Discussion:
[PATCH 0/8] General RFKill improvements
(too old to reply)

This series contains a few general improvements to the RFKill code, found while
I was writing the rfkill-all / airplane mode LED trigger. All were points where
I had to read twice or do some other kind of extra effort to fully understand
it, so I think merging these changes will benefit someone trying to understand
the RFKill subsystem in the future.

It also removes sysfs interfaces that were marked as obsolete for 4+ years.

João Paulo Rechi Vita (8):
rfkill: Documentation and style fixes
rfkill: Improve code readability
rfkill: Improve code readability
rfkill: Remove obsolete "claim" sysfs interface
rfkill: Remove obsolete "state" sysfs interface
rfkill: Move user_state_from_blocked() close to its user
rfkill: Update userspace API documentation
rfkill: Factor common code

Fixes some small typos, punctuation, and copy & paste issues. Also
removes an extra blank line.

If this is true, that's a bug, no? Drivers would call pause/resume when
their status changes, and shouldn't be required to check status at
resume time?

resume time?
I did not dive too much into the logic here, but
rfkill_resume_polling() is called unconditionally on rfkill_resume(),
so it seems that if a driver call rfkill_pause_polling() before
suspend, on resume polling will be "un-paused". That indeed looks
strange.

RFKILL_BLOCK_SW value have just been saved to prev, no need to check it
again in the if expression. This makes code a little bit easier to read.

__rfkill_set_hw_state() is only one used in rfkill_set_hw_state(), and
none of them are long or complicated, so merging the two makes the code
easier to read.

With the removal of the state attribute there is only one user of
user_state_from_blocked() left. Moving this function close to its only
user makes the code more organized and easier to read.

Yeah, maybe we should just move it back. The problem with it is that it
doesn't fully reflect the state (both sw+hw blocked can't be reflected)
but if the current users are happy with it then that's not really a
problem.

Hi,
Post by João Paulo Rechi Vita
This series contains a few general improvements to the RFKill code, found while
I was writing the rfkill-all / airplane mode LED trigger. All were points where
I had to read twice or do some other kind of extra effort to fully understand
it, so I think merging these changes will benefit someone trying to understand
the RFKill subsystem in the future.
I applied some of this. I think we need to keep the "state" sysfs
interface, perhaps you want to document it more clearly. I also didn't
apply the first patch since I'd fixed the suspend/pause issue, please
see if any of your patches remain relevant and resend that.

Thanks,
johannes
