If it's OK to be merged, do i need to re-send it in another email. --- diff --git a/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c b/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c index ce31017..291e0ca 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c +++ b/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c @@ -61,7 +61,6 @@ struct usb_skel { __u8 bulk_out_endpointAddr; /* the address of the bulk out endpoint */ int errors; /* the last request tanked */ bool ongoing_read; /* a read is going on */ - bool processed_urb; /* indicates we haven't processed the urb */ spinlock_t err_lock; /* lock for errors */ struct kref kref; struct mutex io_mutex; /* synchronize I/O with disconnect */ @@ -201,6 +200,12 @@ static int skel_do_read_io(struct usb_skel *dev, size_t count) min(dev->bulk_in_size, count), skel_read_bulk_callback, dev); + + /* submit bulk in urb, which means no data to deliver */ + INIT_COMPLETION(dev->bulk_in_completion); + dev->bulk_in_copied = 0; + dev->bulk_in_filled = 0; + /* tell everybody to leave the URB alone */ spin_lock_irq(&dev->err_lock); dev->ongoing_read = 1; @@ -212,7 +217,6 @@ static int skel_do_read_io(struct usb_skel *dev, size_t count) dev_err(&dev->interface->dev, "%s - failed submitting read urb, error %d\n", __func__, rv); - dev->bulk_in_filled = 0; rv = (rv == -ENOMEM) ? rv : -EIO; spin_lock_irq(&dev->err_lock); dev->ongoing_read = 0; @@ -264,22 +268,6 @@ retry: rv = wait_for_completion_interruptible(&dev->bulk_in_completion); if (rv < 0) goto exit; - /* - * by waiting we also semiprocessed the urb - * we must finish now - */ - dev->bulk_in_copied = 0; - dev->processed_urb = 1; - } - - if (!dev->processed_urb) { - /* - * the URB hasn't been processed - * do it now - */ - wait_for_completion(&dev->bulk_in_completion); - dev->bulk_in_copied = 0; - dev->processed_urb = 1; } /* errors must be reported */ @@ -289,8 +277,6 @@ retry: dev->errors = 0; /* to preserve notifications about reset */ rv = (rv == -EPIPE) ? rv : -EIO; - /* no data to deliver */ - dev->bulk_in_filled = 0; /* report it */ goto exit; } --- > Not good.

Just for learning, I want to know whether below patch which retain the completion work or not. --- diff --git a/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c b/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c index ce31017..7ed3b03 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c +++ b/drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c @@ -61,11 +61,10 @@ struct usb_skel { __u8 bulk_out_endpointAddr; /* the address of the bulk out endpoint */ int errors; /* the last request tanked */ bool ongoing_read; /* a read is going on */ - bool processed_urb; /* indicates we haven't processed the urb */ spinlock_t err_lock; /* lock for errors */ struct kref kref; struct mutex io_mutex; /* synchronize I/O with disconnect */ - struct completion bulk_in_completion; /* to wait for an ongoing read */ + wait_queue_head_t bulk_in_wait; /* to wait for an ongoing read */ }; #define to_skel_dev(d) container_of(d, struct usb_skel, kref) @@ -185,7 +184,7 @@ static void skel_read_bulk_callback(struct urb *urb) dev->ongoing_read = 0; spin_unlock(&dev->err_lock); - complete(&dev->bulk_in_completion); + wake_up_interruptible(&dev->bulk_in_wait); } static int skel_do_read_io(struct usb_skel *dev, size_t count) @@ -206,13 +205,16 @@ static int skel_do_read_io(struct usb_skel *dev, size_t count) dev->ongoing_read = 1; spin_unlock_irq(&dev->err_lock); + /* submit bulk in urb, which means no data to deliver */ + dev->bulk_in_filled = 0; + dev->bulk_in_copied = 0; + /* do it */ rv = usb_submit_urb(dev->bulk_in_urb, GFP_KERNEL); if (rv < 0) { dev_err(&dev->interface->dev, "%s - failed submitting read urb, error %d\n", __func__, rv); - dev->bulk_in_filled = 0; rv = (rv == -ENOMEM) ? rv : -EIO; spin_lock_irq(&dev->err_lock); dev->ongoing_read = 0; @@ -261,25 +263,9 @@ retry: * IO may take forever * hence wait in an interruptible state */ - rv = wait_for_completion_interruptible(&dev->bulk_in_completion); + rv = wait_event_interruptible(dev->bulk_in_wait, (!dev->ongoing_read)); if (rv < 0) goto exit; - /* - * by waiting we also semiprocessed the urb - * we must finish now - */ - dev->bulk_in_copied = 0; - dev->processed_urb = 1; - } - - if (!dev->processed_urb) { - /* - * the URB hasn't been processed - * do it now - */ - wait_for_completion(&dev->bulk_in_completion); - dev->bulk_in_copied = 0; - dev->processed_urb = 1; } /* errors must be reported */ @@ -289,8 +275,6 @@ retry: dev->errors = 0; /* to preserve notifications about reset */ rv = (rv == -EPIPE) ? rv : -EIO; - /* no data to deliver */ - dev->bulk_in_filled = 0; /* report it */ goto exit; } @@ -526,7 +510,7 @@ static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface, mutex_init(&dev->io_mutex); spin_lock_init(&dev->err_lock); init_usb_anchor(&dev->submitted); - init_completion(&dev->bulk_in_completion); + init_waitqueue_head(&dev->bulk_in_wait); dev->udev = usb_get_dev(interface_to_usbdev(interface)); dev->interface = interface; --- Du Xing Thanks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
