36 * \page io Synchronous and asynchronous device I/O
38 * \section intro Introduction
40 * If you're using libusb in your application, you're probably wanting to
41 * perform I/O with devices - you want to perform USB data transfers.
43 * libusb offers two separate interfaces for device I/O. This page aims to
44 * introduce the two in order to help you decide which one is more suitable
45 * for your application. You can also choose to use both interfaces in your
46 * application by considering each transfer on a case-by-case basis.
48 * Once you have read through the following discussion, you should consult the
49 * detailed API documentation pages for the details:
53 * \section theory Transfers at a logical level
55 * At a logical level, USB transfers typically happen in two parts. For
56 * example, when reading data from a endpoint:
57 * -# A request for data is sent to the device
58 * -# Some time later, the incoming data is received by the host
60 * or when writing data to an endpoint:
62 * -# The data is sent to the device
63 * -# Some time later, the host receives acknowledgement from the device that
64 * the data has been transferred.
66 * There may be an indefinite delay between the two steps. Consider a
67 * fictional USB input device with a button that the user can press. In order
68 * to determine when the button is pressed, you would likely submit a request
69 * to read data on a bulk or interrupt endpoint and wait for data to arrive.
70 * Data will arrive when the button is pressed by the user, which is
71 * potentially hours later.
73 * libusb offers both a synchronous and an asynchronous interface to performing
74 * USB transfers. The main difference is that the synchronous interface
75 * combines both steps indicated above into a single function call, whereas
76 * the asynchronous interface separates them.
78 * \section sync The synchronous interface
80 * The synchronous I/O interface allows you to perform a USB transfer with
81 * a single function call. When the function call returns, the transfer has
82 * completed and you can parse the results.
84 * If you have used the libusb-0.1 before, this I/O style will seem familar to
85 * you. libusb-0.1 only offered a synchronous interface.
87 * In our input device example, to read button presses you might write code
88 * in the following style:
90 unsigned char data[4];
92 int r = libusb_bulk_transfer(handle, EP_IN, data, sizeof(data), &actual_length, 0);
93 if (r == 0 && actual_length == sizeof(data)) {
94 // results of the transaction can now be found in the data buffer
95 // parse them here and report button press
101 * The main advantage of this model is simplicity: you did everything with
102 * a single simple function call.
104 * However, this interface has its limitations. Your application will sleep
105 * inside libusb_bulk_transfer() until the transaction has completed. If it
106 * takes the user 3 hours to press the button, your application will be
107 * sleeping for that long. Execution will be tied up inside the library -
108 * the entire thread will be useless for that duration.
110 * Another issue is that by tieing up the thread with that single transaction
111 * there is no possibility of performing I/O with multiple endpoints and/or
112 * multiple devices simultaneously, unless you resort to creating one thread
115 * Additionally, there is no opportunity to cancel the transfer after the
116 * request has been submitted.
118 * For details on how to use the synchronous API, see the
119 * \ref syncio "synchronous I/O API documentation" pages.
121 * \section async The asynchronous interface
123 * Asynchronous I/O is the most significant new feature in libusb-1.0.
124 * Although it is a more complex interface, it solves all the issues detailed
127 * Instead of providing which functions that block until the I/O has complete,
128 * libusb's asynchronous interface presents non-blocking functions which
129 * begin a transfer and then return immediately. Your application passes a
130 * callback function pointer to this non-blocking function, which libusb will
131 * call with the results of the transaction when it has completed.
133 * Transfers which have been submitted through the non-blocking functions
134 * can be cancelled with a separate function call.
136 * The non-blocking nature of this interface allows you to be simultaneously
137 * performing I/O to multiple endpoints on multiple devices, without having
140 * This added flexibility does come with some complications though:
141 * - In the interest of being a lightweight library, libusb does not create
142 * threads and can only operate when your application is calling into it. Your
143 * application must call into libusb from it's main loop when events are ready
144 * to be handled, or you must use some other scheme to allow libusb to
145 * undertake whatever work needs to be done.
146 * - libusb also needs to be called into at certain fixed points in time in
147 * order to accurately handle transfer timeouts.
148 * - Memory handling becomes more complex. You cannot use stack memory unless
149 * the function with that stack is guaranteed not to return until the transfer
150 * callback has finished executing.
151 * - You generally lose some linearity from your code flow because submitting
152 * the transfer request is done in a separate function from where the transfer
153 * results are handled. This becomes particularly obvious when you want to
154 * submit a second transfer based on the results of an earlier transfer.
156 * Internally, libusb's synchronous interface is expressed in terms of function
157 * calls to the asynchronous interface.
159 * For details on how to use the asynchronous API, see the
160 * \ref asyncio "asynchronous I/O API" documentation pages.
