[alsa-devel] [PATCH v3] ES938 support for ES18xx driver
Add support for ES938 3-D Audio Effects Processor found on some ES18xx (and possibly other) sound cards, doing bass/treble and 3D control.
ES938 is controlled by MIDI SysEx commands sent through card's MPU401 port.
The code opens/closes the MIDI device everytime a mixer control value is changed so userspace apps can still use the MIDI port. Changing the mixer controls will fail when the MIDI port is open by an application.

Changes in v3:
- constify buf argument to snd_rawmidi_kernel_write
- remove double if from probe
- spelling fix
Changes in v2:
- debug message when ES938 detected
- reworked sysex messages to use structs
- ktime instead of jiffies for timeout
Nice!

As this is seen only on es18xx, we don't need to make it as an individual module. Just merge into snd-es18xx module.
ES938 is controlled by MIDI SysEx commands sent through card's MPU401 port.
The code opens/closes the MIDI device everytime a mixer control value is changed so userspace apps can still use the MIDI port. Changing the mixer controls will fail when the MIDI port is open by an application.
Why the kernel open/close is needed for snd_es938_init(), too? Also, adding controls after snd_card_register() call isn't good in most cases.
thanks,
Takashi

Add support for ES938 3-D Audio Effects Processor found on some ES18xx (and possibly other) sound cards, doing bass/treble and 3D control.
As this is seen only on es18xx, we don't need to make it as an individual module. Just merge into snd-es18xx module.
ES938 does not depend on ES18xx and can be connected to any device with MIDI interface. Maybe there are some other cards with this chip.
ES938 is controlled by MIDI SysEx commands sent through card's MPU401 port.
The code opens/closes the MIDI device everytime a mixer control value is changed so userspace apps can still use the MIDI port. Changing the mixer controls will fail when the MIDI port is open by an application.
Why the kernel open/close is needed for snd_es938_init(), too? Also, adding controls after snd_card_register() call isn't good in most cases.
chip->rfile must be a valid snd_rawmidi_file handle for snd_es938_write_reg() and snd_es938_write_reg() to work.
IIRC, there is a chicken-and-egg problem with adding controls and sound card's MIDI interface initialization: we need a working MIDI interface to detect ES938 presence - that's after snd_card_register() is called
vs.
we need to add conttrols before snd_card_register() is called

Changes in v3:
- constify buf argument to snd_rawmidi_kernel_write
- remove double if from probe
- spelling fix
Changes in v2:
- debug message when ES938 detected
- reworked sysex messages to use structs
- ktime instead of jiffies for timeout

Well, then the interface is somehow abused. The snd_rawmidi_kernel_read/write() are mostly only for sequencer core stuff, and they aren't supposed to be used by the individual driver.
That said, I'm not willing to merge the patch in the current form. One of the reason is that this can be implemented pretty easily in user-space. Another is that it's a deadly old device, and likely only handful boards are still running in the world, thus no much motivation to bloat the kernel code for that. We're even discussing to get rid of ISA codes from the kernel tree nowadays.
Sorry, the patch was submitted 10 years too late.

Given that I hate the forces that are increasingly coming into play here (but of course I do see the bigger picture, namely of kernel tree bloat), I think I have an idea which might be useful to accept: for every piece of sufficiently "vintage" submission, people would be tasked with offering (or somehow ensuring) a sufficiently closely time-related cleanup in other places.
Thus, given a "diffstat penalty" (lines added minus lines removed) of the vintage support patch:
Additionally offer a cleanup patch which gets rid of redundantly implemented kernel tree functionality: - for 15 year old devices: 0.5 * diffstat_penalty - for 20 year old devices: 1.0 * diffstat_penalty - for 25 year old devices: 1.5 * diffstat_penalty - for 30 year old devices: whaaa?
Hmm?

The problem that such a new driver imposes is not a one-time reduction in overall kernel quality, but the ongoing maintenance effort.

Vintage is not IMHO a useful test. We have plenty of vintage hardware with active hands-on maintainers which causes no problem, and plenty of modern drivers with basically no maintainer that causes endless problems.
I think there is much merit in the Debian approach - if it's not got a maintainer, and nobody is willing to take it on, throw it out. If it's got a maintainer leave it in.
Economics will resolve the rest of the problem reasonably efficiently. If someone cares enough about using it then they'll figure out how to keep it maintained.

Given that I hate the forces that are increasingly coming into play here (but of course I do see the bigger picture, namely of kernel tree bloat), I think I have an idea which might be useful to accept: for every piece of sufficiently "vintage" submission, people would be tasked with offering (or somehow ensuring) a sufficiently closely time-related cleanup in other places.
Thus, given a "diffstat penalty" (lines added minus lines removed) of the vintage support patch:
Additionally offer a cleanup patch which gets rid of redundantly implemented kernel tree functionality:
- for 15 year old devices: 0.5 * diffstat_penalty
- for 20 year old devices: 1.0 * diffstat_penalty
- for 25 year old devices: 1.5 * diffstat_penalty
- for 30 year old devices: whaaa?
The kernel bloat is one side, and your proposal would help to keep figure. But another side is the maintenance, as Clemens pointed. It's obviously more difficult for exotic hardware devices. So, it's really case-by-case.
Speaking of this particular patch, however, the reason for NAK isn't (only) the vintage. There are other concerns as I raised, especially the ugliness of the interface it uses, and this doesn't have to be a kernel stuff at all. You could implement it as a user-space alsa-lib plugin as well.

ES938 does not depend on ES18xx and can be connected to any device with MIDI interface. Maybe there are some other cards with this chip.
Please prove it :)

That said, I'm not willing to merge the patch in the current form. One of the reason is that this can be implemented pretty easily in user-space. Another is that it's a deadly old device, and likely only handful boards are still running in the world, thus no much motivation to bloat the kernel code for that. We're even discussing to get rid of ISA codes from the kernel tree nowadays.
Sorry, the patch was submitted 10 years too late.

So do I understand correctly that there is no (right) way for a kernel driver to issue MIDI commands?
Is it possible for an alsa-lib plugin to automatically load when an ES18xx sound card is present to check for ES938 (without repeating the detection on each application launch)?

Not in the form as you used. The driver could poke the internal I/O instead, or introduce a better way to integrate without fs ops. In the latter case, we need to introduce a new API, and it's not worth only for this driver, though.

A good question. IMO, it's easier to let user choose via the static configuration in this case. It's an ISA device, after all, no hotplug device. You can fiddle with udev and create a config on the fly at boot time, too.
