[PATCH] RFKILL: fix input layer initialisation

[PATCH] RFKILL: fix input layer initialisation

[Dmitry Baryshkov]

Initialise correctly last fields, so tasks can be actually executed.
On some architectures the initial jiffies value is not zero, so later
all rfkill incorrectly decides that rfkill_*.last is in future.

I believe Dmitry Torokhov recently moved the rfkill structures for wlan, bt, etc
into an array which allowed for easy looping through all structures. That would
make updating all entries easier (and less prone to errors when a new structure
is added).

Could you rebase thise patch on top of that one?
Thanks,

Ivo

This is not needed for wireless-testing's rfkill-input.

It is needed on 2.6.28, since AFAIK the stuff in wireless-testing is not
going to be sent for 2.6.28.

A similar patch to this was sent not a month ago, I think.  One of the two
needs to be merged for 2.6.28.

[PATCH] RFKILL: fix input layer initialisation

[Dmitry Baryshkov]

Initialise correctly last fields, so tasks can be actually executed

Also move rfkill-input initialisation to subsys level so that it's
available before generic drivers probing occurs.

I'm not really fan of this approach
Can't this not be done someway in the DEFINE_RFKILL_TASK macro
where the entire structure is initialized?
That way it will automatically be set for all new rfkill task structures later.

IMHO it can't. the jiffies - mset_to_jiffies isn't a constant
initialiser; gcc won't permit such a thing

True, but can't we make it a function then? rfkill_init_task() or something.
If we group the initialization steps as closely together as possible it will
make it easier to add new tasks later.

Rfkill-input is an implementation of default policy of handling
wifi-related key presses, it is not mandatory and should not be
required for a driver to operate, it may even not be present in the
kernel and therefore module_init is the appropriate time for its
initialization. We don't expect user to start pushing WIFI buttons
while system just starting to boot up, do we?

I do toggle the KEY_BLUETOOTH from the kernel driver early.
The preliminary patch can be found at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/43136

The idea was to drive the bluetooth chip attached to the UART from the
uart pm hook.

Is there an actual button there? If not you should not create input
device. You probably need to talk to Henrique (CCed) about how
properly integrate rfkill support.

I'd be glad to help.  Torokhov got me in the loop because of an ongoing
rfkill enhancement and documentation enfort I am pushing for, that is being
fleshed out in linux-wireless.

Please describe to me *what* your driver needs to do.  As Torokhov said, it
is very weird that it would need rfkill-input for anything.  I know of no
valid use case to issue KEY_* input events except if you are a driver for
something that has a button/key that was pressed (i.e. a driver for an input
device)... and rfkill-input doesn't matter at all for these.

If your driver is issuing KEY_BLUETOOTH to sync state, that's a layering
violation, and lot allowed.  I may be able to help you fix it through the
patches being reviewed in linux-wireless.

If it is something else, I will try to help, but I need to understand the
details of what your driver is trying to accomplish, first.

Yes, probably that's the correct description :)
The driver is tracking the state of serial port and respectievly
powering the bt chip
up or down. I'll check the linux-wireless list.