165 * \page packetoverflow Packets and overflows
167 * \section packets Packet abstraction
169 * The USB specifications describe how data is transmitted in packets, with
170 * constraints on packet size defined by endpoint descriptors. The host must
171 * not send data payloads larger than the endpoint's maximum packet size.
173 * libusb and the underlying OS abstract out the packet concept, allowing you
174 * to request transfers of any size. Internally, the request will be divided
175 * up into correctly-sized packets. You do not have to be concerned with
176 * packet sizes, but there is one exception when considering overflows.
178 * \section overflow Bulk/interrupt transfer overflows
180 * When requesting data on a bulk endpoint, libusb requires you to supply a
181 * buffer and the maximum number of bytes of data that libusb can put in that
182 * buffer. However, the size of the buffer is not communicated to the device -
183 * the device is just asked to send any amount of data.
185 * There is no problem if the device sends an amount of data that is less than
186 * or equal to the buffer size. libusb reports this condition to you through
187 * the \ref libusb_transfer::actual_length "libusb_transfer.actual_length"
190 * Problems may occur if the device attempts to send more data than can fit in
191 * the buffer. libusb reports LIBUSB_TRANSFER_OVERFLOW for this condition but
192 * other behaviour is largely undefined: actual_length may or may not be
193 * accurate, the chunk of data that can fit in the buffer (before overflow)
194 * may or may not have been transferred.
196 * Overflows are nasty, but can be avoided. Even though you were told to
197 * ignore packets above, think about the lower level details: each transfer is
198 * split into packets (typically small, with a maximum size of 512 bytes).
199 * Overflows can only happen if the final packet in an incoming data transfer
200 * is smaller than the actual packet that the device wants to transfer.
201 * Therefore, you will never see an overflow if your transfer buffer size is a
202 * multiple of the endpoint's packet size: the final packet will either
203 * fill up completely or will be only partially filled.
207 * @defgroup asyncio Asynchronous device I/O
209 * This page details libusb's asynchronous (non-blocking) API for USB device
210 * I/O. This interface is very powerful but is also quite complex - you will
211 * need to read this page carefully to understand the necessary considerations
212 * and issues surrounding use of this interface. Simplistic applications
213 * may wish to consider the \ref syncio "synchronous I/O API" instead.
215 * The asynchronous interface is built around the idea of separating transfer
216 * submission and handling of transfer completion (the synchronous model
217 * combines both of these into one). There may be a long delay between
218 * submission and completion, however the asynchronous submission function
219 * is non-blocking so will return control to your application during that
220 * potentially long delay.
222 * \section asyncabstraction Transfer abstraction
224 * For the asynchronous I/O, libusb implements the concept of a generic
225 * transfer entity for all types of I/O (control, bulk, interrupt,
226 * isochronous). The generic transfer object must be treated slightly
227 * differently depending on which type of I/O you are performing with it.
229 * This is represented by the public libusb_transfer structure type.
231 * \section asynctrf Asynchronous transfers
233 * We can view asynchronous I/O as a 5 step process:
234 * -# <b>Allocation</b>: allocate a libusb_transfer
235 * -# <b>Filling</b>: populate the libusb_transfer instance with information
236 * about the transfer you wish to perform
237 * -# <b>Submission</b>: ask libusb to submit the transfer
238 * -# <b>Completion handling</b>: examine transfer results in the
239 * libusb_transfer structure
240 * -# <b>Deallocation</b>: clean up resources
243 * \subsection asyncalloc Allocation
245 * This step involves allocating memory for a USB transfer. This is the
246 * generic transfer object mentioned above. At this stage, the transfer
247 * is "blank" with no details about what type of I/O it will be used for.
249 * Allocation is done with the libusb_alloc_transfer() function. You must use
250 * this function rather than allocating your own transfers.
252 * \subsection asyncfill Filling
254 * This step is where you take a previously allocated transfer and fill it
255 * with information to determine the message type and direction, data buffer,
256 * callback function, etc.
258 * You can either fill the required fields yourself or you can use the
259 * helper functions: libusb_fill_control_transfer(), libusb_fill_bulk_transfer()
260 * and libusb_fill_interrupt_transfer().
262 * \subsection asyncsubmit Submission
264 * When you have allocated a transfer and filled it, you can submit it using
265 * libusb_submit_transfer(). This function returns immediately but can be
266 * regarded as firing off the I/O request in the background.
268 * \subsection asynccomplete Completion handling
270 * After a transfer has been submitted, one of four things can happen to it:
272 * - The transfer completes (i.e. some data was transferred)
273 * - The transfer has a timeout and the timeout expires before all data is
275 * - The transfer fails due to an error
276 * - The transfer is cancelled
278 * Each of these will cause the user-specified transfer callback function to
279 * be invoked. It is up to the callback function to determine which of the
280 * above actually happened and to act accordingly.
