2012-07-20HID: Allow drivers to be their own listenerDavid Herrmann
hid-picolcd and hid-wiimote do not allow any of hidinput, hiddev or hidraw to claim the device but still want to remain on the bus. Hence, if a driver uses the raw_event callback but no other listener claimed the device, we still leave it on the bus as the driver handles everything by itself. It thus becomes its own listener. Under some circumstances (eg., hidinput_connect() fails and raw_event set) a device may be left on the bus even though it requires external listeners. But then if hidinput_connect() fails there are bigger issues than a device that is left unhandled. So we can safely use this heuristic to avoid adding another flag for special devices like hid-picolcd and hid-wiimote. This also removes the ugly hack from hid-picolcd as this is no longer required.

2012-07-20HID: usbhid: fix error paths in suspendAlan Stern
This patch (as1597) fixes some of the error paths in usbhid's suspend routine. The driver was not careful to restart everything that might have been stopped, in cases where a suspend failed. For example, once the HID_SUSPENDED flag is set, an output report submission would not restart the corresponding URB queue. If a suspend fails, it's therefore necessary to check whether the queues need to be restarted.

2012-07-20HID: usbhid: check for suspend or reset before restartingAlan Stern
This patch (as1596) improves the queue-restart logic in usbhid by checking to see if the device is suspended or a reset is about to occur. There's no point submitting an URB if either of those is true. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> CC: Oliver Neukum <oliver@neukum.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2012-07-20HID: usbhid: replace HID_REPORTED_IDLE with HID_SUSPENDEDAlan Stern
This patch (as1595) improves the usbhid driver by using the HID_SUSPENDED bitflag to indicate that the device is suspended rather than using HID_REPORTED_IDLE, which the patch removes. Since HID_SUSPENDED was not being used for anything, and since the name "HID_REPORTED_IDLE" doesn't convey much meaning, the end result is easier to read and understand.

2012-07-20HID: usbhid: inline some simple routinesAlan Stern
This patch (as1594) simplifies the usbhid driver by inlining a couple of routines. As a result of an earlier patch, irq_out_pump_restart() and ctrl_pump_restart() are each used in only one place. Since they don't really do what their names say, and since they each involve only about two lines of actual code, there's no reason to keep them as separate functions.

2012-07-20HID: usbhid: fix autosuspend callsAlan Stern
This patch (as1593) fixes some logic errors in the usbhid driver relating to runtime PM. The driver does not balance its calls to usb_autopm_get_interface_async() and usb_autopm_put_interface_async(). For example, when the control queue is restarted the driver does a _get. But the resume won't happen immediately, so the driver leaves the queue stopped. When the resume does occur, the queue is restarted and a second _get occurs, with no balancing _put. The patch fixes the problem by rearranging the logic for restarting the queues. All the _get/_put calls and bitflag settings in __usbhid_submit_report() are moved into the queue-restart routines. A balancing _put call is added for the case where the queue is still suspended. A call to irq_out_pump_restart(), which doesn't take all the right actions for restarting the irq-OUT queue, is replaced by a call to usbhid_restart_out_queue(), which does. Similarly for ctrl_pump_restart(). Finally, new code is added to prevent an autosuspend from happening every time an URB is cancelled, and the comments explaining what happens when an URB needs to be cancelled are expanded and clarified.

2012-07-20HID: usbhid: fix use-after-free bugAlan Stern
This patch (as1592) fixes an obscure problem in the usbhid driver. Under some circumstances, a control or interrupt-OUT URB can be submitted twice. This will happen if the first submission fails; the queue pointers aren't updated, so the next time the queue is restarted the same URB will be submitted again. The problem is that raw_report gets deallocated during the first submission. The second submission will then dereference and try to free an already-freed region of memory. The patch fixes the problem by setting raw_report to NULL when it is deallocated and checking for NULL before dereferencing it.

