Re: [PATCHv2 001/002] usbhid: Fix initialisation for the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 2 joystick

From: Jim Keir

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I've included a replacement patch here for the first issue, and will send a separate message with a patch for the third issue. I've removed the second as per Alan's request. This diff is against the latest version of the hid branch rather than the 3.13 branch I was using before. Apologies for the mistakes, I'm still feeling my way around here.

Allow the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick to perform the required communication with the device during initialisation.

Hi,

Jim, in addition to what Alan said, here are some comments that I
would like to be fixed in the v2.

The Signed-off-by line is generally at the end of the commit message.
This way, if someone else adds new changes to the patch, we can trace
which modifications belongs to which.

Currently the SWFF2 driver fails during initialisation, making the force
capability of the joystick unusable. Further, there is a long-standing
bug in the same driver where commands to update force parameters are
addressed to the last-created force effect instead of the specified one,
making it impossible to modify effects after their creation.

Three bugs are addressed:

1) The FF2 driver (usbhid/hid-pidff.c) sends commands to the stick
during ff_init. However, this is called inside a block where
driver_input_lock is locked, so the results of these initial commands
are discarded. This one is the "killer", without this nothing else works.

ff_init issues commands using "hid_hw_request". This eventually goes to
hid_input_report, which returns -EBUSY because driver_input_lock is
locked. The change is to delay the ff_init call in hid-core.c until
after this lock has been released.

2) The usbhid driver ignores an endpoint stall when sending control
commands, causing the first few commands of the hid-pidff.c
initialisation to get lost.

usbhid/hid-core.c has been modified by copying lines into "hid_ctrl"
from the "hid_irq_in" function in the same file.

3) The FF2 driver (usbhid/hid-pidff.c) does not set the effect ID when
uploading an effect. The result is that the initial upload works but
subsequent uploads to modify effect parameters are all directed at the
last-created effect.

Fully agree that you should split the commit in 3 if there are 3
issues (and to the rest Alan said also, but this is the most important
I think).


The targeted effect ID must be passed back to the device when effect
parameters are changed. This is done at the start of
"pidff_set_condition_report", "pidff_set_periodic_report" etc. based on
the value of "pidff->block_load[PID_EFFECT_BLOCK_INDEX].value[0]".
However, this value is only ever set during pidff_request_effect_upload.
The result is stored in "pidff->pid_id[effect->id]" at the end of
pid_upload_effect, for later use. However, if an effect is modified and
re-sent then this identifier is not being copied back from
pidff->pid_id[effect->id] before sending the command to the device. The
fix is to do this at the start of pidff_upload_effect.

This patch taken against kernel 3.13.0

Please don't. If the feedback driver needs to have access to the IO
earlier, it needs to call hid_device_io_start() (and eventually
hid_device_io_stop() if some other initialization are required).

Not sure this is absolutely required, but it shouldn't hurt so you can
