Subject: [PATCH v6 8/9] HID: steelseries: Add async status interface support
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 23:23:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709032316.1908460-9-68172138+srimanachanta@users.noreply.github.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709032316.1908460-1-68172138+srimanachanta@users.noreply.github.com>
From: Sriman Achanta <srimanachanta@gmail.com>
Some headsets expose a second HID interface that sends battery and
connection updates on its own. Watching that interface lets the driver
stop polling the sync interface. Add a
steelseries_device_info::async_interface field and the code to handle
it:
- The driver binds both the sync and async interfaces. The async
interface shares the steelseries_device created by the sync
interface. It finds the sibling with usb_ifnum_to_if(), and before
trusting its intfdata it rejects non-HID siblings by descriptor
class and holds the sibling's device lock across the lookup, so a
crafted device cannot cause a type-confused read and a concurrent
unbind cannot free the hid_device from under it. It then takes a
reference and returns -EPROBE_DEFER until the sync interface has
probed. If the sync interface never binds, the async interface
defers forever, which is fine here.
- raw_event() now holds sd->lock and re-checks sd->removed so events
on either interface are serialised against removal.
- status_work runs once for async devices instead of rearming. A
single status request is sent when the headset connects to get the
initial battery level.
No device sets async_interface yet. This is the infrastructure for the
next commit.