282 * The user-specified callback is passed a pointer to the libusb_transfer
283 * structure which was used to setup and submit the transfer. At completion
284 * time, libusb has populated this structure with results of the transfer:
285 * success or failure reason, number of bytes of data transferred, etc. See
286 * the libusb_transfer structure documentation for more information.
288 * \subsection Deallocation
290 * When a transfer has completed (i.e. the callback function has been invoked),
291 * you are advised to free the transfer (unless you wish to resubmit it, see
292 * below). Transfers are deallocated with libusb_free_transfer().
294 * It is undefined behaviour to free a transfer which has not completed.
296 * \section asyncresubmit Resubmission
298 * You may be wondering why allocation, filling, and submission are all
299 * separated above where they could reasonably be combined into a single
302 * The reason for separation is to allow you to resubmit transfers without
303 * having to allocate new ones every time. This is especially useful for
304 * common situations dealing with interrupt endpoints - you allocate one
305 * transfer, fill and submit it, and when it returns with results you just
306 * resubmit it for the next interrupt.
308 * \section asynccancel Cancellation
310 * Another advantage of using the asynchronous interface is that you have
311 * the ability to cancel transfers which have not yet completed. This is
312 * done by calling the libusb_cancel_transfer() function.
314 * libusb_cancel_transfer() is asynchronous/non-blocking in itself. When the
315 * cancellation actually completes, the transfer's callback function will
316 * be invoked, and the callback function should check the transfer status to
317 * determine that it was cancelled.
319 * Freeing the transfer after it has been cancelled but before cancellation
320 * has completed will result in undefined behaviour.
322 * \section bulk_overflows Overflows on device-to-host bulk/interrupt endpoints
324 * If your device does not have predictable transfer sizes (or it misbehaves),
325 * your application may submit a request for data on an IN endpoint which is
326 * smaller than the data that the device wishes to send. In some circumstances
327 * this will cause an overflow, which is a nasty condition to deal with. See
328 * the \ref packetoverflow page for discussion.
330 * \section asyncctrl Considerations for control transfers
332 * The <tt>libusb_transfer</tt> structure is generic and hence does not
333 * include specific fields for the control-specific setup packet structure.
335 * In order to perform a control transfer, you must place the 8-byte setup
336 * packet at the start of the data buffer. To simplify this, you could
337 * cast the buffer pointer to type struct libusb_control_setup, or you can
338 * use the helper function libusb_fill_control_setup().
340 * The wLength field placed in the setup packet must be the length you would
341 * expect to be sent in the setup packet: the length of the payload that
342 * follows (or the expected maximum number of bytes to receive). However,
343 * the length field of the libusb_transfer object must be the length of
344 * the data buffer - i.e. it should be wLength <em>plus</em> the size of
345 * the setup packet (LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE).
347 * If you use the helper functions, this is simplified for you:
348 * -# Allocate a buffer of size LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE plus the size of the
349 * data you are sending/requesting.
350 * -# Call libusb_fill_control_setup() on the data buffer, using the transfer
351 * request size as the wLength value (i.e. do not include the extra space you
352 * allocated for the control setup).
353 * -# If this is a host-to-device transfer, place the data to be transferred
354 * in the data buffer, starting at offset LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE.
355 * -# Call libusb_fill_control_transfer() to associate the data buffer with
356 * the transfer (and to set the remaining details such as callback and timeout).
357 * - Note that there is no parameter to set the length field of the transfer.
358 * The length is automatically inferred from the wLength field of the setup
360 * -# Submit the transfer.
362 * The multi-byte control setup fields (wValue, wIndex and wLength) must
363 * be given in little-endian byte order (the endianness of the USB bus).
364 * Endianness conversion is transparently handled by
365 * libusb_fill_control_setup() which is documented to accept host-endian
368 * Further considerations are needed when handling transfer completion in
369 * your callback function:
370 * - As you might expect, the setup packet will still be sitting at the start
371 * of the data buffer.
372 * - If this was a device-to-host transfer, the received data will be sitting
373 * at offset LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE into the buffer.
374 * - The actual_length field of the transfer structure is relative to the
375 * wLength of the setup packet, rather than the size of the data buffer. So,
376 * if your wLength was 4, your transfer's <tt>length</tt> was 12, then you
377 * should expect an <tt>actual_length</tt> of 4 to indicate that the data was
378 * transferred in entirity.
380 * To simplify parsing of setup packets and obtaining the data from the
381 * correct offset, you may wish to use the libusb_control_transfer_get_data()
382 * and libusb_control_transfer_get_setup() functions within your transfer
385 * Even though control endpoints do not halt, a completed control transfer
386 * may have a LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL status code. This indicates the control
387 * request was not supported.
