[PATCH v6 00/19] staging: r8188eu: Shorten and simplify calls chains

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



io_ops abstraction is useless in this driver, since there is only one ops
registration. Without io_ops we can get rid of indirect calls mess and
shorten the calls chain.

Shorten the calls chain of rtw_read8/16/32() down to the actual reads.
For this purpose unify the three usb_read8/16/32 into the new
usb_read(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_read() and use in it the new
usb_control_msg_recv() API of USB Core.

Shorten the calls chain of rtw_write8/16/32() down to the actual writes.
For this purpose unify the four usb_write8/16/32/N() into the new
usb_write(); make the latter parameterizable with 'size'; embed most of
the code of usbctrl_vendorreq() into usb_write() and use in it the new
usb_control_msg_send() API of USB Core.

The code with the modifications was thoroughly tested by Pavel Skripkin
using a TP-Link TL-WN722N v2 / v3 [Realtek RTL8188EUS] and by Fabio M.
De Francesco using a ASUSTek Computer, Inc. Realtek 8188EUS [USB-N10 Nano].

Changelog:

v5->v6:
	- 1-14:
		Minimal changes to patch subjects to achieve consistent
		style;
	- 15:
		Fix a mistake in the checks of values returned by
		usb_control_msg();
	- 16-19:
		No changes.

v4->v5:
        - 1-14:
                No changes;

        - 17-18:
                Pavel Skripkin found logical errors in the checks of the
                values returned by usb_control_msg_{recv,send}(), so fix them;
                Dan Carpenter suggested to do error handling before success
                handling, so change the code accordingly;
        - 19:
                Add this patch in order to get rid of the shared buffer in

                Split a patch into fourteen;

                usb_control_msg_recv().

        - 3:
                Replace parameter REALTEK_USB_VENQT_READ with REALTEK_USB_VENQT_WRITE
                in usb_control_msg_send().
