/**
* \page io Synchronous and asynchronous device I/O
*
* \section intro Introduction
*
* If you're using libusbx in your application, you're probably wanting to
* perform I/O with devices - you want to perform USB data transfers.
*
* libusbx offers two separate interfaces for device I/O. This page aims to
* introduce the two in order to help you decide which one is more suitable
* for your application. You can also choose to use both interfaces in your
* application by considering each transfer on a case-by-case basis.
*
* Once you have read through the following discussion, you should consult the
* detailed API documentation pages for the details:
* - \ref syncio
* - \ref asyncio
*
* \section theory Transfers at a logical level
*
* At a logical level, USB transfers typically happen in two parts. For
* example, when reading data from a endpoint:
* -# A request for data is sent to the device
* -# Some time later, the incoming data is received by the host
*
* or when writing data to an endpoint:
*
* -# The data is sent to the device
* -# Some time later, the host receives acknowledgement from the device that
* the data has been transferred.
*
* There may be an indefinite delay between the two steps. Consider a
* fictional USB input device with a button that the user can press. In order
* to determine when the button is pressed, you would likely submit a request
* to read data on a bulk or interrupt endpoint and wait for data to arrive.
* Data will arrive when the button is pressed by the user, which is
* potentially hours later.
*
* libusbx offers both a synchronous and an asynchronous interface to performing
* USB transfers. The main difference is that the synchronous interface
* combines both steps indicated above into a single function call, whereas
* the asynchronous interface separates them.
*
* \section sync The synchronous interface
*
* The synchronous I/O interface allows you to perform a USB transfer with
* a single function call. When the function call returns, the transfer has
* completed and you can parse the results.
*
* If you have used the libusb-0.1 before, this I/O style will seem familar to
* you. libusb-0.1 only offered a synchronous interface.
*
* In our input device example, to read button presses you might write code
* in the following style:
\code
unsigned char data[4];
int actual_length;
int r = libusb_bulk_transfer(handle, LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_IN, data, sizeof(data), &actual_length, 0);
if (r == 0 && actual_length == sizeof(data)) {
// results of the transaction can now be found in the data buffer
// parse them here and report button press
} else {
error();
}
\endcode
*
* The main advantage of this model is simplicity: you did everything with
* a single simple function call.
*
* However, this interface has its limitations. Your application will sleep
* inside libusb_bulk_transfer() until the transaction has completed. If it
* takes the user 3 hours to press the button, your application will be
* sleeping for that long. Execution will be tied up inside the library -
* the entire thread will be useless for that duration.
*
* Another issue is that by tieing up the thread with that single transaction
* there is no possibility of performing I/O with multiple endpoints and/or
* multiple devices simultaneously, unless you resort to creating one thread
* per transaction.
*
* Additionally, there is no opportunity to cancel the transfer after the
* request has been submitted.
*
* For details on how to use the synchronous API, see the
* \ref syncio "synchronous I/O API documentation" pages.
*
* \section async The asynchronous interface
*
* Asynchronous I/O is the most significant new feature in libusb-1.0.
* Although it is a more complex interface, it solves all the issues detailed
* above.
*
* Instead of providing which functions that block until the I/O has complete,
* libusbx's asynchronous interface presents non-blocking functions which
* begin a transfer and then return immediately. Your application passes a
* callback function pointer to this non-blocking function, which libusbx will
* call with the results of the transaction when it has completed.
*
* Transfers which have been submitted through the non-blocking functions
* can be cancelled with a separate function call.
*
* The non-blocking nature of this interface allows you to be simultaneously
* performing I/O to multiple endpoints on multiple devices, without having
* to use threads.
*
* This added flexibility does come with some complications though:
* - In the interest of being a lightweight library, libusbx does not create
* threads and can only operate when your application is calling into it. Your
* application must call into libusbx from it's main loop when events are ready
* to be handled, or you must use some other scheme to allow libusbx to
* undertake whatever work needs to be done.
* - libusbx also needs to be called into at certain fixed points in time in
* order to accurately handle transfer timeouts.
* - Memory handling becomes more complex. You cannot use stack memory unless
* the function with that stack is guaranteed not to return until the transfer
* callback has finished executing.
* - You generally lose some linearity from your code flow because submitting
* the transfer request is done in a separate function from where the transfer
* results are handled. This becomes particularly obvious when you want to
* submit a second transfer based on the results of an earlier transfer.
*
* Internally, libusbx's synchronous interface is expressed in terms of function
* calls to the asynchronous interface.
*
* For details on how to use the asynchronous API, see the
* \ref asyncio "asynchronous I/O API" documentation pages.

/**
* \page packetoverflow Packets and overflows
*
* \section packets Packet abstraction
*
* The USB specifications describe how data is transmitted in packets, with
* constraints on packet size defined by endpoint descriptors. The host must
* not send data payloads larger than the endpoint's maximum packet size.
*
* libusbx and the underlying OS abstract out the packet concept, allowing you
* to request transfers of any size. Internally, the request will be divided
* up into correctly-sized packets. You do not have to be concerned with
* packet sizes, but there is one exception when considering overflows.
