Re: [PATCH] platform/x86: dell-privacy: Add support for new privacy driver

From: Barnabás Pőcze
Date: Tue Nov 03 2020 - 14:14:49 EST


Hi

(I really hope Hans and Mark won't get mad at me for writing some thoughts about
this patch.)

First of all, indentation should be tabs (= 8 spaces), not spaces. If I see it
correctly, the two are mixed here.

And please make the printed messages consistent (capitalization, etc.),
I believe punctuation at the end is not necessary, and don't leave whitespaces
between the text and newline character. Please always run `checkpatch` on the patch
to see what can/needs to be improved.

There are also parts in the code (variables not actually used, etc.) that make me
feel like it's somewhat unfinished, or rather, incomplete.

Both `dell-privacy-acpi` and `dell-privacy-wmi` have the same comment:
"Dell privacy notification driver", but surely they are not the same thing?

I have also added a couple comments inline.

I have the same feeling about "from 2021 and newer".

The handle of "ACPI_PRIVACY_DEVICE" is queried in `privacy_acpi_probe()`. Why
is that not used here?

missing space -/

I think `acpi_format_exception()` could be used here.

I don't quite see why brightness is completely ignored? Does this just toggle
the LED state? Even in that case I think something should be done to avoid the
sysfs attribute showing brightness=1 while the LED is actually off.

Does the `ACPI_PRIVACY_EC_ACK` method (?) acknowledge something? If so, what? And
why is it called in the brightness setting method of a LED class device?

There is also the exact same `micmute_led_cdev` is in dell-laptop.c. Both are
valid? What's the difference? Why can't the LED be handled in just a single place?

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I do believe this is overly complicated.
I don't see why you cannot check the ACPI path, if it exists, register
a platform device, and then register the led to that device? The whole platform driver
part could've been avoided as far as I see.

I'm also wondering if the ACPI path is enough to decide undoubtedly that this
is indeed a compatible device.

The platform device is not cleaned up.

What is the purpose of this list? At the moment I can't really see it.

`last_status` and `features_present` are there for no actual benefit.

I see the calloc trick later to avoid writing KE_END, but I still think it'd be
better if there was an explicit KE_END entry.

The functions returns `bool`.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to just plainly assign an `int` to a `bool`.

Instead of always querying for the presence of the WMI GUID, wouldn't a single
atomic_t or similar be sufficient?

`sparse_keymap_setup()` takes care of this.

I can't quite see why you need a copy of the entries. If the key codes are initialized
to the "correct" values, this can be avoided altogether.

`keymap` is leaked here.

`int ret;` would've been enough. The preferred and prevalent style is:

```
int ret;

ret = step_1();
if (ret) {
pr_err(...);
goto undo_step_1;
}

ret = step_2();
if (ret) {
pr_err(...);
goto undo_step_2;
}

...

return 0;


undo_step_2:
...
undo_step_1:
....

return ret;
```

Even ignoring stylistic questions, the WMI driver is not unregistered if
`privacy_acpi_init()` fails, which is a bigger problem.

Even ignoring that, I'm not sure it's a good idea that a module that exports
symbols for others to use can fail to load.

A couple lines above the `MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE` macro was invoked right after
the device table.

Wouldn't it be better if the header file provided a static inline definitions
for `dell_privacy_valid()` and `dell_privacy_process_event()` - if CONFIG_DELL_PRIVACY
is not enabled - that return false and do nothing, respectively? The same way
it's done in dell-smbios.h.
