Hi all,

As requested in today's summit discussions, here's a link that can be
used to inspect the code we've done to add AMP support on the latest
next tree.

branch pk-upstream


I'll put here some comments I have about some L2CAP patches:

Thanks for taking the time to look over all these changes!

+       u16 allocSize;

No capital letter here. Do alloc_size. Check the rest of your code for similar
stuff.

Yes, someone caught that in our internal code review too. I think this was the only one.

Do not add new lines random places into your patch. Check you code for others
things like that. Also check for lines overstepping the column 80.

We definitely know we have work to do to clean up these patches and add proper commit messages. Please be assured that we'll have these more tidied up before posting patches to linux-bluetooth.

Get ride off this struct, that actually doesn't help. We tried that before and
Marcel and I agreed that it does not help.

If you guys don't like it, I'll take it out.

Avoid changes like that in your patches, you are just breaking a line here. If
you want to do that do in a separeted patch.



+/* L2CAP ERTM / Streaming extra field lengths */
+#define L2CAP_FCS_SIZE          2

Separated patch for that, so then you replace 2 for L2CAP_FCS_SIZE in one
patch, instead of doing that in many patches like you are doing now. The same
goes for L2CAP_SDULEN_SIZE.

Yes, I already split that commit up to send the "RFC" patch set earlier today. Unfortunately I missed that commit when generating my patches :(

What is that? we already have such defines.

I was trying to not break existing code, while also creating constants that were useful for modified code that will work with either extended or enhanced headers. The new values are important, but I agree that this is not the way to introduce the changes. See below for more detail.

   Bluetooth: Remove unused L2CAP code.

net/bluetooth/l2cap.c | 1104 +------------------------------------------------

That's not acceptable, we have to modify the existent base code and make it
work with the new features, instead writing a new one and then switch to it.

When setting up the commits for this git branch, I had to pick between two approaches:

* Build up a modified state machine in parallel, so the switchover could happen in one patch. The code would compile and run after every patch.

* Or, start modifying the state machine piece by piece. Until all of the modifications were done, ERTM would not work.

I don't think my approach worked out well (mostly because it doesn't preserve history adequately, and doesn't make it clear where code has been modified instead of newly written). However, it's what we had to share coming in to the Bluetooth summit, and we felt it was very important to share it. I want to refine the approach to these patches to put them in some acceptable form, so lets talk about the best way to do that.


commit 09850f68219572288fe62a59235fda3d2629c7b2
Author: Peter Krystad <pkrystad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

   Rename l2cap.c to el2cap.c.

   Necessary before additional files can be added to l2cap module.
   A module cannot contain a file with the same name as the module.

We don't neeed that. We might split l2cap.c into smaller chunks before merge
all the AMP stuff into it, so we won't have the module name problem anymore.

There is a technical reason for this. We changed the Makefile to create l2cap.ko from two source files - one for L2CAP and one for AMP. However, the build system fails if you try to link l2cap.c and amp.c in to l2cap.ko. We had to come up with some other name for l2cap.c in order to keep the module name the same. There's probably a better choice than el2cap.c - any suggestions are welcome.
