Hi , Greg What tool will "catch" this? Where is that code located at? => I prepare merge the code to Android phone , so I used Android HLOS to catch this uevent. uevents are not for stuff like this, you are trying to send "error conditions" to userspace, please use the "proper" interfaces like this and not abuse existing ones. => Sorry , I am not sure what is the "proper" interfaces your mean. Could you please give me more description? You just created a whole new sysfs class with no Documentation/ABI/ update? => Yes, I will add it. Wait, how did you even test this code? This will not work if you have more than one hub in the system at a single time, right? => I build the test build which flash in Android phone and connect several hubs to try it. When the new hub which met MAX_TOPO_LEVEL connected , it sent notify to user space. Phone ------↓ hub ------↓ hub ------↓ ...------↓ hub if (hdev->level == MAX_TOPO_LEVEL) { dev_err(&intf->dev, "Unsupported bus topology: hub nested too deep\n"); hub_over_tier(); return -E2BIG; } So, proof that this works? How did you test this? => I use the Pixel phone to verify the code , the framework received the uevent when the last connected hub over "MAX_TOPO_LEVEL". Also, you have a memory leak in this submission :( => Do you mean I should add device_destroy here ? hub_device = device_create(hub_class, NULL, MKDEV(0, 0), NULL, "usb_hub"); +if (IS_ERR(hub_device)) + return PTR_ERR(hub_device); void usb_hub_cleanup(void) { +if (!IS_ERR(hub_device)) +device_destroy(hub_class, hub_device->devt); if (!IS_ERR(hub_class)) class_destroy(hub_class); Best Regards, Chien Kun Niu rickyniu@xxxxxxxxxx Chien Kun Niu SSD USB rickyniu@xxxxxxxxxx 02 8729 0651 Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 於 2021年2月26日 週五 下午5:31寫道: > > On Fri, Feb 26, 2021 at 05:16:12PM +0800, Ricky Niu wrote: > > When the topology of the nested hubs are over 6 layers > > Send uevent to user space when USB TOPO layer over 6. > > Let end user more understand what happened. > > > > Signed-off-by: Ricky Niu <rickyniu@xxxxxxxxxx> > > --- > > drivers/usb/core/hub.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ > > 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/hub.c b/drivers/usb/core/hub.c > > index 7f71218cc1e5..e5e924526822 100644 > > --- a/drivers/usb/core/hub.c > > +++ b/drivers/usb/core/hub.c > > @@ -55,6 +55,10 @@ static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(device_state_lock); > > static struct workqueue_struct *hub_wq; > > static void hub_event(struct work_struct *work); > > > > +/* struct to notify userspace of hub events */ > > +static struct class *hub_class; > > +static struct device *hub_device; > > Wait, how did you even test this code?
