[RFC][PATCH v2 0/1] design a way to change audio Jack state by software

[Hui Wang]

the changes in the V2:
 - using debugfs instead of sysfs
 - using jack_ctrl to create a folder instead of snd_jack, since ASoC drivers
   could create multi jack_ctrls within a snd_jack
 - create a folder for each jack_ctrl instead for all jack_ctrls

This is the layout of folder on a machine with 2 sound cards:
root@hwang4-ThinkPad-P1-Gen-3:/sys/kernel/debug# tree /sys/kernel/debug/sound-core/

The sw_inject_enable has rw mode, the jackin_inject has write_only mode.

If users want to inject a plugin to Headphone Jack, they could run:
echo 1 > 'Headphone Jack'/sw_inject_enable  /* now, this jack state can't be changed by hw events */
cat 'Headphone Jack'/sw_inject_enable
ack: Headphone Jack		Inject Enabled: 1
echo 1 > 'Headphone Jack'/jackin_inject /* this will inject a plugin to Headphone Jack */

After testing, run
echo 0 > 'Headphone Jack'/sw_inject_enable /* the hw events will change the jack state */

[RFC][PATCH v2 1/1] alsa: jack: implement software jack injection via debugfs

[Hui Wang]

We want to perform remote audio auto test, need the audio jack to
change from plugout to plugin or vice versa by software ways.

Here the design is creating a sound-core root folder in the debugfs
dir, and each sound card will create a folder cardN under sound-core,
then the sound jack will create folders by jack_ctrl->ctrl->id.name,
and will create 2 file nodes jackin_inject and sw_inject_enable in
the folder, this is the layout of folder on a machine with 2 sound
cards:
$tree $debugfs_mount_dir/sound-core
sound-core/

    └── Mic Jack
        ├── jackin_inject
        └── sw_inject_enable

Suppose users want to enable jack injection for Headphone, they need
to run $sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > 'Headphone Jack'/sw_inject_enable', then
users could change the Headphone Jack state through jackin_inject and
this Jack's state will not be changed by non-injection ways anymore
until users echo 0 to sw_inject_enable.

Users could run $sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > 'Headphone Jack'/jackin_inject'
to trigger the Headphone jack to plugin or echo 0 to trigger it to
plugout.

If users finish their test, they could run
$sudo sh -c 'echo 0 > 'Headphone Jack'/sw_inject_enable' to disable
injection and let non-injection ways control this Jack.

[Kai Vehmanen]

Hey,

I gave a quick test spin and features seems to work as advertized. A few 
minor comments on the code. If Jaroslav you think this would be ok as an 
approach, I can give a more extensive test run on this.

this combination of "!,= " characters in filenames is a bit non-unixy, 
but maybe in 2020 we are ready for this.

I'm wondering if it would be worth the code duplication to have the 
inject-variant of this code in a separate function. I find the above code 
to set up "mask_bits" a bit hard to read and this adds a layer of 
complexity to anyone just wanting to look at the regular jack report code 
path.

Here it's a bit annoying that after you disable sw_inject, the kcontrol
values are not restored to reflrect actual hw state (until there are 
new jack events from hw). User-space cannot completely handle the 
save'n'restore as it cannot detect if real hw jack status changed 
during the sw-inject test. OTOH, this would require caching the most 
recent value and maybe not worth the effort.

This goes over 100-column limit and triggers a checkpatch complaint.

The tree representation looks better than the previous one, IMO.
The exact contents would need more brush up, though; e.g. the content
of each jack could be shown in a debugfs node as well as the
injection.  Or the type and the mask-to-be-injected can be shown
there, too.

Yes, that's my impression, too.  The logic is hard to follow.

Right, but I guess this can be ignored.

Or, as I mentioned in the above, we may expose the current value in
each node instead, and writing a value to this node is treated as
injection.  Then the rest requirement is rather masking from the
hardware update.

OK, got it, will add more nodes for a jack, the nodes will bring more 
info of the jack to the userspace.

I think it is really complicated,  That is my design:

  - If a jack_ctrl's sw_inject is enabled,  the jack_report will only 
report status from injection (block hw events), if it is disabled,  the 
jack_report will only report status from hw events (block injection). 
That is why I have to add a parameter from_inject

  - A snd_jack could contain multi jack_ctrls, the 
snd_jack_report(status) is based on snd_jack instead of jack_ctrls, but 
sw_inject_enable is based on jack_ctrls instead of snd_jack. Suppose a 
snd_jack has 2 jack_ctrls A and B, A's sw_inject is enabled. Suppose 
Jack of A triggers a hw events and snd_jack_report() is called, the 
status should be blocked since A's sw_inject is enabled,  also the 
input_dev's event of this jack_ctrl should be blocked too, I added 
mask_bits |= jack_kctl->mask_bits just for blocking the input-dev's report.

So far, I could not design a cleaner and simpler function to implement 
the idea above.

Also, I could add a hw_status_cache in the snd_jack_kctl{}, and use it 
to implement save-and-restore for the jack's state.

OK, will try to remove those characters.

Got it, will fix it.