2012-06-18HID: uhid: implement feature requestsDavid Herrmann
HID standard allows sending a feature request to the device which is answered by an HID report. uhid implements this by sending a UHID_FEATURE event to user-space which then must answer with UHID_FEATURE_ANSWER. If it doesn't do this in a timely manner, the request is discarded silently. We serialize the feature requests, that is, there is always only a single active feature-request sent to user-space, other requests have to wait. HIDP and USB-HID do it the same way. Because we discard feature-requests silently, we must make sure to match a response to the corresponding request. We use sequence-IDs for this so user-space must copy the ID from the request into the answer. Feature-answers are ignored if they do not contain the same ID as the currently pending feature request. Internally, we must make sure that feature-requests are synchronized with UHID_DESTROY and close() events. We must not dead-lock when closing the HID device, either, so we have to use separate locks.

2012-06-18HID: uhid: forward raw output reports to user-spaceDavid Herrmann
Some drivers that use non-standard HID features require raw output reports sent to the device. We now forward these requests directly to user-space so the transport-level driver can correctly send it to the device or handle it correspondingly. There is no way to signal back whether the transmission was successful, moreover, there might be lots of messages coming out from the driver flushing the output-queue. However, there is currently no driver that causes this so we are safe. If some drivers need to transmit lots of data this way, we need a method to synchronize this and can implement another UHID_OUTPUT_SYNC event.

2012-06-18HID: uhid: forward open/close events to user-spaceDavid Herrmann
HID core notifies us with *_open/*_close callbacks when there is an actual user of our device. We forward these to user-space so they can react on this. This allows user-space to skip I/O unless they receive an OPEN event. When they receive a CLOSE event they can stop I/O again to save energy.

This adds a new event type UHID_INPUT which allows user-space to feed raw HID reports into the HID subsystem. We copy the data into kernel memory and directly feed it into the HID core.

2012-06-18HID: uhid: add UHID_CREATE and UHID_DESTROY eventsDavid Herrmann
UHID_CREATE and UHID_DESTROY are used to create and destroy a device on an open uhid char-device. Internally, we allocate and register an HID device with the HID core and immediately start the device. From now on events may be received or sent to the device. The UHID_CREATE event has a payload similar to the data used by Bluetooth-HIDP when creating a new connection.

2012-06-18HID: uhid: implement write() on uhid devicesDavid Herrmann
Similar to read() you can only write() a single event with one call to an uhid device. To write multiple events use writev() which is supported by uhid.

2012-06-18HID: uhid: implement read() on uhid devicesDavid Herrmann
User-space can use read() to get a single event from uhid devices. read() does never return multiple events. This allows us to extend the event structure and still keep backwards compatibility. If user-space wants to get multiple events in one syscall, they should use the readv()/writev() syscalls which are supported by uhid. This introduces a new lock which helps us synchronizing simultaneous reads from user-space. We also correctly return -EINVAL/-EFAULT only on errors and retry the read() when some other thread captured the event faster than we did.

2012-06-18HID: uhid: allow poll()'ing on uhid devicesDavid Herrmann
As long as the internal buffer is not empty, we return POLLIN to user-space. uhid->head and uhid->tail are no atomics so the comparison may return inexact results. However, this doesn't matter here as user-space would need to poll() in two threads simultaneously to trigger this. And in this case it doesn't matter if a cached result is returned or the exact new result as user-space does not know which thread returns first from poll() and the following read(). So it is safe to compare the values without locking. Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2012-06-18HID: uhid: add internal message bufferDavid Herrmann
When receiving messages from the HID subsystem, we need to process them and store them in an internal buffer so user-space can read() on the char device to retrieve the messages. This adds a static buffer for 32 messages to each uhid device. Each message is dynamically allocated so the uhid_device structure does not get too big. uhid_queue() adds a message to the buffer. If the buffer is full, the message is discarded. uhid_queue_event() is an helper for messages without payload. This also adds a public header: uhid.h. It contains the declarations for the user-space API. It is built around "struct uhid_event" which contains a type field which specifies the event type and each event can then add a variable-length payload. For now, there is only a dummy event but later patches will add new event types and payloads. Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