389 * \section asyncintr Considerations for interrupt transfers
391 * All interrupt transfers are performed using the polling interval presented
392 * by the bInterval value of the endpoint descriptor.
394 * \section asynciso Considerations for isochronous transfers
396 * Isochronous transfers are more complicated than transfers to
397 * non-isochronous endpoints.
399 * To perform I/O to an isochronous endpoint, allocate the transfer by calling
400 * libusb_alloc_transfer() with an appropriate number of isochronous packets.
402 * During filling, set \ref libusb_transfer::type "type" to
403 * \ref libusb_transfer_type::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_TYPE_ISOCHRONOUS
404 * "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_TYPE_ISOCHRONOUS", and set
405 * \ref libusb_transfer::num_iso_packets "num_iso_packets" to a value less than
406 * or equal to the number of packets you requested during allocation.
407 * libusb_alloc_transfer() does not set either of these fields for you, given
408 * that you might not even use the transfer on an isochronous endpoint.
410 * Next, populate the length field for the first num_iso_packets entries in
411 * the \ref libusb_transfer::iso_packet_desc "iso_packet_desc" array. Section
412 * 5.6.3 of the USB2 specifications describe how the maximum isochronous
413 * packet length is determined by the wMaxPacketSize field in the endpoint
415 * Two functions can help you here:
417 * - libusb_get_max_iso_packet_size() is an easy way to determine the max
418 * packet size for an isochronous endpoint. Note that the maximum packet
419 * size is actually the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted in
420 * a single microframe, therefore this function multiplies the maximum number
421 * of bytes per transaction by the number of transaction opportunities per
423 * - libusb_set_iso_packet_lengths() assigns the same length to all packets
424 * within a transfer, which is usually what you want.
426 * For outgoing transfers, you'll obviously fill the buffer and populate the
427 * packet descriptors in hope that all the data gets transferred. For incoming
428 * transfers, you must ensure the buffer has sufficient capacity for
429 * the situation where all packets transfer the full amount of requested data.
431 * Completion handling requires some extra consideration. The
432 * \ref libusb_transfer::actual_length "actual_length" field of the transfer
433 * is meaningless and should not be examined; instead you must refer to the
434 * \ref libusb_iso_packet_descriptor::actual_length "actual_length" field of
435 * each individual packet.
437 * The \ref libusb_transfer::status "status" field of the transfer is also a
439 * - If the packets were submitted and the isochronous data microframes
440 * completed normally, status will have value
441 * \ref libusb_transfer_status::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_COMPLETED
442 * "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_COMPLETED". Note that bus errors and software-incurred
443 * delays are not counted as transfer errors; the transfer.status field may
444 * indicate COMPLETED even if some or all of the packets failed. Refer to
445 * the \ref libusb_iso_packet_descriptor::status "status" field of each
446 * individual packet to determine packet failures.
447 * - The status field will have value
448 * \ref libusb_transfer_status::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR
449 * "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR" only when serious errors were encountered.
450 * - Other transfer status codes occur with normal behaviour.
452 * The data for each packet will be found at an offset into the buffer that
453 * can be calculated as if each prior packet completed in full. The
454 * libusb_get_iso_packet_buffer() and libusb_get_iso_packet_buffer_simple()
455 * functions may help you here.
457 * \section asyncmem Memory caveats
459 * In most circumstances, it is not safe to use stack memory for transfer
460 * buffers. This is because the function that fired off the asynchronous
461 * transfer may return before libusb has finished using the buffer, and when
462 * the function returns it's stack gets destroyed. This is true for both
463 * host-to-device and device-to-host transfers.
465 * The only case in which it is safe to use stack memory is where you can
466 * guarantee that the function owning the stack space for the buffer does not
467 * return until after the transfer's callback function has completed. In every
468 * other case, you need to use heap memory instead.
470 * \section asyncflags Fine control
472 * Through using this asynchronous interface, you may find yourself repeating
473 * a few simple operations many times. You can apply a bitwise OR of certain
474 * flags to a transfer to simplify certain things:
475 * - \ref libusb_transfer_flags::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_SHORT_NOT_OK
476 * "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_SHORT_NOT_OK" results in transfers which transferred
477 * less than the requested amount of data being marked with status
478 * \ref libusb_transfer_status::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR"
479 * (they would normally be regarded as COMPLETED)
480 * - \ref libusb_transfer_flags::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_BUFFER
481 * "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_BUFFER" allows you to ask libusb to free the transfer
482 * buffer when freeing the transfer.
483 * - \ref libusb_transfer_flags::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_TRANSFER
484 * "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_FREE_TRANSFER" causes libusb to automatically free the
485 * transfer after the transfer callback returns.
