Description

In rog-control-center, find_iface_async and find_iface opened a new zbus::Connection::system() / zbus::blocking::Connection::system() on every invocation. When called inside recurring 2-second background polling tasks (e.g. for Armoury attributes, LEDs, and device status updates), new Unix domain sockets and eventfd descriptors accumulated continuously without reuse.
After approximately 10–12 minutes, the process exhausted the default 1024 file descriptor limit (EMFILE / os error 24: Too many open files), causing slint::run_event_loop_until_quit() and Wayland socket creation to fail with a panic.

Key Changes:

  • rog-dbus: Implemented system_connection() (async via tokio::sync::OnceCell) and system_connection_blocking() (sync via std::sync::OnceLock) to share a single process-wide D-Bus connection.
  • rog-dbus: Updated find_iface_async, find_iface_blocking, and list_iface_blocking to reuse the shared connections and added _with_conn variants.
  • rog-control-center: Re-exported find_iface_async and find_iface_blocking from rog_dbus in zbus_proxies.rs and replaced independent Connection::system() allocations across main.rs and ui/setup_*.rs modules.
  • rog-control-center: Replaced .unwrap() calls during synchronous D-Bus setup in setup_system.rs with safe error propagation and logging.

Fixes #229

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved reliability when connecting to system services during device setup.
    • Improved discovery of Aura, fan, graphics, and system interfaces.
    • Setup now handles unavailable services or devices more gracefully without interrupting other initialization.
  • Performance

    • Reused system-service connections to reduce repeated setup work.
    • Streamlined device discovery for faster and more consistent setup behavior.

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes blocking and asynchronous system D-Bus connections in rog-dbus. rog-control-center uses shared connections and discovery helpers across startup, Aura, fan, GPU, and system setup paths.

Changes

D-Bus connection sharing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared connection and discovery APIs
rog-dbus/Cargo.toml, rog-dbus/src/lib.rs
Adds cached blocking and asynchronous system connections, caller-provided discovery variants, numeric-aware object-path sorting, and singleton tests.
Discovery helper re-export
rog-control-center/src/zbus_proxies.rs, rog-control-center/src/ui/setup_aura.rs
Re-exports rog_dbus discovery helpers and uses asynchronous discovery for Aura interfaces.
Control-center connection migration
rog-control-center/src/main.rs, rog-control-center/src/ui/setup_{fans,gpu,system}.rs
Replaces direct system connections with shared helpers and passes connections to proxies. Connection and proxy failures log and return early.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2f57e

This PR reuses shared D-Bus connections and improves setup error handling to prevent descriptor exhaustion and related failures; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains, so it is merge-ready after normal checks.

preserve the existing no-interface error path and document the rule if selecting
the highest path is intentional.

the supported_properties() block that requires the proxy. Preserve the existing
logging while allowing the page reset and sysfs telemetry loop to continue when
D-Bus or the platform proxy is unavailable.

- Around line 143-159: Update test_system_connection_blocking_singleton and
test_system_connection_async_singleton to handle unavailable system buses with
an explicit, visible skip instead of silently returning from if let Ok branches.
Preserve the singleton pointer assertions when connections are available, and
report the skip reason through the test framework’s established skip mechanism.

70-74: 🎯 Functional Correctness | ⚡ Quick win

Both discovery helpers now key off contains_key(&str) against a zbus interface-name map. The same assumption was copied into the async and blocking variant: that the map key borrows as str with matching Hash and Eq. If that does not hold, the code fails to compile, or it compiles and every lookup quietly returns "Did not find {iface_name}". The old explicit string comparison had no such dependency.

  • rog-dbus/src/lib.rs#L70-L74: verify the key type of get_managed_objects() against the pinned zbus version; if it does not implement Borrow<str>, compare the key explicitly with k.as_str() == iface_name.
  • rog-dbus/src/lib.rs#L114-L118: apply the identical change to the blocking variant so the two helpers cannot drift.

No change needed. The workspace enables macros, sync, and rt, so the Tokio usage in rog-dbus is supported.

In `@rog-dbus/Cargo.toml`:
- Around line 21-22: Separate the runtime-dependent asusd API from rog-dbus by
moving tokio runtime-dependent code and its associated API into an appropriate
asusd-specific layer, while keeping rog-dbus limited to the shared API. Update
the workspace dependency and feature wiring so asusctl no longer receives
runtime features through rog-dbus, preserving only the tokio capabilities
required by each crate.

In `@rog-dbus/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 75-81: Update rog-dbus/src/lib.rs lines 75-81 in
find_iface_async_with_conn and lines 119-124 in find_iface_blocking_with_conn to
sort object paths by parsing their trailing segment numerically, with byte-order
comparison as the fallback; keep both helpers consistent. In
rog-control-center/src/ui/setup_aura.rs lines 37-47, make no direct change
because the existing “lowest path index” documentation becomes accurate after
the helper fix.
- Around line 18-28: Add a concise comment in system_connection_blocking
explaining that the initial get plus get_or_init may briefly create two
connections under a race, with the losing connection dropped intentionally
because OnceLock::get_or_try_init is unavailable; leave the existing
initialization logic unchanged.

No runtime-lifetime issue exists in the current callers. rog-control-center is the only production caller and keeps its Tokio runtime alive until shutdown. The rog-dbus test uses zbus with async-io only, not zbus/tokio.

Are you certain the minimal fix for the fd leak (if it even exists) is 200 lines of code?

I haven't read the entire diff yet. But I don't think this change needs to be so big

I can reduce it by removing the reuse of rog-dbus for dbus/zbus calls but then it would contain a duplication of these calls

…rs (OpenGamingCollective#229)

rog-control-center called find_iface and find_iface_async on periodic
2-second UI polling loops, opening a new zbus system connection on each
call. Because proxies retain their originating connection, file
descriptors (eventfd and unix domain sockets) accumulated until hitting
the EMFILE (1024) limit and panicking.

Reuse a singleton system connection across calls using OnceLock for
blocking and OnceCell for async lookups in rog-control-center's
zbus_proxies module.