*
* \section overflow Bulk/interrupt transfer overflows
*
* When requesting data on a bulk endpoint, libusbx requires you to supply a
* buffer and the maximum number of bytes of data that libusbx can put in that
* buffer. However, the size of the buffer is not communicated to the device -
* the device is just asked to send any amount of data.
*
* There is no problem if the device sends an amount of data that is less than
* or equal to the buffer size. libusbx reports this condition to you through
* the \ref libusb_transfer::actual_length "libusb_transfer.actual_length"
* field.
*
* Problems may occur if the device attempts to send more data than can fit in
* the buffer. libusbx reports LIBUSB_TRANSFER_OVERFLOW for this condition but
* other behaviour is largely undefined: actual_length may or may not be
* accurate, the chunk of data that can fit in the buffer (before overflow)
* may or may not have been transferred.
*
* Overflows are nasty, but can be avoided. Even though you were told to
* ignore packets above, think about the lower level details: each transfer is
* split into packets (typically small, with a maximum size of 512 bytes).
* Overflows can only happen if the final packet in an incoming data transfer
* is smaller than the actual packet that the device wants to transfer.
* Therefore, you will never see an overflow if your transfer buffer size is a
* multiple of the endpoint's packet size: the final packet will either
* fill up completely or will be only partially filled.
*/
/**
* @defgroup asyncio Asynchronous device I/O
*
* This page details libusbx's asynchronous (non-blocking) API for USB device
* I/O. This interface is very powerful but is also quite complex - you will
* need to read this page carefully to understand the necessary considerations
* and issues surrounding use of this interface. Simplistic applications
* may wish to consider the \ref syncio "synchronous I/O API" instead.
*
* The asynchronous interface is built around the idea of separating transfer
* submission and handling of transfer completion (the synchronous model
* combines both of these into one). There may be a long delay between
* submission and completion, however the asynchronous submission function
* is non-blocking so will return control to your application during that
* potentially long delay.
*
* \section asyncabstraction Transfer abstraction
*
* For the asynchronous I/O, libusbx implements the concept of a generic
* transfer entity for all types of I/O (control, bulk, interrupt,
* isochronous). The generic transfer object must be treated slightly
* differently depending on which type of I/O you are performing with it.
*
* This is represented by the public libusb_transfer structure type.
*
* \section asynctrf Asynchronous transfers
*
* We can view asynchronous I/O as a 5 step process:
* -# <b>Allocation</b>: allocate a libusb_transfer
* -# <b>Filling</b>: populate the libusb_transfer instance with information
* about the transfer you wish to perform
* -# <b>Submission</b>: ask libusbx to submit the transfer
* -# <b>Completion handling</b>: examine transfer results in the
* libusb_transfer structure
* -# <b>Deallocation</b>: clean up resources
*
*
* \subsection asyncalloc Allocation
*
* This step involves allocating memory for a USB transfer. This is the
* generic transfer object mentioned above. At this stage, the transfer
* is "blank" with no details about what type of I/O it will be used for.
*
* Allocation is done with the libusb_alloc_transfer() function. You must use
* this function rather than allocating your own transfers.
*
* \subsection asyncfill Filling
*
* This step is where you take a previously allocated transfer and fill it
* with information to determine the message type and direction, data buffer,
* callback function, etc.
*
* You can either fill the required fields yourself or you can use the
* helper functions: libusb_fill_control_transfer(), libusb_fill_bulk_transfer()
* and libusb_fill_interrupt_transfer().
*
* \subsection asyncsubmit Submission
*
* When you have allocated a transfer and filled it, you can submit it using
* libusb_submit_transfer(). This function returns immediately but can be
* regarded as firing off the I/O request in the background.
*
* \subsection asynccomplete Completion handling
*
* After a transfer has been submitted, one of four things can happen to it:
*
* - The transfer completes (i.e. some data was transferred)
* - The transfer has a timeout and the timeout expires before all data is
* transferred
* - The transfer fails due to an error
* - The transfer is cancelled
*
* Each of these will cause the user-specified transfer callback function to
* be invoked. It is up to the callback function to determine which of the
* above actually happened and to act accordingly.
*
* The user-specified callback is passed a pointer to the libusb_transfer
* structure which was used to setup and submit the transfer. At completion
* time, libusbx has populated this structure with results of the transfer:
* success or failure reason, number of bytes of data transferred, etc. See
* the libusb_transfer structure documentation for more information.
*
* \subsection Deallocation
*
* When a transfer has completed (i.e. the callback function has been invoked),
* you are advised to free the transfer (unless you wish to resubmit it, see
* below). Transfers are deallocated with libusb_free_transfer().
*
* It is undefined behaviour to free a transfer which has not completed.
*
* \section asyncresubmit Resubmission
*
* You may be wondering why allocation, filling, and submission are all
* separated above where they could reasonably be combined into a single
* operation.
*
* The reason for separation is to allow you to resubmit transfers without
* having to allocate new ones every time. This is especially useful for
* common situations dealing with interrupt endpoints - you allocate one
* transfer, fill and submit it, and when it returns with results you just
* resubmit it for the next interrupt.
*
* \section asynccancel Cancellation
*
* Another advantage of using the asynchronous interface is that you have
* the ability to cancel transfers which have not yet completed. This is
* done by calling the libusb_cancel_transfer() function.
