[PATCH v2 15/17] RTC: rtctest: Change alarm IRQ support detection

From: Andrey Smirnov
Date: Tue Jun 21 2016 - 03:25:57 EST


For old style drivers, call a call to ioctl(..., RTC_ALM_SET, ...):

- char/ds1302.c will always return -EINVAL
- char/genrtc.c: will always return -EINVAL
- char/rtc.c will succeed regardless if IRQs are supported or not
- char/efirtc.c will always return -EINVAL
- input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c ... that ioctl code is a good lesson about
ifdefing code out and punting implementation ... and it will
always return -EINVAL

For new style rtc drivers, a call to ioctl(..., RTC_ALM_SET, ...) never
results in a call to __rtc_set_alarm, since struct rtc_wkalarm passed to
rtc_set_alarm has 'enabled' field set to 0. This means that
rtc->ops->set_alarm driver hook is never called in that ioctl. Since no
driver code interaction happens as a part of that call, using its
results to ascertain properties of the driver is not going to work. To
remedy this - use the result of RTC_AIE_ON to make the judgement.

This patch also changes ENOTTY to EINVAL as a error code value that
would tell us that IRQs are not supported. There are three reason for
this:

- As mentioned above old style driver never retunr ENOTTY for this
ioctl

- In it's code __rtc_set_alarm() returns -EINVAL if rtc->ops->set_alarm
method is not provided by the driver, so one reason for change is to
be consistent with that code path.

- A call to ioctl(..., RTC_UIE_ON, ...) will result in a call to
rtc_update_irq_enable() and then __rtc_set_alarm(), which, if IRQs
are not supported by the driver, will result in a non-zero error
code. Returning ENOTTY in that case would:

a) Not be consistent with other codepaths of
rtc_update_irq_enable, for example the check of
rtc->uie_unsupported

b) Would break update IRQ emulation code since that codpath
expects EINVAL

c) Would break test's logic for feature support detection in
the case of RTC_UIE_ON ioctl