487 * \section asyncevent Event handling
489 * In accordance of the aim of being a lightweight library, libusb does not
490 * create threads internally. This means that libusb code does not execute
491 * at any time other than when your application is calling a libusb function.
492 * However, an asynchronous model requires that libusb perform work at various
493 * points in time - namely processing the results of previously-submitted
494 * transfers and invoking the user-supplied callback function.
496 * This gives rise to the libusb_handle_events() function which your
497 * application must call into when libusb has work do to. This gives libusb
498 * the opportunity to reap pending transfers, invoke callbacks, etc.
500 * The first issue to discuss here is how your application can figure out
501 * when libusb has work to do. In fact, there are two naive options which
502 * do not actually require your application to know this:
503 * -# Periodically call libusb_handle_events() in non-blocking mode at fixed
504 * short intervals from your main loop
505 * -# Repeatedly call libusb_handle_events() in blocking mode from a dedicated
508 * The first option is plainly not very nice, and will cause unnecessary
509 * CPU wakeups leading to increased power usage and decreased battery life.
510 * The second option is not very nice either, but may be the nicest option
511 * available to you if the "proper" approach can not be applied to your
512 * application (read on...).
514 * The recommended option is to integrate libusb with your application main
515 * event loop. libusb exposes a set of file descriptors which allow you to do
516 * this. Your main loop is probably already calling poll() or select() or a
517 * variant on a set of file descriptors for other event sources (e.g. keyboard
518 * button presses, mouse movements, network sockets, etc). You then add
519 * libusb's file descriptors to your poll()/select() calls, and when activity
520 * is detected on such descriptors you know it is time to call
521 * libusb_handle_events().
523 * There is one final event handling complication. libusb supports
524 * asynchronous transfers which time out after a specified time period, and
525 * this requires that libusb is called into at or after the timeout so that
526 * the timeout can be handled. So, in addition to considering libusb's file
527 * descriptors in your main event loop, you must also consider that libusb
528 * sometimes needs to be called into at fixed points in time even when there
529 * is no file descriptor activity.
531 * For the details on retrieving the set of file descriptors and determining
532 * the next timeout, see the \ref poll "polling and timing" API documentation.
536 * @defgroup poll Polling and timing
538 * This page documents libusb's functions for polling events and timing.
539 * These functions are only necessary for users of the
540 * \ref asyncio "asynchronous API". If you are only using the simpler
541 * \ref syncio "synchronous API" then you do not need to ever call these
544 * The justification for the functionality described here has already been
545 * discussed in the \ref asyncevent "event handling" section of the
546 * asynchronous API documentation. In summary, libusb does not create internal
547 * threads for event processing and hence relies on your application calling
548 * into libusb at certain points in time so that pending events can be handled.
549 * In order to know precisely when libusb needs to be called into, libusb
550 * offers you a set of pollable file descriptors and information about when
551 * the next timeout expires.
553 * If you are using the asynchronous I/O API, you must take one of the two
554 * following options, otherwise your I/O will not complete.
556 * \section pollsimple The simple option
558 * If your application revolves solely around libusb and does not need to
559 * handle other event sources, you can have a program structure as follows:
562 // find and open device
563 // maybe fire off some initial async I/O
565 while (user_has_not_requested_exit)
566 libusb_handle_events(ctx);
571 * With such a simple main loop, you do not have to worry about managing
572 * sets of file descriptors or handling timeouts. libusb_handle_events() will
573 * handle those details internally.
575 * \section pollmain The more advanced option
577 * In more advanced applications, you will already have a main loop which
578 * is monitoring other event sources: network sockets, X11 events, mouse
579 * movements, etc. Through exposing a set of file descriptors, libusb is
580 * designed to cleanly integrate into such main loops.
582 * In addition to polling file descriptors for the other event sources, you
583 * take a set of file descriptors from libusb and monitor those too. When you
584 * detect activity on libusb's file descriptors, you call
585 * libusb_handle_events_timeout() in non-blocking mode.
587 * You must also consider the fact that libusb sometimes has to handle events
588 * at certain known times which do not generate activity on file descriptors.
589 * Your main loop must also consider these times, modify it's poll()/select()
590 * timeout accordingly, and track time so that libusb_handle_events_timeout()
591 * is called in non-blocking mode when timeouts expire.
593 * In pseudo-code, you want something that looks like:
597 libusb_get_pollfds(ctx)
598 while (user has not requested application exit) {
599 libusb_get_next_timeout(ctx);
600 select(on libusb file descriptors plus any other event sources of interest,
601 using a timeout no larger than the value libusb just suggested)
602 if (select() indicated activity on libusb file descriptors)
603 libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, 0);
604 if (time has elapsed to or beyond the libusb timeout)
605 libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, 0);
611 * The set of file descriptors that libusb uses as event sources may change
612 * during the life of your application. Rather than having to repeatedly
613 * call libusb_get_pollfds(), you can set up notification functions for when
614 * the file descriptor set changes using libusb_set_pollfd_notifiers().
