Oh, so this happens a bit later than I expected or I could read from
the backtrace. Anyway this debugging was still helpful, I think I can
see a possible problem.
So most likely the crash happens at the:
led_cdev->brightness_set(led_cdev, ...);
call. I'm not sure what I was thinking when writing that code. It
looks wrong.
The thing is some LEDs (drivers) don't provide brightness_set op.
It's fine, we should just use brightness_set_blocking op when that
happens. Of course kernel has proper helpers for that, we don't have
to worry about the choice of op or scheduling the work. I have no
idea why I didn't use a proper helper in the first place.
So we should simply replace above call with one of following ones:
1) led_set_brightness(led_cdev, ...);
2) led_set_brightness_nosleep(led_cdev, ...);
3) led_set_brightness_sync(led_cdev, ...);
I still have to check which one is correct. In theory we don't deal
blinking at this point so we shouldn't need to use led_set_brightness.
led_set_brightness_nosleep looks like the most likely correct choice.
led_set_brightness_sync requires brightness_set_blocking which is not
always present so most likely we don't want this one.
If you have some free time and you want to play with this, please
replace led_cdev->brightness_set
with
led_set_brightness_nosleep
and give it a try. This should fix crashes for you.
I'll look at this again during next days.
Hi Rafał
I just gave 2) led_set_brightness_nosleep a try. The kernel no longer
crashes and the led does work as expected.
Do you have any patch that needs to be applied?
Yes, it has been pushed:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git/commit/?h=usb-next&id=89778ba335e302a450932ce5b703c1ee6216e949
When sending it I didn't Cc linux-leds as get_maintainer.pl didn't
pick it. Should we add MAINTAINERS entry for ledtrig-usbport.c maybe?
I haven't tested this trigger earlier, probably due to the fact that
it was targeted for usb subsystem, sorry about that. Nonetheless,
I've just tried it on exynos4412-trats2 board and it seems not to
work properly.
I have the board connected through USB (I have an opened ssh session),
I'm doing "echo usbport > trigger", then I can see the "ports"
directory, but it is empty.
Any ideas on the possible reasons? Exynos4412-trats2 uses
Ethernet Gadget (with CDC Ethernet support) USB Gadget Driver
for USB networking.