*
* libusb_cancel_transfer() is asynchronous/non-blocking in itself. When the
* cancellation actually completes, the transfer's callback function will
* be invoked, and the callback function should check the transfer status to
* determine that it was cancelled.
*
* Freeing the transfer after it has been cancelled but before cancellation
* has completed will result in undefined behaviour.
*
* When a transfer is cancelled, some of the data may have been transferred.
* libusbx will communicate this to you in the transfer callback. Do not assume
* that no data was transferred.
*
* \section bulk_overflows Overflows on device-to-host bulk/interrupt endpoints
*
* If your device does not have predictable transfer sizes (or it misbehaves),
* your application may submit a request for data on an IN endpoint which is
* smaller than the data that the device wishes to send. In some circumstances
* this will cause an overflow, which is a nasty condition to deal with. See
* the \ref packetoverflow page for discussion.
*
* \section asyncctrl Considerations for control transfers
*
* The <tt>libusb_transfer</tt> structure is generic and hence does not
* include specific fields for the control-specific setup packet structure.
*
* In order to perform a control transfer, you must place the 8-byte setup
* packet at the start of the data buffer. To simplify this, you could
* cast the buffer pointer to type struct libusb_control_setup, or you can
* use the helper function libusb_fill_control_setup().
*
* The wLength field placed in the setup packet must be the length you would
* expect to be sent in the setup packet: the length of the payload that
* follows (or the expected maximum number of bytes to receive). However,
* the length field of the libusb_transfer object must be the length of
* the data buffer - i.e. it should be wLength <em>plus</em> the size of
* the setup packet (LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE).
*
* If you use the helper functions, this is simplified for you:
* -# Allocate a buffer of size LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE plus the size of the
* data you are sending/requesting.
* -# Call libusb_fill_control_setup() on the data buffer, using the transfer
* request size as the wLength value (i.e. do not include the extra space you
* allocated for the control setup).
* -# If this is a host-to-device transfer, place the data to be transferred
* in the data buffer, starting at offset LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE.
* -# Call libusb_fill_control_transfer() to associate the data buffer with
* the transfer (and to set the remaining details such as callback and timeout).
* - Note that there is no parameter to set the length field of the transfer.
* The length is automatically inferred from the wLength field of the setup
* packet.
* -# Submit the transfer.
*
* The multi-byte control setup fields (wValue, wIndex and wLength) must
* be given in little-endian byte order (the endianness of the USB bus).
* Endianness conversion is transparently handled by
* libusb_fill_control_setup() which is documented to accept host-endian
* values.
*
* Further considerations are needed when handling transfer completion in
* your callback function:
* - As you might expect, the setup packet will still be sitting at the start
* of the data buffer.
* - If this was a device-to-host transfer, the received data will be sitting
* at offset LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE into the buffer.
* - The actual_length field of the transfer structure is relative to the
* wLength of the setup packet, rather than the size of the data buffer. So,
* if your wLength was 4, your transfer's <tt>length</tt> was 12, then you
* should expect an <tt>actual_length</tt> of 4 to indicate that the data was
* transferred in entirity.
*
* To simplify parsing of setup packets and obtaining the data from the
* correct offset, you may wish to use the libusb_control_transfer_get_data()
* and libusb_control_transfer_get_setup() functions within your transfer
* callback.
*
* Even though control endpoints do not halt, a completed control transfer
* may have a LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL status code. This indicates the control
* request was not supported.
*
* \section asyncintr Considerations for interrupt transfers
*
* All interrupt transfers are performed using the polling interval presented
* by the bInterval value of the endpoint descriptor.
*
* \section asynciso Considerations for isochronous transfers
*
* Isochronous transfers are more complicated than transfers to
* non-isochronous endpoints.
*
* To perform I/O to an isochronous endpoint, allocate the transfer by calling
* libusb_alloc_transfer() with an appropriate number of isochronous packets.
*
* During filling, set \ref libusb_transfer::type "type" to
* \ref libusb_transfer_type::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_TYPE_ISOCHRONOUS
* "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_TYPE_ISOCHRONOUS", and set
* \ref libusb_transfer::num_iso_packets "num_iso_packets" to a value less than
* or equal to the number of packets you requested during allocation.
* libusb_alloc_transfer() does not set either of these fields for you, given
* that you might not even use the transfer on an isochronous endpoint.
*
* Next, populate the length field for the first num_iso_packets entries in
* the \ref libusb_transfer::iso_packet_desc "iso_packet_desc" array. Section
* 5.6.3 of the USB2 specifications describe how the maximum isochronous
* packet length is determined by the wMaxPacketSize field in the endpoint
* descriptor.
* Two functions can help you here:
*
* - libusb_get_max_iso_packet_size() is an easy way to determine the max
* packet size for an isochronous endpoint. Note that the maximum packet
* size is actually the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted in
* a single microframe, therefore this function multiplies the maximum number
* of bytes per transaction by the number of transaction opportunities per
* microframe.
* - libusb_set_iso_packet_lengths() assigns the same length to all packets
* within a transfer, which is usually what you want.
