[linux-dvb] [PATCH] Support faulty USB IDs on DIBUSB_MC

[matthieu castet]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 344 bytes --]

Hi,

I got a LITE-ON USB2.0 DVB-T Tuner that loose it's cold state vid/pid 
and got  FX2 dev kit one (0x04b4, 0x8613).

This patch introduce an option similar to the DVB_USB_DIBUSB_MB_FAULTY :
it add the FX2 dev kit ids to the DIBUSB_MC driver if 
DVB_USB_DIBUSB_MC_FAULTY is selected.

It doesn't sound a very good approach the need of recompiling the driver to
allow it to work with a broken card. The better would be to have some modprobe
option to force it to accept a certain USB ID as a valid ID for the card.

The above is really ugly. IMO, we should replace this by
ARRAY_SIZE(dibusb_mc_properties.devices). Of course, for this to work,
num_device_descs should be bellow devices.

Hi,

sorry for not answering ealier, recently I became the master of 
postponing things. :(

The most correct way would be to reprogram the eeprom, by simply writing 
to 0xa0 (0x50 << 1) I2C address... There was a thread on the linux-dvb some 
time ago.

We could do that, still I'm not sure if ARRAY_SIZE will work in that 
situation?! Are you 
sure, Mauro?

Yes. Yet, it might be interesting to have some option to allow forcing.

Well, at least here, it is compiling fine. I can't really test it, since I
don't have any dib0700 devices here.

Hmm, your patch is shifting the counting problem to another place. Instead 
of counting manually the devices-array-elements, one now needs to count 
the number of device_properties ;) .

With such a patch we would risk to break some device support and as I 
never saw a patch which broke the current num_device_descs-manual-count I 
don't see the need to change.

Nothing is perfect ;)

I suspect that you have more additions at the number of the devices than on the
number of device properties. So, the risk of doing bad things seems lower.
Also, a simple board addition won't need to touch at the number of devices.

IMO, it is really bad to have to explicitly say the number of devices at those
arrays. Maybe we may use some macro logic here to avoid such risks, or use a
NULL terminated list instead.

Why not, I only don't want to maintain a patch for my device.

I wonder why didn't they use WP pin of the eeprom to avoid write.

Do you know what should be written.
After a quick search, I found [1]. Is that ok ?

BTW dibusb_i2c_xfer seems to do things very dangerous :
it assumes that it get only write/read request or write request.

That means that read can be understood as write. For example a program 
doing
file = open("/dev/i2c-x", O_RDWR);
ioctl(file, I2C_SLAVE, 0x50)
  read(file, data, 10)
will corrupt the eeprom as it will be understood as a write.

Now that I think of that, I run sensors-detect on this machine, may be 
this is what trash the eeprom ?

The assumption that you can only have write/read or write requests is
one of the big things fixed in the 1.20 firmware.  If you are running
the 1.20 firmware, you just need to add the option to use the new i2c
function instead of the legacy i2c transfer function.

Regarding the patch itself, it looks ok at face value, but I would
rather see it scream loudly that you're trying to do this rather just
silently not performing the read.  This would help catch cases where
the calling driver is doing something the i2c implementation doesn't
support (so that the developer knows to either change his i2c code or
use the 1.20 version of the function).

I'm just speaking as a developer who got bit by this making the
dib0700 work with the xc5000, where I didn't realize the xc5000 driver
was doing something that the dib0700 i2c didn't support and it failed
silently.

Unfortunamty this is for dib0700 and not dib3000.
dib3000 doesn't got new firmware/i2c API.

But the same patch should be done for dib0700_i2c_xfer_legacy...

Wow, I totally overlooked that your patch was against dibusb-common.c
instead of dib0700_core.c.  Yes, you are correct then.  However I
would still suggest sending an error to the console and returning
failure rather than just silently dropping the i2c read request.

[PATCH] DIBUSB_MC : fix i2c to not corrupt eeprom in case of strange read pattern

[matthieu castet]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 458 bytes --]

Hi,


dibusb_i2c_xfer seems to do things very dangerous :
it assumes that it get only write/read request or write request.

That means that read can be understood as write. For example a program
doing
file = open("/dev/i2c-x", O_RDWR);
ioctl(file, I2C_SLAVE, 0x50)
read(file, data, 10)
will corrupt the eeprom as it will be understood as a write.

I attach a possible (untested) patch.

thanks a lot for your patch. I applied it, but could not test. But even 
it is breaks things, it's better to prevent those "false-reads" than not 
having this protection. Any breakage we will fix later.
