As you're adding Copyrights from Intel/Google in this patch, that indicates that part of the stuff you're adding here were authored by others. So, you should use Co-developed-by: tag here, and get the SOBs from the other developers that did part of the work[1]. [1] except if your work was sponsored by Cisco, Intel and Google, but I think this is not the case. > > --- > > drivers/media/Makefile | 3 +- > > drivers/media/media-device.c | 14 ++ > > drivers/media/media-request.c | 407 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > include/media/media-device.h | 16 ++ > > include/media/media-request.h | 244 ++++++++++++++++++++ > > 5 files changed, 683 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > create mode 100644 drivers/media/media-request.c > > create mode 100644 include/media/media-request.h > > > > diff --git a/drivers/media/Makefile b/drivers/media/Makefile > > index 594b462ddf0e..985d35ec6b29 100644 > > --- a/drivers/media/Makefile > > +++ b/drivers/media/Makefile > > @@ -3,7 +3,8 @@ > > # Makefile for the kernel multimedia device drivers. > > # > > > > -media-objs := media-device.o media-devnode.o media-entity.o > > +media-objs := media-device.o media-devnode.o media-entity.o \ > > + media-request.o > > > > # > > # I2C drivers should come before other drivers, otherwise they'll fail > > diff --git a/drivers/media/media-device.c b/drivers/media/media-device.c > > index 35e81f7c0d2f..bb6a64acd3f0 100644 > > --- a/drivers/media/media-device.c > > +++ b/drivers/media/media-device.c > > @@ -32,6 +32,7 @@ > > #include <media/media-device.h> > > #include <media/media-devnode.h> > > #include <media/media-entity.h> > > +#include <media/media-request.h> > > > > #ifdef CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER > > > > @@ -366,6 +367,15 @@ static long media_device_get_topology(struct > > media_device *mdev, > > return ret; > > } > > > > +static long media_device_request_alloc(struct media_device *mdev, > > + struct media_request_alloc *alloc) > > +{ > > + if (!mdev->ops || !mdev->ops->req_validate || !mdev->ops->req_queue) > > + return -ENOTTY; > > + > > + return media_request_alloc(mdev, alloc); > > +} > > + > > static long copy_arg_from_user(void *karg, void __user *uarg, unsigned int > > cmd) > > { > > /* All media IOCTLs are _IOWR() */ > > @@ -414,6 +424,7 @@ static const struct media_ioctl_info ioctl_info[] = { > > MEDIA_IOC(ENUM_LINKS, media_device_enum_links, > > MEDIA_IOC_FL_GRAPH_MUTEX), > > MEDIA_IOC(SETUP_LINK, media_device_setup_link, > > MEDIA_IOC_FL_GRAPH_MUTEX), > > MEDIA_IOC(G_TOPOLOGY, media_device_get_topology, > > MEDIA_IOC_FL_GRAPH_MUTEX), > > + MEDIA_IOC(REQUEST_ALLOC, media_device_request_alloc, 0), > > }; > > > > static long media_device_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, > > @@ -686,6 +697,8 @@ void media_device_init(struct media_device *mdev) > > INIT_LIST_HEAD(&mdev->pads); > > INIT_LIST_HEAD(&mdev->links); > > INIT_LIST_HEAD(&mdev->entity_notify); > > + > > + mutex_init(&mdev->req_queue_mutex); > > mutex_init(&mdev->graph_mutex); > > ida_init(&mdev->entity_internal_idx); > > > > @@ -699,6 +712,7 @@ void media_device_cleanup(struct media_device *mdev) > > mdev->entity_internal_idx_max = 0; > > media_graph_walk_cleanup(&mdev->pm_count_walk); > > mutex_destroy(&mdev->graph_mutex); > > + mutex_destroy(&mdev->req_queue_mutex); > > } > > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(media_device_cleanup); > > > > diff --git a/drivers/media/media-request.c b/drivers/media/media-request.c > > new file mode 100644 > > index 000000000000..c216c4ab628b > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/drivers/media/media-request.c > > @@ -0,0 +1,407 @@ > > +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only > > +/* > > + * Media device request objects > > + * > > + * Copyright 2018 Cisco Systems, Inc. and/or its affiliates.

IMHO, locking is still an issue here. I would love to test the locks with some tool that would randomize syscalls, issuing close(), poll() and read() at wrong times and inverting the order of some calls, in order to do some empiric test that all locks are at the right places. Complex locking schemas like that usually tend to cause a lot of troubles. > > + if (state != MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_IDLE) { > > + dev_dbg(mdev->dev, > > + "request: unable to queue %s, request in state %s\n", > > + req->debug_str, media_request_state_str(state)); > > + mutex_unlock(&mdev->req_queue_mutex); > > + return -EBUSY; > > + } > > + > > + ret = mdev->ops->req_validate(req); > > + > > + /* > > + * If the req_validate was successful, then we mark the state as QUEUED > > + * and call req_queue.

MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_IDLE : MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_QUEUED); Why are you changing state also when ret fails? Also, why you had to use a spin lock earlier in this function just to change the req->state but you don't need to use it here? > > + > > + if (!ret) > > + mdev->ops->req_queue(req); > > + > > + mutex_unlock(&mdev->req_queue_mutex); > > + > > + if (ret) > > + dev_dbg(mdev->dev, "request: can't queue %s (%d)\n", > > + req->debug_str, ret); > > + else > > + media_request_get(req); > > + > > + return ret; > > +} > > + > > +static long media_request_ioctl_reinit(struct media_request *req) > > +{ > > + struct media_device *mdev = req->mdev; > > + unsigned long flags; > > + > > + spin_lock_irqsave(&req->lock, flags); > > + if (atomic_read(&req->state) != MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_IDLE && > > + atomic_read(&req->state) != MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_COMPLETE) { > > + dev_dbg(mdev->dev, > > + "request: %s not in idle or complete state, cannot > > reinit\n", > > + req->debug_str); > > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&req->lock, flags); > > + return -EBUSY; > > + } > > + atomic_set(&req->state, MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_CLEANING); > > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&req->lock, flags); > > + > > + media_request_clean(req); > > + > > + atomic_set(&req->state, MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_IDLE); > > + > > + return 0; > > +} > > + > > +static long media_request_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, > > + unsigned long arg) > > +{ > > + struct media_request *req = filp->private_data; > > + > > + switch (cmd) { > > + case MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE: > > + return media_request_ioctl_queue(req); > > + case MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT: > > + return media_request_ioctl_reinit(req); > > + default: > > + return -ENOIOCTLCMD; > > + } > > +} > > + > > +static const struct file_operations request_fops = { > > + .owner = THIS_MODULE, > > + .poll = media_request_poll, > > + .unlocked_ioctl = media_request_ioctl, > > + .release = media_request_close, > > +}; > > + > > +int media_request_alloc(struct media_device *mdev, > > + struct media_request_alloc *alloc) > > +{ > > + struct media_request *req; > > + struct file *filp; > > + char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; > > + int fd; > > + int ret; > > + > > + /* Either both are NULL or both are non-NULL */ > > + if (WARN_ON(!mdev->ops->req_alloc ^ !mdev->ops->req_free)) > > + return -ENOMEM; > > + > > + fd = get_unused_fd_flags(O_CLOEXEC); > > + if (fd < 0) > > + return fd; > > + > > + filp = anon_inode_getfile("request", &request_fops, NULL, O_CLOEXEC); > > + if (IS_ERR(filp)) { > > + ret = PTR_ERR(filp); > > + goto err_put_fd; > > + } > > + > > + if (mdev->ops->req_alloc) > > + req = mdev->ops->req_alloc(mdev); > > + else > > + req = kzalloc(sizeof(*req), GFP_KERNEL); > > + if (!req) { > > + ret = -ENOMEM; > > + goto err_fput; > > + } > > + > > + filp->private_data = req; > > + req->mdev = mdev; > > + atomic_set(&req->state, MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_IDLE); > > + req->num_incomplete_objects = 0; > > + kref_init(&req->kref); > > + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&req->objects); > > + spin_lock_init(&req->lock); > > + init_waitqueue_head(&req->poll_wait); > > + > > + alloc->fd = fd; > > + > > + get_task_comm(comm, current); > > + snprintf(req->debug_str, sizeof(req->debug_str), "%s:%d", > > + comm, fd); > > + dev_dbg(mdev->dev, "request: allocated %s\n", req->debug_str); > > + > > + fd_install(fd, filp); > > + > > + return 0; > > + > > +err_fput: > > + fput(filp); > > + > > +err_put_fd: > > + put_unused_fd(fd); > > + > > + return ret; > > +} > > + > > +static void media_request_object_release(struct kref *kref) > > +{ > > + struct media_request_object *obj = > > + container_of(kref, struct media_request_object, kref); > > + struct media_request *req = obj->req; > > + > > + if (req) > > + media_request_object_unbind(obj); > > + obj->ops->release(obj); > > +} > > + > > +void media_request_object_put(struct media_request_object *obj) > > +{ > > + kref_put(&obj->kref, media_request_object_release); > > +} > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(media_request_object_put); > > + > > +void media_request_object_init(struct media_request_object *obj) > > +{ > > + obj->ops = NULL; > > + obj->req = NULL; > > + obj->priv = NULL; > > + obj->completed = false; > > + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&obj->list); > > + kref_init(&obj->kref); > > +} > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(media_request_object_init); > > + > > +int media_request_object_bind(struct media_request *req, > > + const struct media_request_object_ops *ops, > > + void *priv, > > + struct media_request_object *obj) > > +{ > > + unsigned long flags; > > + int ret = -EBUSY; > > + > > + if (WARN_ON(!ops->release)) > > + return -EPERM; > > + > > + obj->req = req; > > + obj->ops = ops; > > + obj->priv = priv; > > + > > + spin_lock_irqsave(&req->lock, flags); > > + > > + if (WARN_ON(atomic_read(&req->state) != MEDIA_REQUEST_STATE_IDLE)) > > + goto unlock; > > Is this worth a kernel warning, or rather how the drivers / other framework > bits (e.g. VB2) prevent user from binding objects to non-idle requests?
