Description Laz Lev 2019-07-25 20:22:42 UTC

Up until 5.0 (5.0.11 on Arch Linux) my DVBSky T9580 V3 IR receiver is working perfectly. Since 5.1 (I first tried 5.1.2 on Arch) the receiver stops working without giving any obvious error messages anywhere.

Interestingly enough after the first reboot when upgrading to 5.1 the receiver still works for a split second before it seizes to work (I can get 1-2 successful key presses on my remote).

Neither "ir-keytable -t" nor "irw" give any output after that. I'm attaching some information about the different states between 5.0/5.1.

Hopefully someone can have a look and tell me if something changed in the source code or if I need to change something in my configuration.

Comment 1 ailin.nemui+kernel 2020-07-10 12:25:24 UTC

same issue on OpenSUSE 15.2 kernel 5.3.18, it either doesn't work or registers double presses, or wrong presses

Comment 2 Laz Lev 2021-01-14 22:55:56 UTC

I bisected between kernel 5.0 and 5.1 and found the commit that breaks my IR receiver. Hopefully this can be resolved now?

Comment 3 Sean Young 2021-01-15 12:38:55 UTC

This commit changes the IR handling, it is very possible that there was a regression there. Please can you send the output of:

ir-ctl -r

(and then press some buttons)

Thanks.

Comment 4 Laz Lev 2021-01-15 22:36:05 UTC

On linux 5.0 (where my remote is still working) I get the following error:
$ ir-ctl -r
/dev/lirc0: device cannot receive raw ir

On linux 5.1 (where my remote stops working) I neither get an error nor any output when pressing buttons. Features are reported like this:
$ ir-ctl -f
Receive features /dev/lirc0:
 - Device can receive raw IR
 - Can report decoded scancodes and protocol
 - Resolution 83 microseconds
 - Receiving timeout 100000 microseconds
Send features /dev/lirc0:
 - Device cannot send

And device is detected like this during boot:
rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver SMI_PCIe registered at minor = 0, raw IR receiver, no transmitter

lircd is installed with devinput driver:
$ lircd --version
lircd 0.10.1

Comment 5 Sean Young 2021-01-17 12:27:41 UTC

Created attachment 294695 [details]
Add some debugging to IR receiving

This patch adds some extra debugging so we can see what the hardware is producing.

Comment 6 Sean Young 2021-01-17 12:29:46 UTC

Please can you try the patch and tell us if there is any output in dmesg when you press some buttons.

Thanks

Comment 7 Laz Lev 2021-01-17 15:56:53 UTC

I applied the patch and got some key presses recognized right after reboot. After 2-3 seconds it stopped working and nothing gets logged anymore (I guess some hard crash?).

Comment 8 Laz Lev 2021-01-25 20:38:51 UTC

Sean Young: So I'm guessing the debug output I gave was not very helpful? Anything else we can try to locate the problem?

Do you know of any way to contact the original author Patrick Lerda? Last time I checked his mail box was full...

Comment 9 ailin.nemui+kernel 2021-01-25 20:51:52 UTC

reverting that commit fixes my remote

Comment 10 Sean Young 2021-01-26 10:48:19 UTC

Looks like the device reports IR fine and then stops. I don't know this driver either; neither do I have the hardware to experiment with. I've emailed the patch author and also got a mailbox full bounce.

So having read the driver code, it does some odd things which I can' explain. Disabling interrupts for each irq is unusual. I'm not sure they're being re-enabled correctly.

Please can you change line 179 from
 smi_set(IR_Init_Reg, rbIRhighidle);

to:

 smi_set(IR_Init_Reg, rbIRen | rbIRhighidle);

Possibly this will work, but this is guesswork I'm afraid.

Comment 11 Laz Lev 2021-01-26 23:00:35 UTC

I wanted to test your proposed change but there are three places where smi_set() is called:
line 83
line 92
line 121

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/media/pci/smipcie/smipcie-ir.c

Line 121 is already set to the way you proposed so should I change line 83 and/or line 92?

Comment 12 Laz Lev 2021-01-26 23:18:39 UTC

Sorry, just saw that only line 92 exactly matches what you mentioned so I went ahead and changed that line to:
 smi_set(IR_Init_Reg, rbIRen | rbIRhighidle);

Unfortunately it did not fix the issue. Same behavior as before...

Comment 13 Sean Young 2021-01-29 10:58:37 UTC

Created attachment 294985 [details]
Add IR debugging and attempt to fix interrupts

The vendor code is here: http://dvbsky.net/download/linux/

I *hope* that now I've figured out what the problem is, and now the code matches what the original vendor code was done.

Please can you test this patch, and let me know if it works. Please include what the dmesg output please, whether it works or not.

Thank you very much!

Comment 14 ailin.nemui+kernel 2021-01-29 11:38:46 UTC

For reference, here was the original thread with working driver https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/patch/201506292209394689855@gmail.com/

Comment 15 Laz Lev 2021-01-29 20:07:02 UTC

Sean, I just tested your patch and I can confirm that it is working *almost* perfectly now. I'm catching some double presses now although I only pressed once but other than that it continues working.

Here's some output from journalctl -k:

Comment 16 Sean Young 2021-01-30 09:47:42 UTC

Thank you for testing the patch! I think we're almost there.

Comment 17 Sean Young 2021-01-30 09:49:00 UTC

Created attachment 294997 [details]
Add IR debugging and attempt to fix interrupts and timeout

The drivers sets the timeout length to 100ms but then only generates timeouts of 10ms.

Comment 18 Laz Lev 2021-01-30 13:41:17 UTC

I just tested the new patch and now it seems to work perfectly. At least I couldn't find any more issues with it after playing around a little with it. I think this patch can be submitted to the kernel to fix the issue.

Here's some debug output:

Comment 19 Sean Young 2021-01-31 10:56:10 UTC

Wonderful. 

I've cleaned up the patch. This includes some changes to make it conform to current coding standards (aka checkpatch.pl).

Comment 20 Laz Lev 2021-02-10 20:10:32 UTC

Hey Sean, thanks again for putting in the time to fix this problem. Much appreciated!

Do you know how long it normally takes to review and accept kernel patches like this? Is there some kind of auto-accept mechanism after a period of time with no activity?

Just wondering what's the normal procedure here. I'm not in a big hurry but still would love to see this applied sooner rather than later of course :)

Comment 21 Laz Lev 2021-03-03 20:29:39 UTC

Patch has been applied and will be part of the upcoming kernel 5.12. Thanks Sean!