*
* For outgoing transfers, you'll obviously fill the buffer and populate the
* packet descriptors in hope that all the data gets transferred. For incoming
* transfers, you must ensure the buffer has sufficient capacity for
* the situation where all packets transfer the full amount of requested data.
*
* Completion handling requires some extra consideration. The
* \ref libusb_transfer::actual_length "actual_length" field of the transfer
* is meaningless and should not be examined; instead you must refer to the
* \ref libusb_iso_packet_descriptor::actual_length "actual_length" field of
* each individual packet.
*
* The \ref libusb_transfer::status "status" field of the transfer is also a
* little misleading:
* - If the packets were submitted and the isochronous data microframes
* completed normally, status will have value
* \ref libusb_transfer_status::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_COMPLETED
* "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_COMPLETED". Note that bus errors and software-incurred
* delays are not counted as transfer errors; the transfer.status field may
* indicate COMPLETED even if some or all of the packets failed. Refer to
* the \ref libusb_iso_packet_descriptor::status "status" field of each
* individual packet to determine packet failures.
* - The status field will have value
* \ref libusb_transfer_status::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR
* "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR" only when serious errors were encountered.
* - Other transfer status codes occur with normal behaviour.
*
* The data for each packet will be found at an offset into the buffer that
* can be calculated as if each prior packet completed in full. The
* libusb_get_iso_packet_buffer() and libusb_get_iso_packet_buffer_simple()
* functions may help you here.
*
* \section asyncmem Memory caveats
*
* In most circumstances, it is not safe to use stack memory for transfer
* buffers. This is because the function that fired off the asynchronous
* transfer may return before libusbx has finished using the buffer, and when
* the function returns it's stack gets destroyed. This is true for both
* host-to-device and device-to-host transfers.
*
* The only case in which it is safe to use stack memory is where you can
* guarantee that the function owning the stack space for the buffer does not
* return until after the transfer's callback function has completed. In every
* other case, you need to use heap memory instead.
*
* \section asyncflags Fine control
*
* Through using this asynchronous interface, you may find yourself repeating
* a few simple operations many times. You can apply a bitwise OR of certain
* flags to a transfer to simplify certain things:
* - \ref libusb_transfer_flags::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_SHORT_NOT_OK
* "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_SHORT_NOT_OK" results in transfers which transferred
* less than the requested amount of data being marked with status
* \ref libusb_transfer_status::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR"
* (they would normally be regarded as COMPLETED)
* - \ref libusb_transfer_flags::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_BUFFER
* "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_BUFFER" allows you to ask libusbx to free the transfer
* buffer when freeing the transfer.
* - \ref libusb_transfer_flags::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_TRANSFER
* "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_TRANSFER" causes libusbx to automatically free the
* transfer after the transfer callback returns.
*
* \section asyncevent Event handling
*
* An asynchronous model requires that libusbx perform work at various
* points in time - namely processing the results of previously-submitted
* transfers and invoking the user-supplied callback function.
*
* This gives rise to the libusb_handle_events() function which your
* application must call into when libusbx has work do to. This gives libusbx
* the opportunity to reap pending transfers, invoke callbacks, etc.
*
* There are 2 different approaches to dealing with libusb_handle_events:
*
* -# Repeatedly call libusb_handle_events() in blocking mode from a dedicated
* thread.
* -# Integrate libusbx with your application's main event loop. libusbx
* exposes a set of file descriptors which allow you to do this.
*
* The first approach has the big advantage that it will also work on Windows
* were libusbx' poll API for select / poll integration is not available. So
* if you want to support Windows and use the async API, you must use this
* approach, see the \ref eventthread "Using an event handling thread" section
* below for details.
*
* If you prefer a single threaded approach with a single central event loop,
* see the \ref poll "polling and timing" section for how to integrate libusbx
* into your application's main event loop.
*
* \section eventthread Using an event handling thread
*
* Lets begin with stating the obvious: If you're going to use a separate
* thread for libusbx event handling, your callback functions MUST be
* threadsafe.
*
* Other then that doing event handling from a separate thread, is mostly
* simple. You can use an event thread function as follows:
\code
void *event_thread_func(void *ctx)
{
while (event_thread_run)
libusb_handle_events(ctx);
return NULL;
}
\endcode
*
* There is one caveat though, stopping this thread requires setting the
* event_thread_run variable to 0, and after that libusb_handle_events() needs
* to return control to event_thread_func. But unless some event happens,
* libusb_handle_events() will not return.
*
* There are 2 different ways of dealing with this, depending on if your
* application uses libusbx' \ref hotplug "hotplug" support or not.
*
* Applications which do not use hotplug support, should not start the event
* thread until after their first call to libusb_open(), and should stop the
* thread when closing the last open device as follows:
\code
void my_close_handle(libusb_device_handle *handle)
{
if (open_devs == 1)
event_thread_run = 0;
libusb_close(handle); // This wakes up libusb_handle_events()
if (open_devs == 1)
pthread_join(event_thread);
open_devs--;
}
\endcode
*
* Applications using hotplug support should start the thread at program init,
* after having successfully called libusb_hotplug_register_callback(), and
* should stop the thread at program exit as follows:
\code
void my_libusb_exit(void)
{
event_thread_run = 0;
libusb_hotplug_deregister_callback(ctx, hotplug_cb_handle); // This wakes up libusb_handle_events()
pthread_join(event_thread);
libusb_exit(ctx);
}
\endcode
*/
/**
* @defgroup poll Polling and timing
*
* This page documents libusbx's functions for polling events and timing.
