[PATCH] rtc: ds1307: set uie_unsupported if no interrupt is available

[Łukasz Stelmach]

For an RTC without an IRQ assigned rtc_update_irq_enable() should
return -EINVAL.  It will, when uie_unsupported is set.

I've got ds3231 which supports alarms[1] but is not connected to any
interrupt line. Hence, client->irq is 0 as well as want_irq[2]. There
is also no other indirect connection, so I don't set wakeup-source
property and ds1307_can_wakeup_device remains[3] false. Under these
conditions

    want_irq = 0
    ds1307_can_wakeup_device = false

uie_unsupported remains[4] false. And this is the problem.

hwclock(8) when setting system clock from rtc (--hctosys) calls
synchronize_to_clock_tick_rtc()[5]. There goes

    ioctl(rtc_fd, RTC_UIE_ON, 0);

which leads us to

    rtc_update_irq_enable(rtc, 1);

and finally here [6]

    if (rtc->uie_unsupported) {
        err = -EINVAL;
        goto out;
    }

and we keep going (uie_unsupported = 0). All the following operations
succeed because chip supports alarms.

We go back to hwclock(8) and we start waiting[7] for the update from
interrupt which never arrives instead of calling
busywiat_for_rtc_clock_tick()[8] (mind the invalid indentation) because
of EINVAL returned from ioctl() (conf. [6])

But then, HAS_ALARM is not set and ds1337_set_alarm should fail which
makes rtc_timer_enqueue return an error. I admit this whole part is a
mess, I'm just trying to understand how you can hit that.

OK, you are right. The problem seems to be elsewhere.

How about this scnario? We call rtc_update_irq_enable(). We read rtc
with __rtc_read_time() and calculate the alarm time. We get through
rtc_timer_enqueue() and down to __rtc_set_alarm(). We loose the race
condition (I can do it, I've got really slow connection to DS3231) and
we return -ETIME from __rtc_set_alarm()

    if (scheduled <= now)
        return -ETIME;

and 0 from rtc_timer_enqueue() and the very same zero from
rtc_update_irq_enable(). The caller of ioctl() thinks they can expect
interrupts when, in fact, they won't receive any.

The really weird stuff happens in rtc_timer_do_work(). For the timer to
be dequeued __rtc_set_alarm() needs to return EINVAL three times in a
row. In my setup this doesn't happen and the code keeps running loops
around "reporogram" and "again" labels.

With my patch we never risk the above race condition between
__rtc_read_time() in rtc_update_irq_enable() and the one in
__rtc_set_alarm(), because we know rtc doesn't support alarms before we
start the race. In fact there is another race between __rtc_read_time()
and actually setting the alarm in the chip.

IMHO the solution is to introduce RTC_HAS_ALARM flag for struct
rtc_device and check it at the very beginning of __rtc_set_alarm() the
same way it is being done in ds1337_set_alarm(). What are your thoughts?

[PATCH 1/2] WIP: Introduce has_alarm method for rtc devices

[Łukasz Stelmach]

The method enables determining whether a device supports
setting alarms or not before checking if the alarm to be
set is in the past; thus, provides clear indication of
support for alarms in a given configuration.

Signed-off-by: Łukasz Stelmach <l.stelmach@samsung.com>

How about has_alarm() method. It can be checked at the beginning of
__rtc_set_alarm() like RTC_HAS_ALARM flag I proposed above, but doesn't
need to be introduced in all drivers at once.

See the following message for the implementation in the ds1307 driver.

The first uie_unsupported patch should be kept regardless of these two.

I did introduce RTC_FEATURE_ALARM for that in v5.12. I'm sending patches
that are not well tested but should solve your issue.

[PATCH 1/3] rtc: ds1307: replace HAS_ALARM by RTC_FEATURE_ALARM

[Alexandre Belloni]

The core now has RTC_FEATURE_ALARM for the driver to indicate whether
alarms are available. Use that instead of HAS_ALARM to ensure the alarm
callbacks are not even called.

[PATCH 3/3] rtc: rtc_update_irq_enable: rework UIE emulation

[Alexandre Belloni]

Now that the core is aware of whether alarms are available, it is possible
to decide whether UIE emulation is required before actually trying to set
the alarm.

This greatly simplifies rtc_update_irq_enable because there is now only one
error value to track and is not relying on the return value of
__rtc_set_alarm anymore.
