When the topology of the nested hubs are over 6 layers
Send uevent to user space when USB TOPO layer over 6.
Let end user more understand what happened.

Where have you now documented this odd uevent that is never sent by
anything else?
What tool will "catch" this? Where is that code located at?
uevents are not for stuff like this, you are trying to send "error
conditions" to userspace, please use the "proper" interfaces like this
and not abuse existing ones.

You just created a whole new sysfs class with no Documentation/ABI/
update?
{sigh}

Wait, how did you even test this code? This will not work if you have
more than one hub in the system at a single time, right?
That's going to be really rough, given here's the output of just my
desktop system, count the number of hubs in it:rdevmgmt.msc

So, proof that this works? How did you test this?
Also, you have a memory leak in this submission :(

Hi , Greg
What tool will "catch" this? Where is that code located at?
=> I prepare merge the code to Android phone , so I used Android HLOS
to catch this uevent.
uevents are not for stuff like this, you are trying to send "error
conditions" to userspace, please use the "proper" interfaces like this
and not abuse existing ones.
=> Sorry , I am not sure what is the "proper" interfaces your mean.
Could you please give me more description?
You just created a whole new sysfs class with no Documentation/ABI/
update?
=> Yes, I will add it.
Wait, how did you even test this code? This will not work if you have
more than one hub in the system at a single time, right?
=> I build the test build which flash in Android phone and connect
several hubs to try it.
When the new hub which met MAX_TOPO_LEVEL connected , it sent
notify to user space.
Phone ------↓
hub ------↓
hub ------↓
...------↓
hub
if (hdev->level == MAX_TOPO_LEVEL) {
dev_err(&intf->dev,
"Unsupported bus topology: hub nested too deep\n");
hub_over_tier();
return -E2BIG;
}
So, proof that this works? How did you test this?
=> I use the Pixel phone to verify the code , the framework received
the uevent when the last connected hub over "MAX_TOPO_LEVEL".
Also, you have a memory leak in this submission :(
=> Do you mean I should add device_destroy here ?
hub_device =
device_create(hub_class, NULL, MKDEV(0, 0), NULL, "usb_hub");
+if (IS_ERR(hub_device))
+ return PTR_ERR(hub_device);
void usb_hub_cleanup(void)
{
+if (!IS_ERR(hub_device))
+device_destroy(hub_class, hub_device->devt);
if (!IS_ERR(hub_class))
class_destroy(hub_class);

Very odd quoting style, perhaps you might want to read up on how to do
this properly at:

How does the kernel normally send error conditions that it detects in
hardware to userspace?

But you only have a single hub variable, and a huge memory leak, did you
not detect that in your testing?

Try it on a desktop as well, with many hubs and see what happens :(

What do you think should be done?

I don't think you are understanding that you can have multiple hubs in
the system at the same time :(

I will create a sysfs attribute to record the hub status.
If there is a new hub with over 6 USB TOPO layer connected, I will use
the sysfs_notify to send the "error conditions" to userspace.
Is it a proper interfaces to delivery "error conditions"?

Maybe, it all depends on what you are wanting to show here. Try it out
and see, it's easier to review patches that you have shown work properly
for your use case than it is to try to discuss general issues.
