For old style drivers, call a call to ioctl(..., RTC_ALM_SET, ...):
- char/ds1302.c will always return -EINVAL
- char/genrtc.c: will always return -EINVAL
- char/rtc.c will succeed regardless if IRQs are supported or not
- char/efirtc.c will always return -EINVAL
- input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c ... that ioctl code is a good lesson about
ifdefing code out and punting implementation ... and it will
always return -EINVAL
For new style rtc drivers, a call to ioctl(..., RTC_ALM_SET, ...) never
results in a call to __rtc_set_alarm, since struct rtc_wkalarm passed to
rtc_set_alarm has 'enabled' field set to 0. This means that
rtc->ops->set_alarm driver hook is never called in that ioctl. Since no
driver code interaction happens as a part of that call, using its
results to ascertain properties of the driver is not going to work. To
remedy this - use the result of RTC_AIE_ON to make the judgement.
This patch also changes ENOTTY to EINVAL as an error code value that
would tell us that IRQs are not supported. There are three reason for
this:
- As mentioned above old style driver never returns ENOTTY for this
ioctl
- In it's code __rtc_set_alarm() returns -EINVAL if rtc->ops->set_alarm
method is not provided by the driver, so one reason for change is to
be consistent with that code path.
- A call to ioctl(..., RTC_UIE_ON, ...) will result in a call to
rtc_update_irq_enable() and then __rtc_set_alarm(), which, if IRQs
are not supported by the driver, will result in a non-zero error
code. Returning ENOTTY in that case would:
a) Not be consistent with other codepaths of
rtc_update_irq_enable, for example the check of
rtc->uie_unsupported
b) Would break update IRQ emulation code since that codpath
expects EINVAL
c) Would break test's logic for feature support detection in
the case of RTC_UIE_ON ioctl
