Commit Message

Hongren Zheng March 16, 2021, 2:25 a.m. UTC
The old document for usbip protocol is misleading and hard to read:
  * Some fields in header are incorrect
  * Explanation of some fields are unclear or even wrong
  * Padding of header (namely all headers have the same length) is
    not explicitly pointed out, which is crucial for stream protocol
    like TCP

Major changes:
  * Document the correct field as described in the codebase.
  * Document the padding in usbip headers. This is crucial for TCP
    stream hence these padding should be explicitly point out.
    In code these padding are implemented by a union of all headers.
  * Fix two FIXME related to usbip unlink and Document the behavior
    of unlink in different situation.
  * Clarify some field with more accurate explanation, like those
    fields associated with URB. Some constraints are extracted from
    code.
  * Delete specific transfer_flag doc in usbip as it should be
    documented by the URB part.
  * Add data captured from wire as example

PATCH v2:
Some changes suggested by a previous patch in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb
/20180128071514.9107-1-alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com/
is adopted in this patch.
  * Fix Typo: duplicated 'the' in 'the following 4 field'
  * Fix incorrect field: in OP_REQ_DEVLIST, the second dev starts with
    field 'path', not 'busid'

PATCH v3:
Suggested by
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/YE8Oan2BmSuKR4%2Fp@kroah.com/
  * Remove date and changelog in doc as these are tracked in git history
  * Remove 'mistake alert' as all data fields are documented properly
    now. However, docs on possible values for some field shall be added
    in the future

Hi Hongren Zheng,

Thanks for the patch. The document updates are very much needed.
I will review and give you comments.

Please wait for a couple of days before sending another version.
Makes it easier for you an your reviewers.

I started reviewing patch v3 and I will switch to v5 now
and send you comments.

thanks,
-- Shuah

Why are we deleting this. What do you mean documented by URB part?

This is not clear to me. Doesn't look correct. Where do you see this
in drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c?

I would do this differently. Let's add this as an expanded
USBIP_CMD_UNLINK sequence with a separate heading below the
current flow

Let's make this vx.x.x and specify current version number at the top.
Saves us doc updates as we change version number - one location change

transfer_flag are actually defined by the URB struct,
refer to https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/usb/URB.html
and usbip headers just encapsulate this flag.
You may refer to usbip_pack_cmd_submit in
/drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_common.c and notice that 
the flag are just copied from one URB with a small tweak.
(Note that this tweak is also documented below).

Hence the possible transfer flags for each transfer type
should be explained by URB document, not USB/IP document.
I think documenting them here is duplicated, hence I deleted
them.

GKH suggested tracking version by git changlog, so I deleted
these fields. Refer to

Sorry that this is a typo. I meant "the unlinked URB request would not
have a corresponding USBIP_RET_SUBMIT".
This is shown in the following flow by the "<-X--X--" line.
This will be fixed in the next version of this PATCH.

The explanation is in the comments of function stub_recv_cmd_unlink.
"The unlinking flag means that we are now **not** going to return the normal
result pdu of a submission request, **but** going to return a result pdu of
the unlink request"
This behavior is implemented by **replacing** the normal result pdu
with a unlink result pdu. You may walk through this function to 
understand the behavior.
So should I add this function name in the document for clarity?

Currently we have two flows, one for device list and another for
device import and URB transfer.
I think that UNLINK is a common command within the latter flow,
namely SUBMIT and UNLINK are interweaved in the whole flow,
and separating UNLINK from SUBMIT would cause logical separation
as if they follows different flow.

I think what I have documented is the full use case for UNLINK,
so I wonder what do you mean by "expanded sequence".

Will be adopted in the next version of the PATCH.

A sidenote though, the version number has not changed since the 
release (out of staging) of usbip.

It makes sense to not duplicate the information. Please add a reference
to the URB doc here. Does the tweak require context? It would make sense
to add the reference to URB doc and then call out the tweak.

Okay that makes sense.

Yes. Just confirming this is the one you are referring to. Yes. Please
call out the function if you are referencing it here.

 The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
-USB devices and the clients imports them. The device driver for the exported
