Re: [PATCH v3] Introduce support for Systems Management Driver over WMI for Dell Systems

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

 



Hi,

Ok code review this time. Still mainly focussing on the overal
structure and not so much individual functions.

Note the code is starting to look good to me.

One general remark, now that we are keeping the 1 file per
type (int/enum/string) layout, there are quite a few files
in this driver. I think it would be good to create a
drivers/platform/x86/dell-wmi-sysman dir and put all the
files there, so that it is easier to e.g. grep for something
in all the files belonging to this driver.

The Dell WMI Systems Management Driver provides a sysfs
interface for systems management to enable BIOS configuration
capability on certain Dell Systems.

This driver allows user to configure Dell systems with a
uniform common interface. To facilitate this, the patch
introduces a generic way for driver to be able to create
configurable BIOS Attributes available in Setup (F2) screen.

Changes from v2 to v3:
  - Fix a possible NULL pointer error in init
  - Add missing newlines to all dev_err/dev_dbg/pr_err/pr_debug statements
  - Correct updating passwords when both Admin and System password are set
  - Correct the WMI driver name
  - Correct some namespace clashing when compiled into the kernel (Reported by Mark Gross)
  - Correct some comment typos
  - Adopt suggestions made by Hans:
    + Use single global mutex
    + Clarify reason for uevents with a comment
    + Remove functions for set and get current password
    + Rename lower_bound to min_value and upper_bound to max_value
    + Rename possible_value to possible_values
    + Remove references to float
    + Build a separate passwords directory again since it behaves differently from the other
      attributes
    + Move more calls from pr_err -> dev_err
  - Documentation cleanups (see v2 patch feedback)
    + Grouping types
    + Syntax of `modifier` output

Changes from v1 to v2:
  - use pr_fmt instead of pr_err(DRIVER_NAME
  - re-order variables reverse xmas tree order
  - correct returns of -1 to error codes
  - correct usage of {} on some split line statements
  - Refine all documentation deficiencies suggested by Hans
  - Merge all attributes to a single directory
  - Overhaul WMI interface interaction as suggested by Hans
    * Move WMI driver registration to start of module
    * Remove usage of lists that only use first entry for WMI interfaces
    * Create a global structure shared across interface source files
    * Make get_current_password function static
    * Remove get_pending changes function, shared across global structure now.
- Overhaul use of mutexes
    * Make kset list mutex shared across source files
    * Remove unneeded dell-wmi-sysman call_mutex
    * Keep remaining call_mutexes in WMI functions
- Move security area calculation into a function
- Use NLS helper for utf8->utf16 conversion

Can we put these 2 static globals inside the wmi_priv
data structure?  It does not matter much but I find it a bit
cleaner to have all global state together in a single place.

+get_instance_id(enumeration);

This macro will need to be adjusted a bit then, but I don't
see any problem there, just put wmi_priv. in front of the
type##_instances_count and type##_data[i].attribute_name.

This needs to be moved to the end of this function, as soon as you
call this, e.g. current_value_show() could be called, before the
enumeration_data[instance_id].current_value buffer has been filled.

The same goes for the other populate_foo() functions.

It would be better to push this lock (and the unlock) up into init_dell_bios_attrib_wmi()
this way we can ensure that none of the functions which take the lock can run
before we are completely done with initializing and registering all
the various sysfs attributes.

This lock/unlock can then also be removed from the other populate_foo()
functions.

As mentioned in the v2 thread I would prefer for this to be done differently

This check fails to take strlen(buf) == MAX_BUFF into account, in that
case the strncpy below:

+
+	if (strcmp(kobj->name, "Admin") == 0)
+		strncpy(wmi_priv.current_admin_password, buf, (strlen(buf) + 1));

Will write MAX_BUFF + 1 bytes to wmi_priv.current_admin_password !

Looking at the string handling in this driver in general,
I am not really happy with it.

It seems that strncpy is used everywhere and strncpy is a horrible
function, which sreally should never be used. The reason for this
is that the source string having a length greater then the passed
in buffer-length will result in the destination buffer not being
0 terminated. Now sometimes that is a feature, but in that case
you should probably use memcpy to make it clear that you expect
the string to not be 0 terminated.

In other cases using strlcpy is better since it guarantees 0
termination (truncating the input to fit in the destination-buffer).

Now I see that you try to correctly deal with strncpy-s nastiness
everywhere, but please just don't use it all.
Not using strncpy at all is much better.

A lot of the strncpy usage is hidden in:

strncpy_attr(char *dest, char *src)
{
        size_t len = strlen(src) + 1;

        if (len > 1 && len < MAX_BUFF)
                strncpy(dest, src, len);
}

Why is there no warning printed when the source string
is too long ? Now we just quietly throw away the
data, which seems undesirable.

Also wouldn't truncating the data to fit in MAX_BUFF be better?
(honest question, I do not know which option is better)

Hmm, I see so there is more then one boolean for user-space to monitor.

I guess that in that case udev change events might make sense.  That would
also be easier to describe in the sysfs API, we can just say that if anything
changes a udev change event is send.

Note you should still make sure to only do the other kobject_uevent() call
on the first change of pending_changes from 0 -> 1, after that it does not
change, so there is no need to spam userspace with more uevents.

Hans