* These functions are only necessary for users of the
* \ref asyncio "asynchronous API". If you are only using the simpler
* \ref syncio "synchronous API" then you do not need to ever call these
* functions.
*
* The justification for the functionality described here has already been
* discussed in the \ref asyncevent "event handling" section of the
* asynchronous API documentation. In summary, libusbx does not create internal
* threads for event processing and hence relies on your application calling
* into libusbx at certain points in time so that pending events can be handled.
*
* Your main loop is probably already calling poll() or select() or a
* variant on a set of file descriptors for other event sources (e.g. keyboard
* button presses, mouse movements, network sockets, etc). You then add
* libusbx's file descriptors to your poll()/select() calls, and when activity
* is detected on such descriptors you know it is time to call
* libusb_handle_events().
*
* There is one final event handling complication. libusbx supports
* asynchronous transfers which time out after a specified time period.
*
* On some platforms a timerfd is used, so the timeout handling is just another
* fd, on other platforms this requires that libusbx is called into at or after
* the timeout to handle it. So, in addition to considering libusbx's file
* descriptors in your main event loop, you must also consider that libusbx
* sometimes needs to be called into at fixed points in time even when there
* is no file descriptor activity, see \ref polltime details.
*
* In order to know precisely when libusbx needs to be called into, libusbx
* offers you a set of pollable file descriptors and information about when
* the next timeout expires.
*
* If you are using the asynchronous I/O API, you must take one of the two
* following options, otherwise your I/O will not complete.
*
* \section pollsimple The simple option
*
* If your application revolves solely around libusbx and does not need to
* handle other event sources, you can have a program structure as follows:
\code
// initialize libusbx
// find and open device
// maybe fire off some initial async I/O
while (user_has_not_requested_exit)
libusb_handle_events(ctx);
// clean up and exit
\endcode
*
* With such a simple main loop, you do not have to worry about managing
* sets of file descriptors or handling timeouts. libusb_handle_events() will
* handle those details internally.
*
* \section pollmain The more advanced option
*
* \note This functionality is currently only available on Unix-like platforms.
* On Windows, libusb_get_pollfds() simply returns NULL. Applications which
* want to support Windows are advised to use an \ref eventthread
* "event handling thread" instead.
*
* In more advanced applications, you will already have a main loop which
* is monitoring other event sources: network sockets, X11 events, mouse
* movements, etc. Through exposing a set of file descriptors, libusbx is
* designed to cleanly integrate into such main loops.
*
* In addition to polling file descriptors for the other event sources, you
* take a set of file descriptors from libusbx and monitor those too. When you
* detect activity on libusbx's file descriptors, you call
* libusb_handle_events_timeout() in non-blocking mode.
*
* What's more, libusbx may also need to handle events at specific moments in
* time. No file descriptor activity is generated at these times, so your
* own application needs to be continually aware of when the next one of these
* moments occurs (through calling libusb_get_next_timeout()), and then it
* needs to call libusb_handle_events_timeout() in non-blocking mode when
* these moments occur. This means that you need to adjust your
* poll()/select() timeout accordingly.
*
* libusbx provides you with a set of file descriptors to poll and expects you
* to poll all of them, treating them as a single entity. The meaning of each
* file descriptor in the set is an internal implementation detail,
* platform-dependent and may vary from release to release. Don't try and
* interpret the meaning of the file descriptors, just do as libusbx indicates,
* polling all of them at once.
*
* In pseudo-code, you want something that looks like:
\code
// initialise libusbx
libusb_get_pollfds(ctx)
while (user has not requested application exit) {
libusb_get_next_timeout(ctx);
poll(on libusbx file descriptors plus any other event sources of interest,
using a timeout no larger than the value libusbx just suggested)
if (poll() indicated activity on libusbx file descriptors)
libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, &zero_tv);
if (time has elapsed to or beyond the libusbx timeout)
libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, &zero_tv);
// handle events from other sources here
}
// clean up and exit
\endcode
*
* \subsection polltime Notes on time-based events
*
* The above complication with having to track time and call into libusbx at
* specific moments is a bit of a headache. For maximum compatibility, you do
* need to write your main loop as above, but you may decide that you can
* restrict the supported platforms of your application and get away with
* a more simplistic scheme.
*
* These time-based event complications are \b not required on the following
* platforms:
* - Darwin
* - Linux, provided that the following version requirements are satisfied:
* - Linux v2.6.27 or newer, compiled with timerfd support
* - glibc v2.9 or newer
* - libusbx v1.0.5 or newer
*
* Under these configurations, libusb_get_next_timeout() will \em always return
* 0, so your main loop can be simplified to:
\code
// initialise libusbx
libusb_get_pollfds(ctx)
while (user has not requested application exit) {
poll(on libusbx file descriptors plus any other event sources of interest,
using any timeout that you like)
if (poll() indicated activity on libusbx file descriptors)
libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, &zero_tv);
// handle events from other sources here
}
// clean up and exit
\endcode
*
* Do remember that if you simplify your main loop to the above, you will
* lose compatibility with some platforms (including legacy Linux platforms,
* and <em>any future platforms supported by libusbx which may have time-based
* event requirements</em>). The resultant problems will likely appear as
* strange bugs in your application.
