomputer_d5next
- arctic_fan_write(): expand write_pending comment to document the
  residual theoretical late-ACK race (unfixable without a correlation
  ID in the device ACK report) and its practical impossibility (observed
  max ACK latency ~563 ms, timeout 1 s; a delay > 1 s indicates a
  non-functional device)
- arctic_fan_reset_resume(), arctic_fan_read(), arctic_fan_write():
  extend in_report_lock coverage to pwm_duty[]; reset_resume() clears
  pwm_duty[] outside the hwmon core lock, so all paths that read or
  write pwm_duty[] now hold in_report_lock to prevent a data race
  during resume
- arctic_fan_write(): build the OUT report buffer inside in_report_lock
  so reset_resume() cannot clear pwm_duty[] between the pwm_duty[]
  snapshot and the buffer write; this makes the lock coverage complete

Changes since v4:
- arctic_fan_write(): switch to wait_for_completion_timeout() (non-
  interruptible); eliminates the signal-interrupted write case of the
  late-ACK race that write_pending could not fully prevent
- arctic_fan_write(): guard pwm_duty[channel] commit with
  ack_status == 0 check; a device error ACK (status 0x01) no longer
  silently poisons the cached duty used in future OUT reports
- arctic_fan_probe()/remove(): replace devm_add_action_or_reset() +
  no-op remove() with explicit hid_device_io_stop/hid_hw_close/
  hid_hw_stop in remove(); devm_add_action_or_reset() was called after
  hdev->driver = NULL, causing a NULL deref in hid_hw_close() on unbind
- add reset_resume callback: device resets PWM to hardware defaults on
  power loss during suspend; driver now clears cached pwm_duty[] on
  reset-resume so stale pre-suspend values are not re-sent as if valid
- Documentation/hwmon/arctic_fan_controller.rst: document suspend/
  resume behaviour and the updated pwm[1-10] read semantics

Changes since v3:
- buf[]: upgrade from __aligned(8) to ____cacheline_aligned so the
  DMA buffer occupies its own cache line, preventing false sharing with
  adjacent fan_rpm[]/pwm_duty[] fields on non-coherent architectures
- arctic_fan_write(): add write_pending flag (protected by
  in_report_lock) so raw_event() delivers ACKs only while a write is
  in flight
- arctic_fan_write(): commit pwm_duty[channel] only after the device
  ACKs the command; a failed or timed-out write no longer leaves a
  stale value in the cached duty state
- arctic_fan_probe(): start IO (hid_device_io_start) before registering
  with hwmon; previously a sysfs write arriving between hwmon
  registration and io_start could send an OUT report whose ACK would be
  discarded by the HID core, causing a spurious timeout
- Documentation/hwmon/arctic_fan_controller.rst: document that cached
  PWM values start at 0 (hardware state unknown at probe) and that each
  OUT report carries all 10 channel values

Changes since v2:
- buf[]: add __aligned(8) for DMA safety
- ARCTIC_ACK_TIMEOUT_MS: restore 1000 ms; note observed max ~563 ms
- arctic_fan_parse_report(): replace hwmon_lock/hwmon_unlock with
  spin_lock_irqsave; hwmon_lock() may sleep and is unsafe when
  raw_event() runs in hardirq/softirq context
- arctic_fan_raw_event(): use spin_lock_irqsave for ACK path
- arctic_fan_write(): use spin_lock_irqsave for completion reinit
- arctic_fan_write(): clamp val to [0, 255] before u8 cast
- remove priv->hwmon_dev (no longer needed)

Changes since v1:
- Use hid_dbg() instead of module_param debug flag
- Move hid_device_id table adjacent to hid_driver struct
- Use get_unaligned_le16() for RPM parsing
- Remove impossible bounds/NULL checks; remove retry loop
- Add hid_is_usb() guard
- Do not update pwm_duty from IN reports (device is manual-only)
- Add completion/ACK mechanism for OUT report acknowledgement
- Add Documentation/hwmon/arctic_fan_controller.rst and MAINTAINERS

+Kernel driver arctic_fan_controller
+=====================================
+
+Supported devices:
+
+* ARCTIC Fan Controller (USB HID, VID 0x3904, PID 0xF001)
+
+Author: Aureo Serrano de Souza <aureo.serrano@arctic.de>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver provides hwmon support for the ARCTIC Fan Controller, a USB
+Custom HID device with 10 fan channels. The device sends IN reports about
+once per second containing current RPM values (bytes 11-30, 10 x uint16 LE).
+Fan speed control is manual-only: the device does not change PWM
+autonomously; it only applies a new duty cycle when it receives an OUT
+report from the host.
+
+After the device applies an OUT report, it sends back a 2-byte ACK IN
+report (Report ID 0x02, byte 1 = 0x00 on success) confirming the command
+was applied.
+
+Usage notes
+-----------
+
+Since it is a USB device, hotplug is supported. The device is autodetected.
+
+The device does not support GET_REPORT, so the driver cannot read back the
+current hardware PWM state at probe time. The cached PWM values (readable
+via pwm[1-10]) start at 0 and reflect only values that have been
+successfully written. Because each OUT report carries all 10 channel values,
+writing a single channel also sends the cached values for all other channels.
+Users should set all channels to the desired values before relying on the
+cached state.
+
+On system suspend, the device may lose power and reset its PWM channels to
+hardware defaults. The driver clears its cached duty values on resume so
+that reads reflect the unknown hardware state rather than stale pre-suspend
+values. Userspace is responsible for re-applying the desired duty cycles
+after resume.
+
+Sysfs entries

+================ ==============================================================
+fan[1-10]_input  Fan speed in RPM (read-only). Updated from IN reports at ~1 Hz.
+pwm[1-10]        PWM duty cycle (0-255). Write: sends an OUT report setting the
+                 duty cycle (scaled from 0-255 to 0-100% for the device);
+                 the cached value is updated only after the device ACKs the
+                 command with a success status. Read: returns the last
+                 successfully written value; initialized to 0 at driver load
+                 and after resume (hardware state unknown).

Looks like the patch is corrupted.

Applying: hwmon: add driver for ARCTIC Fan Controller
error: corrupt patch at line 587
error: could not build fake ancestor
Patch failed at 0001 hwmon: add driver for ARCTIC Fan Controller

I can not figure out what is wrong, but both git and patch report that it is
corrupted. Please fix and resend.

Thanks,
Guenter