616 * \section mtissues Multi-threaded considerations
618 * Unfortunately, the situation is complicated further when multiple threads
619 * come into play. If two threads are monitoring the same file descriptors,
620 * the fact that only one thread will be woken up when an event occurs causes
623 * The events lock, event waiters lock, and libusb_handle_events_locked()
624 * entities are added to solve these problems. You do not need to be concerned
625 * with these entities otherwise.
627 * See the extra documentation: \ref mtasync
630 /** \page mtasync Multi-threaded applications and asynchronous I/O
632 * libusb is a thread-safe library, but extra considerations must be applied
633 * to applications which interact with libusb from multiple threads.
635 * The underlying issue that must be addressed is that all libusb I/O
636 * revolves around monitoring file descriptors through the poll()/select()
637 * system calls. This is directly exposed at the
638 * \ref asyncio "asynchronous interface" but it is important to note that the
639 * \ref syncio "synchronous interface" is implemented on top of the
640 * asynchonrous interface, therefore the same considerations apply.
642 * The issue is that if two or more threads are concurrently calling poll()
643 * or select() on libusb's file descriptors then only one of those threads
644 * will be woken up when an event arrives. The others will be completely
645 * oblivious that anything has happened.
647 * Consider the following pseudo-code, which submits an asynchronous transfer
648 * then waits for its completion. This style is one way you could implement a
649 * synchronous interface on top of the asynchronous interface (and libusb
650 * does something similar, albeit more advanced due to the complications
651 * explained on this page).
654 void cb(struct libusb_transfer *transfer)
656 int *completed = transfer->user_data;
661 struct libusb_transfer *transfer;
662 unsigned char buffer[LIBUSB_CONTROL_SETUP_SIZE];
665 transfer = libusb_alloc_transfer(0);
666 libusb_fill_control_setup(buffer,
667 LIBUSB_REQUEST_TYPE_VENDOR | LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_OUT, 0x04, 0x01, 0, 0);
668 libusb_fill_control_transfer(transfer, dev, buffer, cb, &completed, 1000);
669 libusb_submit_transfer(transfer);
672 poll(libusb file descriptors, 120*1000);
673 if (poll indicates activity)
674 libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, 0);
676 printf("completed!");
681 * Here we are <em>serializing</em> completion of an asynchronous event
682 * against a condition - the condition being completion of a specific transfer.
683 * The poll() loop has a long timeout to minimize CPU usage during situations
684 * when nothing is happening (it could reasonably be unlimited).
686 * If this is the only thread that is polling libusb's file descriptors, there
687 * is no problem: there is no danger that another thread will swallow up the
688 * event that we are interested in. On the other hand, if there is another
689 * thread polling the same descriptors, there is a chance that it will receive
690 * the event that we were interested in. In this situation, <tt>myfunc()</tt>
691 * will only realise that the transfer has completed on the next iteration of
692 * the loop, <em>up to 120 seconds later.</em> Clearly a two-minute delay is
693 * undesirable, and don't even think about using short timeouts to circumvent
696 * The solution here is to ensure that no two threads are ever polling the
697 * file descriptors at the same time. A naive implementation of this would
698 * impact the capabilities of the library, so libusb offers the scheme
699 * documented below to ensure no loss of functionality.
701 * Before we go any further, it is worth mentioning that all libusb-wrapped
702 * event handling procedures fully adhere to the scheme documented below.
703 * This includes libusb_handle_events() and all the synchronous I/O functions -
704 * libusb hides this headache from you. You do not need to worry about any
705 * of these issues if you stick to that level.
707 * The problem is when we consider the fact that libusb exposes file
708 * descriptors to allow for you to integrate asynchronous USB I/O into
709 * existing main loops, effectively allowing you to do some work behind
710 * libusb's back. If you do take libusb's file descriptors and pass them to
711 * poll()/select() yourself, you need to be aware of the associated issues.
713 * \section eventlock The events lock
715 * The first concept to be introduced is the events lock. The events lock
716 * is used to serialize threads that want to handle events, such that only
717 * one thread is handling events at any one time.
719 * You must take the events lock before polling libusb file descriptors,
720 * using libusb_lock_events(). You must release the lock as soon as you have
721 * aborted your poll()/select() loop, using libusb_unlock_events().
723 * \section threadwait Letting other threads do the work for you
725 * Although the events lock is a critical part of the solution, it is not
726 * enough on it's own. You might wonder if the following is sufficient...