*
* You can use the libusb_pollfds_handle_timeouts() function to do a runtime
* check to see if it is safe to ignore the time-based event complications.
* If your application has taken the shortcut of ignoring libusbx's next timeout
* in your main loop, then you are advised to check the return value of
* libusb_pollfds_handle_timeouts() during application startup, and to abort
* if the platform does suffer from these timing complications.
*
* \subsection fdsetchange Changes in the file descriptor set
*
* The set of file descriptors that libusbx uses as event sources may change
* during the life of your application. Rather than having to repeatedly
* call libusb_get_pollfds(), you can set up notification functions for when
* the file descriptor set changes using libusb_set_pollfd_notifiers().
*
* \subsection mtissues Multi-threaded considerations
*
* Unfortunately, the situation is complicated further when multiple threads
* come into play. If two threads are monitoring the same file descriptors,
* the fact that only one thread will be woken up when an event occurs causes
* some headaches.
*
* The events lock, event waiters lock, and libusb_handle_events_locked()
* entities are added to solve these problems. You do not need to be concerned
* with these entities otherwise.
*
* See the extra documentation: \ref mtasync
*/
/** \page mtasync Multi-threaded applications and asynchronous I/O
*
* libusbx is a thread-safe library, but extra considerations must be applied
* to applications which interact with libusbx from multiple threads.
*
* The underlying issue that must be addressed is that all libusbx I/O
* revolves around monitoring file descriptors through the poll()/select()
* system calls. This is directly exposed at the
* \ref asyncio "asynchronous interface" but it is important to note that the
* \ref syncio "synchronous interface" is implemented on top of the
* asynchonrous interface, therefore the same considerations apply.
*
* The issue is that if two or more threads are concurrently calling poll()
* or select() on libusbx's file descriptors then only one of those threads
* will be woken up when an event arrives. The others will be completely
* oblivious that anything has happened.
*
* Consider the following pseudo-code, which submits an asynchronous transfer
* then waits for its completion. This style is one way you could implement a
* synchronous interface on top of the asynchronous interface (and libusbx
* does something similar, albeit more advanced due to the complications
* explained on this page).
*
\code
void cb(struct libusb_transfer *transfer)
{
int *completed = transfer->user_data;
*completed = 1;
}
void myfunc() {
struct libusb_transfer *transfer;
unsigned char buffer[LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE] __attribute__ ((aligned (2)));
int completed = 0;
transfer = libusb_alloc_transfer(0);
libusb_fill_control_setup(buffer,
LIBUSB_REQUEST_TYPE_VENDOR | LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_OUT, 0x04, 0x01, 0, 0);
libusb_fill_control_transfer(transfer, dev, buffer, cb, &completed, 1000);
libusb_submit_transfer(transfer);
while (!completed) {
poll(libusbx file descriptors, 120*1000);
if (poll indicates activity)
libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, &zero_tv);
}
printf("completed!");
// other code here
}
\endcode
*
* Here we are <em>serializing</em> completion of an asynchronous event
* against a condition - the condition being completion of a specific transfer.
* The poll() loop has a long timeout to minimize CPU usage during situations
* when nothing is happening (it could reasonably be unlimited).
*
* If this is the only thread that is polling libusbx's file descriptors, there
* is no problem: there is no danger that another thread will swallow up the
* event that we are interested in. On the other hand, if there is another
* thread polling the same descriptors, there is a chance that it will receive
* the event that we were interested in. In this situation, <tt>myfunc()</tt>
* will only realise that the transfer has completed on the next iteration of
* the loop, <em>up to 120 seconds later.</em> Clearly a two-minute delay is
* undesirable, and don't even think about using short timeouts to circumvent
* this issue!
*
* The solution here is to ensure that no two threads are ever polling the
* file descriptors at the same time. A naive implementation of this would
* impact the capabilities of the library, so libusbx offers the scheme
* documented below to ensure no loss of functionality.
*
* Before we go any further, it is worth mentioning that all libusb-wrapped
* event handling procedures fully adhere to the scheme documented below.
* This includes libusb_handle_events() and its variants, and all the
* synchronous I/O functions - libusbx hides this headache from you.
*
* \section Using libusb_handle_events() from multiple threads
*
* Even when only using libusb_handle_events() and synchronous I/O functions,
* you can still have a race condition. You might be tempted to solve the
* above with libusb_handle_events() like so:
*
\code
libusb_submit_transfer(transfer);
while (!completed) {
libusb_handle_events(ctx);
}
printf("completed!");
\endcode
*
* This however has a race between the checking of completed and
* libusb_handle_events() acquiring the events lock, so another thread
* could have completed the transfer, resulting in this thread hanging
* until either a timeout or another event occurs. See also commit
* 6696512aade99bb15d6792af90ae329af270eba6 which fixes this in the
* synchronous API implementation of libusb.
