[PATCH v4 00/18] staging: r8188eu: Shorten and simplify calls chain

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

io_ops abstraction is useless in this driver, since there is only one ops
registration. Without io_ops we can get rid of indirect calls mess and
shorten the calls chain.

Shorten the calls chain of rtw_read8/16/32() down to the actual reads.
For this purpose unify the three usb_read8/16/32 into the new
usb_read(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_read() and use in it the new
usb_control_msg_recv() API of USB Core.

Shorten the calls chain of rtw_write8/16/32() down to the actual writes.
For this purpose unify the four usb_write8/16/32/N() into the new
usb_write(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_write() and use in it the new
usb_control_msg_send() API of USB Core.

The code with the modifications was thoroughly tested by Pavel Skripkin
using a TP-Link TL-WN722N v2 / v3 [Realtek RTL8188EUS] and by Fabio M.
De Francesco using a ASUSTek Computer, Inc. Realtek 8188EUS [USB-N10 Nano].

[PATCH v4 02/18] staging: r8188eu: remove the helpers of rtw_read8()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

Remove the unnecessary _rtw_read8() and usb_read8() and embed their
code into the caller (i.e., rtw_read8()).

_rtw_read8() is a mere redefinition of rtw_read8() and it is unneeded.
usb_read8() was the only functions assigned to (*_usb_read8) pointer,
so we can simply remove it and make a direct call.

This patch is in preparation for the _io_ops structure removal.

[PATCH v4 05/18] staging: r8188eu: remove the helpers of usb_write8

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

Remove the unnecessary _rtw_write8() and usb_write8() and embed their
code into the caller (i.e., rtw_write8()).

_rtw_write8() is a mere redefinition of rtw_write8() and it is unneeded.
usb_write8() was the only functions assigned to the (*_usb_write8) pointer,
so we can simply remove it and make a direct call.

This patch is in preparation for the _io_ops structure removal.

[PATCH v4 09/18] staging: r8188eu: remove the helpers of rtw_read_port()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

Remove the unnecessary _rtw_read_port() and usb_read_port() and embed their
code into the caller (i.e., rtw_read_port()).

_rtw_read_port() is a mere redefinition of rtw_read_port() and it is
unneeded. usb_read_port() was the only functions assigned to the
(*_usb_read_port) pointer, so we can simply remove it and make a direct
call.

This patch is in preparation for the _io_ops structure removal.

[PATCH v4 12/18] staging: r8188eu: remove the helpers of rtw_write_port_cancel()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

Remove the unnecessary _rtw_write_port_cancel() and usb_write_port_cancel()
and embed their code into the caller (i.e., rtw_write_port_cancel()).

_rtw_write_port_cancel() is a mere redefinition of rtw_write_port_cancel()
and it is unneeded. usb_write_port_cancel() was the only functions
assigned to the (*_usb_write_port_cancel) pointer, so we can simply remove
it and make a direct call.

This patch is in preparation for the _io_ops structure removal.

[PATCH v4 13/18] staging: r8188eu: remove core/rtw_io.c

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

There are only unused functions and macros and one function which can be
open-coded.

So, remove core/rtw_io.c at all, remove core/rtw_io.c from Makefile
and open-code rtw_init_io_priv() in rtw_usb_if1_init().

[PATCH v4 15/18] staging: r8188eu: hal: Clean up usbctrl_vendorreq()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

Clean up usbctrl_vendorreq () in usb_ops_linux.c because some
of its code will be reused in this series. This cleanup is in
preparation for shortening the call chains of rtw_read{8,16,32}()
and rtw_write{8,16,32,N}(). More insights about the reasons why at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/5319192.FrU0QrjFp7@localhost.localdomain/

This commit message is quite bad.

This patch has nothing to do with reusing the code or shortening call
chains.

Don't use a link like that in the commit message especially when it's a
link to an email you wrote.  If it's someone else's email you can say,
somethink like "As <name> points out in <his/her> email <url>.  Blah
blah blah."  That way you give credit to the other person but all the
information is in the commit message.

A better commit message would be:

    Clean up usbctrl_vendorreq().

    1) Remove impossible NULL check.
    2) Rename variables:
        pintfhdl => intfhdl
        pdata => data
        pIo_buf => io_buf
    3) Edit the comments.

I don't understand why you moved these from the top to the bottom.
But the original was better.  In networking code declarations are
normally written in Reverse Christmas Tree format, longest to shortest,
like this:

	long long long_name;
	medium name;
	u8 short;

Use {} curly braces around multi-line indents.  But in this case the
comments are worthless.  Just delete them.

It has to do, in a certain sense. Let me explain please...

Some days ago, David Laight made the review of "Shorten calls chain of 
rtw_write8/16/32/n()" version 3. 

In that patch he noticed some lines of usb_read() that I had created with the 
help of reusing some lines of the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() that is deleted 
in the same patch. 

He thought that they were clean-ups and renames and so he suggested to make 
those "clean-ups" in a separate patch.

