Description

This PR is based on #338 as a follow-up enhancement. Over time, D-Bus/zbus connection logic and proxy instantiation became duplicated and spread across various workspace crates (asusctl, rog-control-center, asus-shutdown), rather than leveraging rog-dbus as the single source of truth.

Why this is needed:

Beyond code duplication, creating uncoordinated D-Bus connections across modules introduced several runtime risks and issues:

  1. File Descriptor & Connection Leaks: Repeated calls to Connection::system() in polling loops accumulated Unix domain sockets and eventfd handles until exhausting OS file descriptor limits (EMFILE).
  2. Cache Drift & State Inconsistency: Independent zbus proxy instances did not share property caches or signal invalidations, risking stale reads across concurrent UI/CLI tasks.
  3. Non-deterministic Device Selection & Race Conditions: Inconsistent device discovery ordering (e.g. byte-order string sorting where /.../10 preceded /.../2) could result in different components selecting different devices as primary.
  4. D-Bus Broker Overhead: Spawning multiple connections multiplied authentication handshakes and duplicate match rules in dbus-daemon.

Summary of Changes:

  • rog-dbus:
    • Shared Connection Singletons: Centralized process-wide async (system_connection via tokio::sync::OnceCell) and blocking (system_connection_blocking via std::sync::OnceLock) system connections.
    • Typed Proxy Factories & Discoverers: Re-exported all proxies at crate root and added unified typed constructors (platform_proxy, fan_curves_proxy, backlight_proxy) and device discovery helpers (find_armoury_proxies, find_aura_proxies, find_slash_proxies, find_anime_proxies, find_xgm_led_proxies, find_scsi_aura_proxies).
    • Natural Path Sorting: Added cmp_object_paths to ensure numerical ordering for trailing object path segments with byte-order fallback.
  • rog-control-center: Migrated UI setup modules (setup_fans, setup_system, setup_gpu, setup_aura, setup_slash, setup_anime) to use the centralized helpers and shared connection.
  • asusctl & asus-shutdown: Updated CLI handlers and shutdown cleanup to use centralized blocking proxy factories.

Tested Hardware & Environment

  • ASUS Laptop Model: ASUS ROG Strix G614PR
  • Linux Distribution: CachyOS
  • Kernel Version: 7.2.0-1-cachyos

Verification and testing:

  • I have performed a self-review of my code
  • I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
  • My code follows the style guidelines of this project (cargo fmt --all -- --check)
  • My changes generate no new warnings (cargo clippy --all -- -D warnings/cargo check --all-targets)
  • New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes (cargo test --all)
  • Cranky with 0 warning (cargo cranky)

…leak (OpenGamingCollective#229)

rog-control-center opened a new zbus::Connection::system() on every
find_iface_async query in periodic 2-second polling loops, causing file
descriptors (eventfd and unix domain sockets) to accumulate until
hitting the EMFILE limit and crashing with a panic after ~12 minutes.

Centralize process-wide D-Bus system connections in rog-dbus using
OnceCell for async and OnceLock for blocking calls, and update
rog-control-center to reuse the shared connections and proxy lookup
helpers across all UI setup modules.
Re-export all D-Bus proxy types at the root of rog-dbus and provide typed
proxy factories (platform_proxy, fan_curves_proxy, backlight_proxy) and
device discovery helpers (find_armoury_proxies, find_aura_proxies,
find_slash_proxies, find_anime_proxies, find_xgm_led_proxies,
find_scsi_aura_proxies) with sync and async variants.

Modernize internal find_iface implementations with guard clause error
returns and idiomatic iterator filtering.
…ury proxy helpers

Refactor asus-shutdown to reuse the process-wide shared D-Bus connection
from rog_dbus instead of creating multiple Connection::system() instances.

Replace raw ObjectManagerProxy introspection and manual AsusArmoury proxy
instantiation with rog_dbus::find_armoury_proxies(), and modernize
is_card_entry using str::strip_prefix.
…s and discovery helpers

Migrate all UI setup modules (setup_fans, setup_system, setup_gpu,
setup_aura, setup_slash, setup_anime) to use high-level typed proxy
factories and device discoverers from rog_dbus instead of manual proxy
builders.

