Hello,
I am looking at this code in __ps2_command again:
/*
* The reset command takes a long time to execute.
*/
timeout = msecs_to_jiffies(command == PS2_CMD_RESET_BAT ? 4000 : 500);
timeout = wait_event_timeout(ps2dev->wait,
!(READ_ONCE(ps2dev->flags) & PS2_FLAG_CMD1), timeout);
if (smp_load_acquire(&ps2dev->cmdcnt) &&
!(smp_load_acquire(&ps2dev->flags) & PS2_FLAG_CMD1)) {
timeout = ps2_adjust_timeout(ps2dev, command, timeout);
wait_event_timeout(ps2dev->wait,
!(smp_load_acquire(&ps2dev->flags) &
PS2_FLAG_CMD), timeout);
}
if (param)
for (i = 0; i < receive; i++)
param[i] = ps2dev->cmdbuf[(receive - 1) - i];
Here are two moments I don't understand:
1. The last parameter of ps2_adjust_timeout is timeout in jiffies (it
is compared against 100ms). However, timeout is assigned to result of
wait_event_timeout, which returns 0 or 1. This does not make sense to
me. What am I missing?
2. This code pays great attention to timeouts, but in the end I don't
see how it handles timeouts. That is, if a timeout is happened, we
still copyout (garbage) from cmdbuf. What am I missing here?
Thank you