728 libusb_lock_events(ctx);
730 poll(libusb file descriptors, 120*1000);
731 if (poll indicates activity)
732 libusb_handle_events_timeout(ctx, 0);
734 libusb_unlock_events(ctx);
736 * ...and the answer is that it is not. This is because the transfer in the
737 * code shown above may take a long time (say 30 seconds) to complete, and
738 * the lock is not released until the transfer is completed.
740 * Another thread with similar code that wants to do event handling may be
741 * working with a transfer that completes after a few milliseconds. Despite
742 * having such a quick completion time, the other thread cannot check that
743 * status of its transfer until the code above has finished (30 seconds later)
744 * due to contention on the lock.
746 * To solve this, libusb offers you a mechanism to determine when another
747 * thread is handling events. It also offers a mechanism to block your thread
748 * until the event handling thread has completed an event (and this mechanism
749 * does not involve polling of file descriptors).
751 * After determining that another thread is currently handling events, you
752 * obtain the <em>event waiters</em> lock using libusb_lock_event_waiters().
753 * You then re-check that some other thread is still handling events, and if
754 * so, you call libusb_wait_for_event().
756 * libusb_wait_for_event() puts your application to sleep until an event
757 * occurs, or until a thread releases the events lock. When either of these
758 * things happen, your thread is woken up, and should re-check the condition
759 * it was waiting on. It should also re-check that another thread is handling
760 * events, and if not, it should start handling events itself.
762 * This looks like the following, as pseudo-code:
765 if (libusb_try_lock_events(ctx) == 0) {
766 // we obtained the event lock: do our own event handling
768 if (!libusb_event_handling_ok(ctx)) {
769 libusb_unlock_events(ctx);
772 poll(libusb file descriptors, 120*1000);
773 if (poll indicates activity)
774 libusb_handle_events_locked(ctx, 0);
776 libusb_unlock_events(ctx);
778 // another thread is doing event handling. wait for it to signal us that
779 // an event has completed
780 libusb_lock_event_waiters(ctx);
783 // now that we have the event waiters lock, double check that another
784 // thread is still handling events for us. (it may have ceased handling
785 // events in the time it took us to reach this point)
786 if (!libusb_event_handler_active(ctx)) {
787 // whoever was handling events is no longer doing so, try again
788 libusb_unlock_event_waiters(ctx);
792 libusb_wait_for_event(ctx);
794 libusb_unlock_event_waiters(ctx);
796 printf("completed!\n");
799 * A naive look at the above code may suggest that this can only support
800 * one event waiter (hence a total of 2 competing threads, the other doing
801 * event handling), because the event waiter seems to have taken the event
802 * waiters lock while waiting for an event. However, the system does support
803 * multiple event waiters, because libusb_wait_for_event() actually drops
804 * the lock while waiting, and reaquires it before continuing.
806 * We have now implemented code which can dynamically handle situations where
807 * nobody is handling events (so we should do it ourselves), and it can also
808 * handle situations where another thread is doing event handling (so we can
809 * piggyback onto them). It is also equipped to handle a combination of
810 * the two, for example, another thread is doing event handling, but for
811 * whatever reason it stops doing so before our condition is met, so we take
812 * over the event handling.
814 * Four functions were introduced in the above pseudo-code. Their importance
815 * should be apparent from the code shown above.
816 * -# libusb_try_lock_events() is a non-blocking function which attempts
817 * to acquire the events lock but returns a failure code if it is contended.
818 * -# libusb_event_handling_ok() checks that libusb is still happy for your
819 * thread to be performing event handling. Sometimes, libusb needs to
820 * interrupt the event handler, and this is how you can check if you have
821 * been interrupted. If this function returns 0, the correct behaviour is
822 * for you to give up the event handling lock, and then to repeat the cycle.
823 * The following libusb_try_lock_events() will fail, so you will become an
824 * events waiter. For more information on this, read \ref fullstory below.
825 * -# libusb_handle_events_locked() is a variant of
826 * libusb_handle_events_timeout() that you can call while holding the
827 * events lock. libusb_handle_events_timeout() itself implements similar
828 * logic to the above, so be sure not to call it when you are
829 * "working behind libusb's back", as is the case here.
830 * -# libusb_event_handler_active() determines if someone is currently
831 * holding the events lock
833 * You might be wondering why there is no function to wake up all threads
834 * blocked on libusb_wait_for_event(). This is because libusb can do this
835 * internally: it will wake up all such threads when someone calls
836 * libusb_unlock_events() or when a transfer completes (at the point after its
837 * callback has returned).