*
* Fixing this race requires checking the variable completed only after
* taking the event lock, which defeats the concept of just calling
* libusb_handle_events() without worrying about locking. This is why
* libusb-1.0.9 introduces the new libusb_handle_events_timeout_completed()
* and libusb_handle_events_completed() functions, which handles doing the
* completion check for you after they have acquired the lock:
*
\code
libusb_submit_transfer(transfer);
while (!completed) {
libusb_handle_events_completed(ctx, &completed);
}
printf("completed!");
\endcode
*
* This nicely fixes the race in our example. Note that if all you want to
* do is submit a single transfer and wait for its completion, then using
* one of the synchronous I/O functions is much easier.
*
* \section eventlock The events lock
*
* The problem is when we consider the fact that libusbx exposes file
* descriptors to allow for you to integrate asynchronous USB I/O into
* existing main loops, effectively allowing you to do some work behind
* libusbx's back. If you do take libusbx's file descriptors and pass them to
* poll()/select() yourself, you need to be aware of the associated issues.
*
* The first concept to be introduced is the events lock. The events lock
* is used to serialize threads that want to handle events, such that only
* one thread is handling events at any one time.
*
* You must take the events lock before polling libusbx file descriptors,
* using libusb_lock_events(). You must release the lock as soon as you have
* aborted your poll()/select() loop, using libusb_unlock_events().
*
* \section threadwait Letting other threads do the work for you
*
* Although the events lock is a critical part of the solution, it is not
* enough on it's own. You might wonder if the following is sufficient...
\code
libusb_lock_events(ctx);
while (!completed) {
poll(libusbx file descriptors, 120*1000);
if (poll indicates activity)
libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, &zero_tv);
}
libusb_unlock_events(ctx);
\endcode
* ...and the answer is that it is not. This is because the transfer in the
* code shown above may take a long time (say 30 seconds) to complete, and
* the lock is not released until the transfer is completed.
*
* Another thread with similar code that wants to do event handling may be
* working with a transfer that completes after a few milliseconds. Despite
* having such a quick completion time, the other thread cannot check that
* status of its transfer until the code above has finished (30 seconds later)
* due to contention on the lock.
*
* To solve this, libusbx offers you a mechanism to determine when another
* thread is handling events. It also offers a mechanism to block your thread
* until the event handling thread has completed an event (and this mechanism
* does not involve polling of file descriptors).
*
* After determining that another thread is currently handling events, you
* obtain the <em>event waiters</em> lock using libusb_lock_event_waiters().
* You then re-check that some other thread is still handling events, and if
* so, you call libusb_wait_for_event().
*
* libusb_wait_for_event() puts your application to sleep until an event
* occurs, or until a thread releases the events lock. When either of these
* things happen, your thread is woken up, and should re-check the condition
* it was waiting on. It should also re-check that another thread is handling
* events, and if not, it should start handling events itself.
*
* This looks like the following, as pseudo-code:
\code
retry:
if (libusb_try_lock_events(ctx) == 0) {
// we obtained the event lock: do our own event handling
while (!completed) {
if (!libusb_event_handling_ok(ctx)) {
libusb_unlock_events(ctx);
goto retry;
}
poll(libusbx file descriptors, 120*1000);
if (poll indicates activity)
libusb_handle_events_locked(ctx, 0);
}
libusb_unlock_events(ctx);
} else {
// another thread is doing event handling. wait for it to signal us that
// an event has completed
libusb_lock_event_waiters(ctx);
while (!completed) {
// now that we have the event waiters lock, double check that another
// thread is still handling events for us. (it may have ceased handling
// events in the time it took us to reach this point)
if (!libusb_event_handler_active(ctx)) {
// whoever was handling events is no longer doing so, try again
libusb_unlock_event_waiters(ctx);
goto retry;
}
libusb_wait_for_event(ctx, NULL);
}
libusb_unlock_event_waiters(ctx);
}
printf("completed!\n");
\endcode
*
* A naive look at the above code may suggest that this can only support
* one event waiter (hence a total of 2 competing threads, the other doing
* event handling), because the event waiter seems to have taken the event
* waiters lock while waiting for an event. However, the system does support
* multiple event waiters, because libusb_wait_for_event() actually drops
* the lock while waiting, and reaquires it before continuing.
*
* We have now implemented code which can dynamically handle situations where
* nobody is handling events (so we should do it ourselves), and it can also
* handle situations where another thread is doing event handling (so we can
* piggyback onto them). It is also equipped to handle a combination of
* the two, for example, another thread is doing event handling, but for
* whatever reason it stops doing so before our condition is met, so we take
* over the event handling.
*
* Four functions were introduced in the above pseudo-code. Their importance
* should be apparent from the code shown above.
* -# libusb_try_lock_events() is a non-blocking function which attempts
* to acquire the events lock but returns a failure code if it is contended.
* -# libusb_event_handling_ok() checks that libusbx is still happy for your
* thread to be performing event handling. Sometimes, libusbx needs to
* interrupt the event handler, and this is how you can check if you have
* been interrupted. If this function returns 0, the correct behaviour is
* for you to give up the event handling lock, and then to repeat the cycle.
* The following libusb_try_lock_events() will fail, so you will become an
* events waiter. For more information on this, read \ref fullstory below.
