2023-02-03platform/surface: aggregator: Rename top-level request functions to avoid ↵Maximilian Luz1-4/+4
ambiguities We currently have a struct ssam_request_sync and a function ssam_request_sync(). While this is valid C, there are some downsides to it. One of these is that current Sphinx versions (>= 3.0) cannot disambiguate between the two (see disucssion and pull request linked below). It instead emits a "WARNING: Duplicate C declaration" and links for the struct and function in the resulting documentation link to the same entry (i.e. both to either function or struct documentation) instead of their respective own entries. While we could just ignore that and wait for a fix, there's also a point to be made that the current naming can be somewhat confusing when searching (e.g. via grep) or trying to understand the levels of abstraction at play: We currently have struct ssam_request_sync and associated functions ssam_request_sync_[alloc|free|init|wait|...]() operating on this struct. However, function ssam_request_sync() is one abstraction level above this. Similarly, ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() is not a function operating on struct ssam_request_sync, but rather a sibling to ssam_request_sync(), both using the struct under the hood. Therefore, rename the top level request functions: ssam_request_sync() -> ssam_request_do_sync() ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() -> ssam_request_do_sync_with_buffer() ssam_request_sync_onstack() -> ssam_request_do_sync_onstack() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/085e0ada65c11da9303d07e70c510dc45f21315b.1656756450.git.mchehab@kernel.org/ Link: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/8313 Signed-off-by: Maximilian Luz <luzmaximilian@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221220175608.1436273-2-luzmaximilian@gmail.com Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
2023-02-03platform/surface: aggregator: Improve documentation and handling of message ↵Maximilian Luz1-2/+2
target and source IDs The `tid_in` and `tid_out` fields of the serial hub protocol command struct (struct ssh_command) are actually source and target IDs, indicating the peer from which the message originated and the peer for which it is intended. Change the naming of those fields accordingly and improve the protocol documentation. Additionally, introduce an enum containing all currently known peers, i.e. targets and sources.

2022-06-13platform/surface: aggregator: Allow notifiers to avoid communication on ↵Maximilian Luz1-1/+5
unregistering When SSAM client devices have been (physically) hot-removed, communication attempts with those devices may fail and time out. This can even extend to event notifiers, due to which timeouts may occur during device removal, slowing down that process. Add a parameter to the notifier unregister function that allows skipping communication with the EC to prevent this. Furthermore, add wrappers for registering and unregistering notifiers belonging to SSAM client devices that automatically check if the device has been marked as hot-removed and communication should be avoided. Note that non-SSAM client devices can generally not be hot-removed, so also add a convenience wrapper for those, defaulting to allow communication.

2021-03-08platform/surface: aggregator: Make SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_x define static ↵Maximilian Luz1-2/+2
functions The SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_x() macros are intended to reduce boiler-plate code for SSAM request definitions by defining a wrapper function for the specified request. The client device variants of those macros, i.e. SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_x() in particular rely on the multi-device (MD) variants, e.g.: #define SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R(name, rtype, spec...) \ SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_R(__raw_##name, rtype, spec) \ int name(struct ssam_device *sdev, rtype *ret) \ { \ return __raw_##name(sdev->ctrl, sdev->uid.target, \ sdev->uid.instance, ret); \ } This now creates the problem that it is not possible to declare the generated functions static via static SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R(...) as this will only apply to the function defined by the multi-device macro, i.e. SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_R(). Thus compiling with `-Wmissing-prototypes' rightfully complains that there is a 'static' keyword missing. To solve this, make all SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_x() macros define static functions. Non-client-device macros are also changed for consistency. In general, we expect those functions to be only used locally in the respective drivers for the corresponding interfaces, so having to define a wrapper function to be able to export this should be the odd case out.
