i2c_smbus_write_i2c_block_data() does not return the number of bytes written.
It returns either 0 or an error code.

The series doesn't explain what a driver is supposed to do if it
only transfers part of the data but not all of it due to an error,
or because the request exceeded the size of the media.

For example, this driver still returns an error code if it successfully
transferred some data but not all of it, or if more data was requested
than is available.

I didn't check other drivers, but I would assume that many of them
have the same or a similar problem.

This breaks the build so it's not allowed. The way to do it is to:
1) add a new pointer which takes a ssize_t
2) convert everything to the new pointer
3) Rename the new pointer to the old name

So the original bug was that rmem_read() is returning positive values
on success instead of zero[1]. That started a discussion about partial
reads which resulted in changing the API to support partial reads[2].
That patchset broke the build. This patchset is trying to fix the
build breakage.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

The bug in rmem_read() is still not fixed. That needs to be fixed as
a stand alone patch. We can discuss re-writing the API separately.

These functions are used internally and exported to the user through
sysfs via bin_attr_nvmem_read/write(). For internal users partial reads
should be treated as failure. What are we supposed to do with a partial
read? I don't think anyone has asked for partial reads to be supported
from sysfs either except Greg was wondering about it while reading the
code.

Currently, a lot of drivers return -EINVAL for partial read/writes but
some return success. It is a bit messy. But this patchset doesn't
really improve anything. In at24_read() we check if it's going to be a
partial read and return -EINVAL. Below we report a partial read as a
full read. It's just a more complicated way of doing exactly what we
were doing before.

drivers/misc/eeprom/at25.c
198 static int at25_ee_write(void *priv, unsigned int off, void *val, size_t count)
199 {
200 struct at25_data *at25 = priv;
201 size_t maxsz = spi_max_transfer_size(at25->spi);
New: size_t bytes_written = count;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is not the number of bytes written.

202 const char *buf = val;
203 int status = 0;
204 unsigned buf_size;
205 u8 *bounce;
206
207 if (unlikely(off >= at25->chip.byte_len))
208 return -EFBIG;
209 if ((off + count) > at25->chip.byte_len)
210 count = at25->chip.byte_len - off;
^^^^^
This is.

211 if (unlikely(!count))
212 return -EINVAL;
213
214 /* Temp buffer starts with command and address */
215 buf_size = at25->chip.page_size;
216 if (buf_size > io_limit)
217 buf_size = io_limit;
218 bounce = kmalloc(buf_size + at25->addrlen + 1, GFP_KERNEL);
219 if (!bounce)
220 return -ENOMEM;

Ack, I see only i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() returns the number of
bytes read . Will fix it next revision.

True, fixing the return type would fix that as well is what I thought
but maybe yes we need to fix that separately as well.

Currently what drivers return is up to their interpretation of int
return type, there are a few drivers which also return the number of
bytes written/read already like
drivers/misc/mchp_pci1xxxx/mchp_pci1xxxx_otpe2p.c .
The objective of the patch was to handle partial reads and errors at
the nvmem core and instead of leaving it up to each nvmem provider by
providing a better return value to nvmem providers.

Regarding drivers/misc/eeprom/at25.c which you pointed below, that is
a problem in my code change. I missed that count was modified later on
and should initialize bytes_written to the new value of count, will
fix that when I come up with the new patch.

I agree that it does not improve anything for a lot of nvmem providers
for example the ones which call into other reg_map_read/write apis
which do not return the number of bytes read/written but it does help
us do better error handling at the nvmem core layer for nvmem
providers who can return the valid number of bytes read/written.

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions on how to handle
this better.

Thanks
Joy

This patch series is actually a follow up on
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
which has now been reverted . I shall try to collate it and send it

Returning non-zero is a bug. It won't break bin_attr_nvmem_read/write()
but it will break other places like nvmem_access_with_keepouts(),
__nvmem_cell_read() and nvmem_cell_prepare_write_buffer() where all
non-zero returns from nvmem_reg_read() are treated as an error.

If we're going to support partial writes, then it needs to be done all
the way. We need to audit functions like at24_read() and remove the
-EINVAL lines.

440 if (off + count > at24->byte_len)
441 return -EINVAL;

It should be:

if (off + count > at24->byte_len)
count = at24->byte_len - off;

Some drivers handle writing zero bytes as -EINVAL and some return 0.
Those changes could be done before we change the API.

You updated nvmem_access_with_keepouts() to handle negative returns but
not zero returns so it could lead to a forever loop.

This is called like:

574 ret = at24_read(at24, 2, &val, 1);
575 if (ret || val != 11)
576 return;

So this breaks the driver.

Yes, I will resend the patch to fix that.

Sure, we can do it in a phased manner like you suggested in another
reply by creating new pointers and slowly moving each driver to the
new pointer and then deprecating the old one.

Yes, that is a possible case. Will rework it.

I agree with Dan, Lets fix the rmem_read and start working on the API
rework in parallel.

Am happy to pick the [1].
