I need this. Is anybody working on it? If nobody is, I step forward.

What about a tiny bttv sub-driver in its own tiny module?

The sub-driver would be configurable card-by-card, so that those using
gpio ports for their remote controls would keep them hidden to gpiolib.

How instead could all these gpios communicate to user-space?

cheers,
Domenico

Something respecting these conditions clearly conflicts with bttv
and looks like your bt8xxgpio driver. Indeed I do not see the need of
dropping it.

Currently my patch requires the bttv functionality, since it is done
to work toghether with bttv. Surely one must be able to use bttv only,
without gpiolib.

The definition of bttv_gpiolib_card[] in bttv-gpiolib.c stinks, it's aim
is to easily allow people to add their favourite card gpio configuration,
but I am pretty sure its initialization is completely wrong. Please
give me some suggestion.

cheers,
Domenico


This patch adds the gpiolib bttv sub-driver.

Every bttv card may define a set of available gpio ports which are
registered to gpiolib and then made available through kernel's generic
gpio interface.

Here the module is going to free device structure. Ignoring the error
looks even more dangerous to me. I need to see if scheduling while
unloading a module is allowed.

This is copied stuff from bt8xxgpio and dvb-bt8xx ;)

gpiolib will inc the use count of the bttvgpio module when a gpio is
requested, so the module shouldn't unload while a gpio is requested.  The
only reason gpiochip_remove() should fail is if a gpio is still requested.
So it shouldn't happen that gpiochip_remove will fail when the module is
unloaded.  Unless the module unload is forced, but in that case the right
thing to do is unload and let the gpiochip_remove() fail instead of
hanging.

There is an issue if the bt8x8 device is hot-unplugged while it's in use.
I doubt the bttv driver handles this very well.

I'm pretty sure it is allowed.  The problem is that unless something
un-requests the gpio in use, the module unload will hang in the kernel for
ever.  If someone does rmmod -f, don't turn it into a un-killable rmmod -w.
If they wanted rmmod -w, they would have done it.

David is wrong here.  The bttv driver has a huge card database and it
shouldn't be bloated.  These fields are typically used only once when the
card loads are the code generated is perfectly ok.  But, you must put the
new field with the other bit fields to avoid increasing the size of the
structure.  You should measure the module size with objdump before and
after and see how much bloat you added.

If someone mods their card to use the gpio lines the driver still won't
drive it unless they change it in the card database.  It would be nicer if
there was a module option to export the gpios.  That could also be useful
for figuring out how the gpios are used for things like sound routing,
mute, radio mode, and so on.  I've been using the v4l2 debug register
interface for this, but the sysfs would be another way.

BTW David, V4L2 has an ioctl() that allows one to set the bttv gpios even
if the driver is using them, and it's never caused any complaints.  I fail
see what is different about modifying the same gpios through sysfs that
makes it so dangerous it can't be allowed.

I am facing another atipical scenario (I am writing the initialization
of bttv gpiolib sub-driver).

Say that a given card has 4 relays attached to its GPIOs. Only the
card's driver may know about these relays and only the driver should
be able to set those GPIO directions. Moreover, driver should prevent
direction change for them, which are intended for output only.

While I figure out how to prevent user direction tampering, how about
making gpiolib know which are the initial directions?

cheers,
Domenico

I already tried it, very nifty. I used it to show my driver is working,
I could hear the relays and see the tester.. yuk!

Anyway I was too free to play with GPIOs, I would like to be able to
set limits at driver level. i.e. relay GPIOs should be output only and
no one, being another driver or user-space, should be able to change
their direction.

While I am able to enforce direction policy, I am not able to setup the
initial direction. Indeed it is set by gpiolib basing on the presence
of chip.direction_input.

cheers,
Domenico


This patch adds the gpiolib bttv sub-driver.

gpiolib does not allow holes in the number space of gpios. once you
set chip.ngpio, you get a contiguous slice.

should the board have some of its gpio connected to something private,
they are not to be exported to gpiolib and to the user.

indeed once, as a user, I know to have a board which has n inputs and
m output and z in/out, that's all, I do not want to know how many GPIOs
actually are on the board and how are connected.

nr_to_mask() hides those holes to the user, it maps a pin iff it is
available for gpiolib fiddling.

thanks,
Domenico

hmm.. I had completely missed the point of your previous message. so
there is no space for hybrids like mine, gpiolib is an all-or-nothing
solution.

why a tvcard driver should use generic gpio to wrap its own registers
which already knows very well? it does not make sense to me. as I
intended it, to export available gpios (= not used for its inner
workings) to a generic layer, it really gives me some advantages.
i.e. I could user sysfs to immediately test things.

I am not criticizing the gpiolib design, it's only different from what
I initially imagined and does not completely fit my needs. probably I
should give up with gpiolib and use V4L2's controls, surely losing any
IRQ ability.

all I want from the tvcard's driver is "here is the video device, the dvb
device, the xyz device and there are also some GPIOs for your pleasure".
this does not sound like "there are 8 GPIOs but you can't use 3, 4 and
5". as a user, I do no care of GPIOs I cannot use.

I do not see gpiolib fit this at all without any glue.

thanks,
Domenico

yes, of course. it was never meant to be definitive, all the patch was
a prototype. thanks for the support.