839 * \subsection fullstory The full story
841 * The above explanation should be enough to get you going, but if you're
842 * really thinking through the issues then you may be left with some more
843 * questions regarding libusb's internals. If you're curious, read on, and if
844 * not, skip to the next section to avoid confusing yourself!
846 * The immediate question that may spring to mind is: what if one thread
847 * modifies the set of file descriptors that need to be polled while another
848 * thread is doing event handling?
850 * There are 2 situations in which this may happen.
851 * -# libusb_open() will add another file descriptor to the poll set,
852 * therefore it is desirable to interrupt the event handler so that it
853 * restarts, picking up the new descriptor.
854 * -# libusb_close() will remove a file descriptor from the poll set. There
855 * are all kinds of race conditions that could arise here, so it is
856 * important that nobody is doing event handling at this time.
858 * libusb handles these issues internally, so application developers do not
859 * have to stop their event handlers while opening/closing devices. Here's how
860 * it works, focusing on the libusb_close() situation first:
862 * -# During initialization, libusb opens an internal pipe, and it adds the read
863 * end of this pipe to the set of file descriptors to be polled.
864 * -# During libusb_close(), libusb writes some dummy data on this control pipe.
865 * This immediately interrupts the event handler. libusb also records
866 * internally that it is trying to interrupt event handlers for this
867 * high-priority event.
868 * -# At this point, some of the functions described above start behaving
870 * - libusb_event_handling_ok() starts returning 1, indicating that it is NOT
871 * OK for event handling to continue.
872 * - libusb_try_lock_events() starts returning 1, indicating that another
873 * thread holds the event handling lock, even if the lock is uncontended.
874 * - libusb_event_handler_active() starts returning 1, indicating that
875 * another thread is doing event handling, even if that is not true.
876 * -# The above changes in behaviour result in the event handler stopping and
877 * giving up the events lock very quickly, giving the high-priority
878 * libusb_close() operation a "free ride" to acquire the events lock. All
879 * threads that are competing to do event handling become event waiters.
880 * -# With the events lock held inside libusb_close(), libusb can safely remove
881 * a file descriptor from the poll set, in the safety of knowledge that
882 * nobody is polling those descriptors or trying to access the poll set.
883 * -# After obtaining the events lock, the close operation completes very
884 * quickly (usually a matter of milliseconds) and then immediately releases
886 * -# At the same time, the behaviour of libusb_event_handling_ok() and friends
887 * reverts to the original, documented behaviour.
888 * -# The release of the events lock causes the threads that are waiting for
889 * events to be woken up and to start competing to become event handlers
890 * again. One of them will succeed; it will then re-obtain the list of poll
891 * descriptors, and USB I/O will then continue as normal.
893 * libusb_open() is similar, and is actually a more simplistic case. Upon a
894 * call to libusb_open():
896 * -# The device is opened and a file descriptor is added to the poll set.
897 * -# libusb sends some dummy data on the control pipe, and records that it
898 * is trying to modify the poll descriptor set.
899 * -# The event handler is interrupted, and the same behaviour change as for
900 * libusb_close() takes effect, causing all event handling threads to become
902 * -# The libusb_open() implementation takes its free ride to the events lock.
903 * -# Happy that it has successfully paused the events handler, libusb_open()
904 * releases the events lock.
905 * -# The event waiter threads are all woken up and compete to become event
906 * handlers again. The one that succeeds will obtain the list of poll
907 * descriptors again, which will include the addition of the new device.
909 * \subsection concl Closing remarks
911 * The above may seem a little complicated, but hopefully I have made it clear
912 * why such complications are necessary. Also, do not forget that this only
913 * applies to applications that take libusb's file descriptors and integrate
914 * them into their own polling loops.
916 * You may decide that it is OK for your multi-threaded application to ignore
917 * some of the rules and locks detailed above, because you don't think that
918 * two threads can ever be polling the descriptors at the same time. If that
919 * is the case, then that's good news for you because you don't have to worry.
920 * But be careful here; remember that the synchronous I/O functions do event
921 * handling internally. If you have one thread doing event handling in a loop
922 * (without implementing the rules and locking semantics documented above)
923 * and another trying to send a synchronous USB transfer, you will end up with
924 * two threads monitoring the same descriptors, and the above-described
925 * undesirable behaviour occuring. The solution is for your polling thread to
926 * play by the rules; the synchronous I/O functions do so, and this will result
927 * in them getting along in perfect harmony.
929 * If you do have a dedicated thread doing event handling, it is perfectly
930 * legal for it to take the event handling lock for long periods of time. Any
931 * synchronous I/O functions you call from other threads will transparently
932 * fall back to the "event waiters" mechanism detailed above. The only
933 * consideration that your event handling thread must apply is the one related
934 * to libusb_event_handling_ok(): you must call this before every poll(), and
935 * give up the events lock if instructed.
