If I read the code correctly, and we get an external connect event
inbetween a previous disconnect and the related disable call, this
should result in a PLUG_INT being injected into the queue still.

Will that not cause the same problem?

Yes, your observation is correct and I had asked the same question to
kuogee before taking over this change and posting.

Should it then have the Co-developed-by trailers?


hmmm, perhaps but that didnt result in any code change between v2 and v3, so I didnt add it.

We will have to handle that case separately. I don't have a good
solution yet for it without requiring further rework or we drop the
below snippet.

if (state == ST_DISCONNECT_PENDING) {
/* wait until ST_DISCONNECTED */
dp_add_event(dp, EV_HPD_PLUG_INT, 0, 1); /* delay = 1 */
mutex_unlock(&dp->event_mutex);
return 0;
}

I will need sometime to address that use-case as I need to see if we can
handle that better and then drop the the DISCONNECT_PENDING state to
address this fully. But it needs more testing.

But, we will need this patch anyway because without this we will not be
able to fix even the most regular and commonly seen case of basic
connect/disconnect receiving complementary events.

Hmm, no. We need to drop the HPD state machine, not to patch it. Once
the driver has proper detect() callback, there will be no
complementary events. That is a proper way to fix the code, not these
kinds of band-aids patches.


I had discussed this part too :)

I totally agree we should fix .detect()'s behavior to just match cable connect/disconnect and not link_ready status.

But that alone would not have fixed this issue. If HPD thread does not get scheduled and plug_handle() was not executed, .detect() would have still returned old status as we will update the cable status only in plug_handle() / unplug_handle() to have a common API between internal and external hpd execution.

So we need to do both, make .detect() return correct status AND drop hpd event thread processing.

But, dropping the hpd event thread processing alone was fixing the complimentary events issue. So kuogee had only this part in this patch.


else if (dp_display->link_ready && status == connector_status_disconnected)
- dp_add_event(dp, EV_HPD_UNPLUG_INT, 0, 0);
+ dp_hpd_unplug_handle(dp, 0);
