We currently have a struct ssam_request_sync and a function
ssam_request_sync(). While this is valid C, there are some downsides to
it.

One of these is that current Sphinx versions (&gt;= 3.0) cannot
disambiguate between the two (see disucssion and pull request linked
below). It instead emits a "WARNING: Duplicate C declaration" and links
for the struct and function in the resulting documentation link to the
same entry (i.e. both to either function or struct documentation)
instead of their respective own entries.

While we could just ignore that and wait for a fix, there's also a point
to be made that the current naming can be somewhat confusing when
searching (e.g. via grep) or trying to understand the levels of
abstraction at play:

We currently have struct ssam_request_sync and associated functions
ssam_request_sync_[alloc|free|init|wait|...]() operating on this struct.
However, function ssam_request_sync() is one abstraction level above
this. Similarly, ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() is not a function
operating on struct ssam_request_sync, but rather a sibling to
ssam_request_sync(), both using the struct under the hood.

Therefore, rename the top level request functions:

  ssam_request_sync() -&gt; ssam_request_do_sync()
  ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() -&gt; ssam_request_do_sync_with_buffer()
  ssam_request_sync_onstack() -&gt; ssam_request_do_sync_onstack()

The `tid_in` and `tid_out` fields of the serial hub protocol command
struct (struct ssh_command) are actually source and target IDs,
indicating the peer from which the message originated and the peer for
which it is intended.

Change the naming of those fields accordingly and improve the protocol
documentation. Additionally, introduce an enum containing all currently
known peers, i.e. targets and sources.

Although rare, ssam_request_sync_init() can fail. In that case, the
request should be freed via ssam_request_sync_free(). Currently it is
leaked instead. Fix this.

<title>platform/surface: aggregator: Allow notifiers to avoid communication on unregistering</title>

When SSAM client devices have been (physically) hot-removed,
communication attempts with those devices may fail and time out. This
can even extend to event notifiers, due to which timeouts may occur
during device removal, slowing down that process.

Add a parameter to the notifier unregister function that allows skipping
communication with the EC to prevent this. Furthermore, add wrappers for
registering and unregistering notifiers belonging to SSAM client devices
that automatically check if the device has been marked as hot-removed
and communication should be avoided.

Note that non-SSAM client devices can generally not be hot-removed, so
also add a convenience wrapper for those, defaulting to allow
communication.

We can already enable and disable SAM events via one of two ways: either
via a (non-observer) notifier tied to a specific event group, or a
generic event enable/disable request. In some instances, however,
neither method may be desirable.

The first method will tie the event enable request to a specific
notifier, however, when we want to receive notifications for multiple
event groups of the same target category and forward this to the same
notifier callback, we may receive duplicate events, i.e. one event per
registered notifier. The second method will bypass the internal
reference counting mechanism, meaning that a disable request will
disable the event regardless of any other client driver using it, which
may break the functionality of that driver.

To address this problem, add new functions that allow enabling and
disabling of events via the event reference counting mechanism built
into the controller, without needing to register a notifier.

This can then be used in combination with observer notifiers to process
multiple events of the same target category without duplication in the
same callback function.

<title>platform/surface: aggregator: Allow registering notifiers without enabling events</title>
<updated>2021-06-16T15:47:53+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Maximilian Luz</name>
<email>luzmaximilian@gmail.com</email>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=0e8512fab9fd6d78e88931c02a43b04d15566d6b'/>
<id>0e8512fab9fd6d78e88931c02a43b04d15566d6b</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, each SSAM event notifier is directly tied to one group of
events. This makes sense as registering a notifier will automatically
take care of enabling the corresponding event group and normally drivers
only need notifications for a very limited number of events, associated
with different callbacks for each group.

However, there are rare cases, especially for debugging, when we want to
get notifications for a whole event target category instead of just a
single group of events in that category. Registering multiple notifiers,
i.e. one per group, may be infeasible due to two issues: a) we might not
know every event enable/disable specification as some events are
auto-enabled by the EC and b) forwarding this to the same callback will
lead to duplicate events as we might not know the full event
specification to perform the appropriate filtering.

This commit introduces observer-notifiers, which are notifiers that are
not tied to a specific event group and do not attempt to manage any
events. In other words, they can be registered without enabling any
event group or incrementing the corresponding reference count and just
act as silent observers, listening to all currently/previously enabled
events based on their match-specification.

Essentially, this allows us to register one single notifier for a full
event target category, meaning that we can process all events of that
target category in a single callback without duplication. Specifically,
this will be used in the cdev debug interface to forward events to
user-space via a device file from which the events can be read.

Currently, each SSAM event notifier is directly tied to one group of
events. This makes sense as registering a notifier will automatically
take care of enabling the corresponding event group and normally drivers
only need notifications for a very limited number of events, associated
with different callbacks for each group.

However, there are rare cases, especially for debugging, when we want to
get notifications for a whole event target category instead of just a
single group of events in that category. Registering multiple notifiers,
i.e. one per group, may be infeasible due to two issues: a) we might not
know every event enable/disable specification as some events are
auto-enabled by the EC and b) forwarding this to the same callback will
lead to duplicate events as we might not know the full event
specification to perform the appropriate filtering.

This commit introduces observer-notifiers, which are notifiers that are
not tied to a specific event group and do not attempt to manage any
events. In other words, they can be registered without enabling any
event group or incrementing the corresponding reference count and just
act as silent observers, listening to all currently/previously enabled
events based on their match-specification.

Essentially, this allows us to register one single notifier for a full
event target category, meaning that we can process all events of that
target category in a single callback without duplication. Specifically,
this will be used in the cdev debug interface to forward events to
user-space via a device file from which the events can be read.
