[RFC] change the new message to provide for memory allocations

[RFC] change the new message to provide for memory allocations

[Oliver Neukum]

Control messages have to work in situtaions where you need to
use GFP_NOIO. Hence wrappers for them that allocate memory must have
an API that allows for that.

[RFC 01/14] Revert "USB: core: hub.c: use usb_control_msg_send() in a few places"

[Oliver Neukum]

This reverts commit d6a499249543356002a1efbb26254c7272e62f4c.
Control messages are needed in contexts when memory allocations
are restricted, such as handling device resets and runtime PM.

For this reason the control message API internally uses GFP_NOIO.
This is a band aid introduced because when we recognized the issue,
the call chains were highly convoluted. Continuing this trend
is not a good idea.

So I am shooting the whole kennel here.

[RFC 09/14] sound: usx2y: move to use usb_control_msg_send()

[Oliver Neukum]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

The usb_control_msg_send() call can handle data on the stack, as well as
returning an error if a "short" write happens, so move the driver over
to using that call instead.  This ends up removing a helper function
that is no longer needed.

The usb_control_msg_send() and usb_control_msg_recv() calls can return
an error if a "short" write/read happens, so move the driver over to
using those calls instead, saving some logic in the wrapper functions
that were being used in this driver.

This also resolves a long-staging bug where data on the stack was being

The usb_control_msg_recv() function can handle data on the stack, as
well as properly detecting short reads, so move to use that function
instead of the older usb_control_msg() call.  This ends up removing a
lot of extra lines in the driver.

[RFC 13/14] sound: hiface: move to use usb_control_msg_send()

[Oliver Neukum]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

The usb_control_msg_send() call can return an error if a "short" write
happens, so move the driver over to using that call instead.

[RFC 14/14] Bluetooth: ath3k: use usb_control_msg_send() and usb_control_msg_recv()

[Oliver Neukum]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

The usb_control_msg_send() and usb_control_msg_recv() calls can return
an error if a "short" write/read happens, and they can handle data off
of the stack, so move the driver over to using those calls instead,
saving some logic when dynamically allocating memory.

So you unwind my mess and then fix it back up, nice, no objections from

You sent this as "RFC", but it seems sane, want me to take this as-is or
do you want to wait to send a "real" set of patches?

Hi,

this is a fairly fundamental API. If we overlooked something the first
time I would hate to see it happen twice. Are you in a hurry?

This change actually fixes a number of problems where the driver never
was checking for "short reads" and so could have had "bad" data used by
the driver.

At the least you should mention that in the changelog :)

Just call set_registers() above instead of "open coding" this?

[PATCH 0/2] [patch v2] utilize the new control message send and receive API

[Petko Manolov]

From: Petko Manolov <petko.manolov@konsulko.com>

As discussed at the linux-usb this patch series is moving from old style
usb_control_msg() to the new API.  For obvious reasons we don't want to open
code usb_control_msg_send() and usb_control_msg_recv() functions.

Petko Manolov (2):
  Convert Pegasus' control messages to the new
    usb_control_msg_send/recv() scheme.
  Convert RTL8150's control messages to the new
    usb_control_msg_send/recv() scheme.

This says _what_ the patch does, but we can see that from the diff.  You
should describe _why_ we are doing what we are doing, so that everyone
understands the need for the change.

Also, can you add something like:
	This fixes a number of issues where short reads were not
	properly handled by the driver.

Take a look at "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file,
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for a description of how to write good
changelogs that we can understand 5 years in the future when we have to
look back at the files.

Again, why isn't set_register() now rewritten to just be:

static int set_register(pegasus_t *pegasus, __u16 indx, __u8 data)
{
	return set_registers(pegasus, indx, 1, data);
}

Much easier to show that it's all converted properly :)

Didn't want to parrot the reason for usb_control_msg_send/recv() existence, but 
i guess you're right.  5 years from now i would not remember anything. :)

There's a catch - adm8511-based devices can only write to a single register via 
specific control request.  This request expects the register number in wIndex 
and the value in wValue.  A bit of a brain fart which is fixed in adm8515.

Admittedly, I could open code set_register() and avoid a kmemdup() call since in 
this case 'data' is going to be NULL.  However, set_register() isn't heavily 
used, except for the setup phase, so i went for the prettier/simpler approach.  
Which reminds me that i should put a comment explaining why is that.

[PATCH v3 0/2] Use the new usb control message API.

[Petko Manolov]

From: Petko Manolov <petko.manolov@konsulko.com>

Open coding, ccasional improper error handling by the caller of
usb_control_msg() and not flagging partial read as an error requires a new API
that takes care of these issues.  It took the form of
usb_control_msg_send/recv() and this patch series is converting Pegasus and
RTL8150 drivers to using the proper calls.

Petko Manolov (2):
  net: pegasus: Use the new usb control message API.
  net: rtl8150: Use the new usb control message API.

From: Petko Manolov <petko.manolov@konsulko.com>

The old usb_control_msg() let the caller handle the error and also did not

Added small note about why set_registers() can't be used to substitute
set_register().

Normally drivers/net/ stuff gets sent to the netdev mailing list.

I don't want to take patches that those maintainers/developers have not
seen and acked yet, so can you resend this series and also cc: them?

[PATCH RESEND v3 2/2] net: rtl8150: Use the new usb control message API.

[Petko Manolov]

The old usb_control_msg() let the caller handle the error and also did not
account for partial reads.  Since these are now considered harmful, move the
driver over to usb_control_msg_recv/send() calls.

The changes are entirely in the USB land and thus unrelated to the networking 
part of the driver.  However, getting their ack is perhaps the right thing to do 
so i just followed your advice. :)

I can't apply these since the helpers do not exist in the
networking tree.

Right, Greg was only asking for ack (or nack) from your side.