* -# libusb_handle_events_locked() is a variant of
* libusb_handle_events_timeout() that you can call while holding the
* events lock. libusb_handle_events_timeout() itself implements similar
* logic to the above, so be sure not to call it when you are
* "working behind libusbx's back", as is the case here.
* -# libusb_event_handler_active() determines if someone is currently
* holding the events lock
*
* You might be wondering why there is no function to wake up all threads
* blocked on libusb_wait_for_event(). This is because libusbx can do this
* internally: it will wake up all such threads when someone calls
* libusb_unlock_events() or when a transfer completes (at the point after its
* callback has returned).
*
* \subsection fullstory The full story
*
* The above explanation should be enough to get you going, but if you're
* really thinking through the issues then you may be left with some more
* questions regarding libusbx's internals. If you're curious, read on, and if
* not, skip to the next section to avoid confusing yourself!
*
* The immediate question that may spring to mind is: what if one thread
* modifies the set of file descriptors that need to be polled while another
* thread is doing event handling?
*
* There are 2 situations in which this may happen.
* -# libusb_open() will add another file descriptor to the poll set,
* therefore it is desirable to interrupt the event handler so that it
* restarts, picking up the new descriptor.
* -# libusb_close() will remove a file descriptor from the poll set. There
* are all kinds of race conditions that could arise here, so it is
* important that nobody is doing event handling at this time.
*
* libusbx handles these issues internally, so application developers do not
* have to stop their event handlers while opening/closing devices. Here's how
* it works, focusing on the libusb_close() situation first:
*
* -# During initialization, libusbx opens an internal pipe, and it adds the read
* end of this pipe to the set of file descriptors to be polled.
* -# During libusb_close(), libusbx writes some dummy data on this control pipe.
* This immediately interrupts the event handler. libusbx also records
* internally that it is trying to interrupt event handlers for this
* high-priority event.
* -# At this point, some of the functions described above start behaving
* differently:
* - libusb_event_handling_ok() starts returning 1, indicating that it is NOT
* OK for event handling to continue.
* - libusb_try_lock_events() starts returning 1, indicating that another
* thread holds the event handling lock, even if the lock is uncontended.
* - libusb_event_handler_active() starts returning 1, indicating that
* another thread is doing event handling, even if that is not true.
* -# The above changes in behaviour result in the event handler stopping and
* giving up the events lock very quickly, giving the high-priority
* libusb_close() operation a "free ride" to acquire the events lock. All
* threads that are competing to do event handling become event waiters.
* -# With the events lock held inside libusb_close(), libusbx can safely remove
* a file descriptor from the poll set, in the safety of knowledge that
* nobody is polling those descriptors or trying to access the poll set.
* -# After obtaining the events lock, the close operation completes very
* quickly (usually a matter of milliseconds) and then immediately releases
* the events lock.
* -# At the same time, the behaviour of libusb_event_handling_ok() and friends
* reverts to the original, documented behaviour.
* -# The release of the events lock causes the threads that are waiting for
* events to be woken up and to start competing to become event handlers
* again. One of them will succeed; it will then re-obtain the list of poll
* descriptors, and USB I/O will then continue as normal.
*
* libusb_open() is similar, and is actually a more simplistic case. Upon a
* call to libusb_open():
*
* -# The device is opened and a file descriptor is added to the poll set.
* -# libusbx sends some dummy data on the control pipe, and records that it
* is trying to modify the poll descriptor set.
* -# The event handler is interrupted, and the same behaviour change as for
* libusb_close() takes effect, causing all event handling threads to become
* event waiters.
* -# The libusb_open() implementation takes its free ride to the events lock.
* -# Happy that it has successfully paused the events handler, libusb_open()
* releases the events lock.
* -# The event waiter threads are all woken up and compete to become event
* handlers again. The one that succeeds will obtain the list of poll
* descriptors again, which will include the addition of the new device.
*
* \subsection concl Closing remarks
*
* The above may seem a little complicated, but hopefully I have made it clear
* why such complications are necessary. Also, do not forget that this only
* applies to applications that take libusbx's file descriptors and integrate
* them into their own polling loops.
*
* You may decide that it is OK for your multi-threaded application to ignore
* some of the rules and locks detailed above, because you don't think that
* two threads can ever be polling the descriptors at the same time. If that
* is the case, then that's good news for you because you don't have to worry.
* But be careful here; remember that the synchronous I/O functions do event
* handling internally. If you have one thread doing event handling in a loop
* (without implementing the rules and locking semantics documented above)
* and another trying to send a synchronous USB transfer, you will end up with
* two threads monitoring the same descriptors, and the above-described
* undesirable behaviour occuring. The solution is for your polling thread to
* play by the rules; the synchronous I/O functions do so, and this will result
* in them getting along in perfect harmony.
*
* If you do have a dedicated thread doing event handling, it is perfectly
* legal for it to take the event handling lock for long periods of time. Any
* synchronous I/O functions you call from other threads will transparently
* fall back to the "event waiters" mechanism detailed above. The only
* consideration that your event handling thread must apply is the one related
* to libusb_event_handling_ok(): you must call this before every poll(), and
* give up the events lock if instructed.
