    HID: Separate struct hid_device's driver_lock into two locks. · c849a614
    Andrew de los Reyes 提交于
    This patch separates struct hid_device's driver_lock into two. The
    goal is to allow hid device drivers to receive input during their
    probe() or remove() function calls. This is necessary because some
    drivers need to communicate with the device to determine parameters
    needed during probe (e.g., size of a multi-touch surface), and if
    possible, may perfer to communicate with a device on host-initiated
    disconnect (e.g., to put it into a low-power state).
    
    Historically, three functions used driver_lock:
    
    - hid_device_probe: blocks to acquire lock
    - hid_device_remove: blocks to acquire lock
    - hid_input_report: if locked returns -EBUSY, else acquires lock
    
    This patch adds another lock (driver_input_lock) which is used to
    block input from occurring. The lock behavior is now:
    
    - hid_device_probe: blocks to acq. driver_lock, then driver_input_lock
    - hid_device_remove: blocks to acq. driver_lock, then driver_input_lock
    - hid_input_report: if driver_input_lock locked returns -EBUSY, else
      acquires driver_input_lock
    
    This patch also adds two helper functions to be called during probe()
    or remove(): hid_device_io_start() and hid_device_io_stop(). These
    functions lock and unlock, respectively, driver_input_lock; they also
    make a note of whether they did so that hid-core knows if a driver has
    changed the lock state.
    
    This patch results in no behavior change for existing devices and
    drivers. However, during a probe() or remove() function call in a
    driver, that driver may now selectively call hid_device_io_start() to
    let input events come through, then optionally call
    hid_device_io_stop() to stop them.
