Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 14/21] hwmon: (isl28022) Fix current reading calculation
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2025 11:41:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250606154147.546388-14-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

[ Upstream commit b2446a16dbf2347a07af0cf994ca36576d94df77 ]
According to the ISL28022 datasheet, bit15 of the current register is
representing -32768. Fix the calculation to properly handle this bit,
ensuring correct measurements for negative values.

Now let me check for similar current register handling issues in other
hwmon drivers. Let me look at the commit to understand the exact issue:
Looking at the commit changes, I can see that:
**Before (broken):**
```c
*val = ((long)regval * 1250L * (long)data->gain) / (long)data->shunt;
```
**After (fixed):**
```c
u16 sign_bit;
sign_bit = (regval >> 15) & 0x01;
*val = (((long)(((u16)regval) & 0x7FFF) - (sign_bit * 32768)) * 1250L *
(long)data->gain) / (long)data->shunt;
```
The issue is that the ISL28022 current register is a 16-bit two's
complement signed integer where bit 15 represents the sign bit
(equivalent to -32768), but the original code was treating it as an
unsigned value.
Let me analyze based on the established criteria:
**Analysis:**
**YES - This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.**
**Detailed Analysis:**
1. **Bug Fix Nature**: This is a clear bug fix that addresses incorrect
current readings for negative values. According to the ISL28022
datasheet mentioned in the commit, the current register (04h) is a
16-bit two's complement value where bit 15 represents -32768, but the
driver was treating it as unsigned.
2. **User Impact**: This bug significantly affects users who rely on
accurate current measurements, especially when current flows in the
negative direction. The bug would cause:
- Incorrect reporting of negative currents as large positive values
- Complete failure to detect reverse current flow
- Invalid power calculations that depend on current readings
3. **Code Analysis**:
- **Problem**: Lines 164-165 in
`/home/sasha/linux/drivers/hwmon/isl28022.c:164-165` treat `regval`
as unsigned, causing negative currents to be interpreted as large
positive values
- **Solution**: The fix properly implements sign extension by
extracting bit 15 as the sign bit and manually computing the two's
complement value: `(value & 0x7FFF) - (sign_bit * 32768)`
- **Consistency**: The fix follows the exact same pattern already
used in the shunt voltage reading function (`isl28022_read_in`) at
lines 120-122, showing this is the established correct approach in
this driver
4. **Risk Assessment**:
- **Minimal Risk**: The change is very small and localized to the
current reading calculation
- **Well-Tested Pattern**: Uses the identical sign handling logic
already proven correct in the shunt voltage function
- **No Side Effects**: Only affects current register interpretation,
doesn't change any other functionality
5. **Driver Context**:
- The ISL28022 driver was introduced in October 2024 (commit
39671a14df4f), making it relatively new
- The driver is hardware-specific and contained within the hwmon
subsystem
- This follows the same pattern as other successful backports shown
in the examples
6. **Comparison to Similar Commits**: This commit is nearly identical to
the reference examples that were marked for backporting:
- **Similar Commit #1** (ina2xx): Fixed sign extension for current
register by adding `(s16)` cast
- **Similar Commit #3** (tmp513): Fixed sign extension with
`sign_extend32(regval, 15)` and type casting
- **Similar Commit #4** (nct7904): Fixed sign extension by converting
to `s8`
- **Similar Commit #5** (ina3221): Fixed shunt sum register bit
shifting
7. **Critical Subsystem**: Hardware monitoring is critical for system
health monitoring, thermal management, and power management.
Incorrect current readings could lead to improper system behavior or
failure to detect dangerous conditions.
**Conclusion**: This is a textbook stable tree candidate - it fixes a
clear functional bug with minimal risk, follows established patterns,
and addresses a real user-impacting issue in hardware monitoring
functionality.