However they were _not_ renames or other clean-ups, because usb_read() was 
not touched in that patch and, above all, it was a new function. 

I am sure that when I write new functions I can use whatever name of 
variables I like, even if people may think I'm renaming the variables that 
were in a old function that now is deleted. Am I not permitted?

However, because I also think that readability of the diffs matters, I 
decided to do some clean-up of the code I'm about to reuse in the new 
functions. It improves readability of the above-mentioned patch that is also 
the 18/18 of this series.

That is the reason why I'm cleaning up a function that is going to be deleted 
in the last patch of the series.

I agree with you. I'll redo the commit message for in order to summarize in 
few lines why I'm doing clean-ups of functions that must be deleted in 18/18.
The same for 16/18. I think that a short explanation like the one that I gave 
you above should suffice (much shorter, obviously).

I hope that I've been clear now. Please let me know if you have more 
suggestions about this patch and the next (16/18).

Regards,

Fabio

I guess I can see that all this stuff is related in your mind, but next
time please leave it out.  Keep the commit messages as simple to
understand as possible.

Just say you are cleaning up the function.  That's a simple motivation.
A good motivation.

Dear Dan,

I'm sorry that I forgot to thank you for the reviews in the other messages I 
sent in reply. :(

I also forgot to answer to the above question...

I changed the order of the declarations because David Laight wrote "I think 
you'll need 'reverse xmas tree' ordering as well." (copy-paste from his 
message).

As far as I know you are both experienced kernel developers, so I took his 
words for truth. Is it a matter of personal taste or Reverse/Non Reverse Xmas 
Trees are strictly required by the Linux kernel coding style guidelines?

I thank you very much for the time you spent for reviewing.

Regards,

Fabio

David and I are saying the same thing.  "Reverse Christmas Tree" vs
"reverse xmas tree".  It's like an upside down pine tree.

Oh, sorry. I interpreted David's message the other way because it seemed to 
me that the code already had this RXT style (with the only exception of the 
"wvalue" variable that now is gone forever). Now I see that I got it wrong 
and that something got lost in translation.

Thank you again,

[PATCH v4 16/18] staging: r8188eu: hal: Clean up rtw_read*() and rtw_write*()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

Clean up rtw_read{8,16,32}() and rtw_write{8,16,32,N}() in usb_ops_linux.c
because some of their code will be reused in the following two patches of
this series. This cleanup is in preparation for shortening the call chains
of rtw_read{8,16,32}() and rtw_write{8,16,32,N}().

You really don't need the (u16) cast or the '& 0xffff'.
The assignment will just truncate.

But do you even need to truncate the value at all?
It rather depends on what happens inside usbctrl_vendorreq()
and whether the parameter to this code is already constrained.

I think modern gcc are better, but I have seen code where
the '& 0xffff' masked the value, then the (u16) masked the
value and finally the low 16 bits were written into a structure.

(Oh the other patches are now readable - a lot of junk down the pan.)

[PATCH v4 17/18] staging: r8188eu: Shorten calls chain of rtw_read8/16/32()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

Shorten the calls chain of rtw_read8/16/32() down to the actual reads.
For this purpose unify the three usb_read8/16/32 into the new
usb_read(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_read() and use in it the new
usb_control_msg_recv() API of USB Core.

Hi, maintainers and reviewers!

We have just noticed, that 17 and 18 patches in this series contain 
logic error, so, please, don't waste time reviewing them.

v5 will be posted soon :)

It's always better to do error handling instead of success handling.

	if (status) {

Remove the comment because now it's in the standard format.

Yes, you're right again. I blindly followed the style that was in the parts 
of the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() that I'm reusing here.

OK, those comments are not necessary: I'll remove them.

This is a stupid mistake and Pavel soon noticed it. Yesterday I sent a 
message to ask reviewers for disregarding v4 and wait for v5 with the fix of 
this test. :(

However, I noticed that usb_control_msg_recv() might return in "status" some 
recoverable errors (like -ENOMEM and others); so I guess that the code must 
retry in a while loop (exactly as it did with usb_control_msg() in 
usbctrl_vendorreq()). 

Actually I'm not 100% sure that the "while" loop is needed. What I know is 
that I've been using this version (with _no_ loop) for about a week, not less 
than 12 hours a day and I didn't notice any problem...

Can you please tell if a loop for retries is *really* necessary?

Yes, it must be fixed.

There wasn't enough information in the email to know what issue you had
seen.  I had already started reviewing it when I saw the email.

I would not add a while loop unless testing shows it is required.

[PATCH v4 18/18] staging: r8188eu: Shorten calls chain of rtw_write8/16/32/N()

Shorten the calls chain of rtw_write8/16/32() down to the actual writes.
For this purpose unify the four usb_write8/16/32/N() into the new
usb_write(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_write() and use in it the new

Hi all,

Please disregard this series. I've made a mistake, so tomorrow I'll send v5.

Pavel Skripkin made me notice a logical error where the code checks errors in 
17/18 and 18/18. So, two lines must be rewritten.

Thanks,

Fabio
