Input: HIDDEV - make HIDIOCSREPORT wait IO completion
When trying to make the hiddev driver issue several Set_Report control transfers to a custom device with 2.6.13-rc6, only the first transfer in a row is carried out, while others immediately following it are silently dropped. This happens where hid_submit_report() (in hid-core.c) tests for HID_CTRL_RUNNING, which seems to be still set because the first transfer is not finished yet. As a workaround, inserting a delay between the two calls to ioctl(HIDIOCSREPORT) in userspace "solves" the problem. The straightforward fix is to add a call to hid_wait_io() to the implementation of HIDIOCSREPORT (in hiddev.c), just like for HIDIOCGREPORT. Works fine for me. Apparently, this issue has some history: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-users&m=111100670105558&w=2Signed-off-by: Stefan Nickl <Stefan.Nickl@kontron.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
