Commit Message

Dipen Patel June 25, 2021, 11:55 p.m. UTC
Some GPIO chip can provide hardware timestamp support on its GPIO lines
, in order to support that additional functions needs to be added which
can talk to both GPIO chip and HTE (hardware timestamping engine)
subsystem. This patch introduces functions which gpio consumer can use
to request hardware assisted timestamping. Below is the list of the APIs
that are added in gpiolib subsystem.

- gpiod_hw_timestamp_control - to enable/disable HTE on specified GPIO
line. This API will return HTE specific descriptor for the specified
GPIO line during the enable call, it will be stored as pointer in the
gpio_desc structure as hw_ts_data.
- gpiod_is_hw_timestamp_enabled - to query if HTE is enabled on
specified GPIO line.
- gpiod_get_hw_timestamp - to retrieve hardware timestamps.

This looks good to me.

The chip driver can look up and provide a timestamp provider for a
certain line, which is proper since the GPIO hardware will be tightly
coupled with the timestamp hardware so we need to ask the hardware
about this directly and delegate it to the GPIO driver.

Last I checked, pointer accesses are not guaranteed atomic, so how is
hdesc protected from concurrent access?
Here is it modified unprotected.
Below it is read unprotected.

Can't return an error code here.  Return value is u64, so this will look
like a valid ts.

Just return 0 on error, as you do immediately below...

The assumption I made here was, gpiod_hw_timestamp_control will be

called after client has made at least gpdio_request call. With that assumption,

how two or more client/consumers call gpiod_hw_timestamp_control API

with the same gpio_desc? I believe its not allowed as gpiod_request call will

fail for the looser if there is a race and hence there will not be any race here

in this API. Let me know your thoughts.

My assumptions are that the userspace client is multi-threaded and that
there is nothing preventing concurrent uAPI calls, including closing the
line request fd.

The specific case I had in mind is one thread closing the req fd while
another is using set_config to switch to the hardware event clock.
In that race, the close be calling linereq_free() at the same time the
linereq_set_config_unlocked() is being called.  Both of those functions
make calls to the functions here that read and write the hdesc.

There may be others, e.g. line_event_timestamp() running in the
irq_thread at the same time a set_config call switches the event clock
away from the hardware clock.

So assume concurrent access unless you can prove otherwise.

Cheers,
Kent.
