We currently only emit events on changed line config to user-space on changes made from user-space. Users have no way of getting notified about in-kernel changes. This series improves the situation and also contains a couple other related improvements. This is a reworked approach which gets and stores as much info (all of it actually, except for the pinctrl state) the moment the event occurrs but moves the actual queueing of the event on the kfifo to a dedicated high-priority, ordered workqueue. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - put all line-info events emitting on a workqueue to allow queueing them from atomic context - switch the notifier type used for emitting info events to atomic - add a patch notifying user-space about drivers requesting their own descs - drop patches that were picked up - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241004-gpio-notify-in-kernel-events-v1-0-8ac29e1df4fe@xxxxxxxxxx --- Bartosz Golaszewski (6): gpiolib: notify user-space when a driver requests its own desc gpio: cdev: prepare gpio_desc_to_lineinfo() for being called from atomic gpiolib: add a per-gpio_device line state notification workqueue gpio: cdev: put emitting the line state events on a workqueue gpiolib: switch the line state notifier to atomic gpiolib: notify user-space about in-kernel line state changes drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c | 126 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c | 79 +++++++++++++++++++++++---- drivers/gpio/gpiolib.h | 8 ++- 3 files changed, 171 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) --- base-commit: b7adfb6076ff0c1ebbde56d1903daa3d07db92c5 change-id: 20240924-gpio-notify-in-kernel-events-07cd912153e8 Best regards, -- Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>
