[PATCH 2/6] staging: greybus/operation: add generic asynchronous operation support

Mon Nov 21 17:22:15 UTC 2016


This patch adds asynchronous Greybus operation support to operation.c.
After doing a gb_operation_request_send() it schedules a delayed worker.
When the delayed worker's timer expires the worker runs and does a
gb_operation_cancel(). A gb_operation_cancel() operation will result in the
operation completion callback being called with -ETIMEDOUT as the result
code. If an operation completion has already taken place then the
gb_operation_cancel() has no effect. This patch means the each driver doing
asynchronous operations doesn't have to have its own special timeout
mechanisms, it just waits for operation.c to provide it with the
appropriate status code for a given operation.
