Add two new functions, led_blink_set_oneshot and
led_trigger_blink_oneshot, to be used by triggers for one-shot blink of
led devices.
This is implemented extending the existing software-blink code, and uses
the same timer and handler function.
The behavior of the code is to do a blink-on, blink-off sequence when
the function is called, ignoring other calls until the sequence is
completed so that the leds keep blinking at constant rate if the
functions are called repeatedly.
This is meant to be used by drivers which needs to trigger on sporadic
events, but doesn't have clear busy/idle trigger points.
After the blink sequence the led remains off. This behavior can be
inverted setting the "invert" argument, blinking the led off, than on
and leaving the led on after the sequence.

Hello everyone,
I'm posting this one following a discussion on the linux-can list about the
implementation of led triggers for tx/rx events of socketcan devices and as
a reply for the recent patches from Shuah Khan about the transient led
triggers.
This patch adds one-shot blink functions similar to the ones used for normal
blink configuration, and are meant to be used to trigger blinking on
sporadic events.
My proposed implementation was similar to the ledtrig-ide-disk and the xt_LED
ones, and was to use a dedicated timer for each event with a simple logic to
keep the led blinking at a constant rate under heavy load of the bus. The reason was that the led was also used to indicate interface state, as in:
- led ON: interface up
- led OFF: interface down
- led blinking: bus activity
Of course this is similar to how ethernet interface LEDs works.
My original patch can be found in this post:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.can/1085
Now, i think that the framework specific implementation was clean and
lightweight (the mod_timer has to be called in hardirq context after all),
but the guys on the list pointed out that adding another one-shot-blink
implementation was redundant and asked to re-implement the blink-part as a
led-framework extension, as least to discuss about what's the better way to
do the job... so I gave it a shot!
The implementation re-used most of the current soft-blink code, modifiying it
in the following way:
- add a _oneshoot function to both led_trigger_blink and led_blink_set,
moving the common code into two _setup functions;
- add three flags to track the blink status and configuration for the led
(oneshot or normal blink, stop after timer, inverted logic);
- modify led_timer_function to add necessary stop-timer logic;
Again, the timer-retriggering logic has been implemented to keep the led
blinking at constant rate if led_blink_set_oneshot is called quicker than the
blink rate (that's what the STOP flag is used for).
That's it, tested on an x86 with a stub driver not worth posting and a
with a modified version of my original can-led patch.
Altrough this code was meant for device drivers, it looks quite similar to
what was discussed into the "transient trigger for one shot timer activation"
patches from Shuah Khan, so I think that Shuah's trigger may be implemented
on this functions similarly to how ledtrig-timer works for normal blinking.
About the RFC, I was looking forward to discuss about this points:
- do you think is worth implementing some grade of generic trigger logic like
this one into the led framework, or it just have to be kept as a simple
abstraction for led-on/led-off event with just normal blink as special case
(because it can be hardware assisted)? This is because I feel that this
patch is polluting the code a bit.
- specifically to my can-led patch linked above, considering that some code
(can_led_event) is ending up in hard-irq context and the led is going to
retrigger quite often, do you think is worth going to a more optimized
framework-specific implementation or it's better to come up with some
generic code for it?
Regards,
Fabio
