Subject: [PATCH V4 06/12] trace: Add a generic function to read/write u64 values from tracefs
The hwlat detector and (in preparation for) the osnoise/timerlat tracers
have a set of u64 parameters that the user can read/write via tracefs.
For instance, we have hwlat_detector's window and width.
To reduce the code duplication, hwlat's window and width share the same
read function. However, they do not share the write functions because
they do different parameter checks. For instance, the width needs to
be smaller than the window, while the window needs to be larger
than the window. The same pattern repeats on osnoise/timerlat, and
a large portion of the code was devoted to the write function.
Despite having different checks, the write functions have the same
structure:
read a user-space buffer
take the lock that protects the value
check for minimum and maximum acceptable values
save the value
release the lock
return success or error
To reduce the code duplication also in the write functions, this patch
provides a generic read and write implementation for u64 values that
need to be within some minimum and/or maximum parameters, while
(potentially) being protected by a lock.
To use this interface, the structure trace_min_max_param needs to be
filled:
struct trace_min_max_param {
struct mutex *lock;
u64 *val;
u64 *min;
u64 *max;
};
The desired value is stored on the variable pointed by *val. If *min
points to a minimum acceptable value, it will be checked during the
write operation. Likewise, if *max points to a maximum allowable value,
it will be checked during the write operation. Finally, if *lock points
to a mutex, it will be taken at the beginning of the operation and
released at the end.
The definition of a trace_min_max_param needs to passed as the
(private) *data for tracefs_create_file(), and the trace_min_max_fops
(added by this patch) as the *fops file_operations.