Remove redundant proxy re-exports from zbus_proxies, and modernize
control loops using let-chains and iterator combinators.
…very helpers

Update asusctl CLI handlers across main.rs, slash_cli.rs, and
xgm_led_cli.rs to use high-level typed proxy factories (e.g.
platform_proxy_blocking, backlight_proxy_blocking,
fan_curves_proxy_blocking) and discoverers from rog_dbus.

Remove manual Connection::system() calls and raw find_iface_blocking
invocations from CLI handlers.

    • Preserved existing command behavior while improving connection robustness.

Walkthrough

The patch centralizes system D-Bus connections and proxy discovery in rog-dbus. asusctl, rog-control-center, and asus-shutdown now use the shared APIs. It also removes obsolete discovery helpers and fixes short-name parsing in shutdown handling.

Changes

D-Bus proxy migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared rog-dbus infrastructure
rog-dbus/Cargo.toml, rog-dbus/src/lib.rs
Adds cached async and blocking connections, public proxy exports, discovery helpers, numeric object-path ordering, and tests.
asusctl proxy integration
asusctl/src/main.rs, asusctl/src/slash_cli.rs, asusctl/src/xgm_led_cli.rs
Replaces direct connections and generic discovery with blocking rog_dbus helpers across command handlers.
Control-center proxy integration
rog-control-center/src/main.rs, rog-control-center/src/ui/*, rog-control-center/src/zbus_proxies.rs
Uses shared asynchronous and blocking proxy helpers, updates system and device setup paths, and removes obsolete local discovery functions.
Shutdown proxy integration
asus-shutdown/src/main.rs
Uses shared system connections and Armoury discovery. It also prevents short card names from causing a slice panic.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f93e1

This refactor can make commands fail on systems without optional hardware interfaces and can leave PPT/NV controls uninitialized when a current value cannot be read. These bounded but concrete behavior regressions should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

- Around line 705-712: Update the attribute setup around attr.name() and
attr.current_value() so setup is gated only on successful name retrieval; log
name-read failures instead of silently discarding them. Move current_value()
reads into only the value-consuming match arms (BootSound, ScreenAutoBrightness,

- Around line 318-348: Make the D-Bus singleton tests explicit

gate to test_system_connection_blocking_singleton and
test_system_connection_async_singleton, rather than allowing them to pass after
returning when the system bus is unavailable.
- Around line 37-43: Update system_connection_blocking so concurrent cold-cache

- Around line 112-118: Update the interface-discovery logic around the
paths-empty check to treat missing devices as a normal result rather than a
propagated failure: return an empty Vec, or introduce a typed NoDevice error and
handle it separately from D-Bus errors. Preserve actual D-Bus failure
propagation and the existing multiple-interface warning.

The log message names the wrong subsystem.

This block discovers Anime interfaces. The message says "aura interfaces". Anybody debugging a dead Anime panel now gets sent off to stare at keyboard lighting code. Fix the string.

Include the property name in these error messages.

init_minmax_property! right above already logs stringify!($property). This macro does not. A box with eight PPT attributes therefore emits eight identical "Failed to get min value on profile change" lines, and you get to guess which attribute is broken. That is not logging, that is noise generation. You are already touching these lines; add the name.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not gate the whole attribute setup on current_value(), and stop swallowing both errors.

This condition now requires both current_value() and name() to succeed before anything happens for an attribute. Look at what is actually inside the match: every PPT and NV arm (PptPl1Spl through DgpuTgp) uses init_minmax_property!, which re-reads min, max, and current from the proxy itself. Those arms never touch the outer value. Only BootSound, ScreenAutoBrightness, McuPowersave, PanelOverdrive, and MiniLedMode use it.

So a single failing current_value() read now throws away the callbacks, the external-change watcher, and the min/max wiring for an attribute that did not need the value in the first place. And asusd really does return an error here: AsusArmoury::current_value returns fdo::Error::Failed("Could not read current value") when the sysfs read fails or the value is not an integer. The user gets a dead PPT slider stuck at the MINMAX default of min 0, max 0, current -1.0, for the rest of the session, with no retry.

Worse, both errors are now discarded. The previous code at least logged when the name could not be read. Now the attribute vanishes without a single line in the log. Debugging that is a treat.

Gate on name() only, and read the value where it is needed.

Keep the rest of the match as it is. If you prefer not to substitute a default for value, then split the match so the five value-consuming arms bail out on their own and the minmax arms proceed regardless.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The doc comment admits a race, and then you ship the race anyway.

The logic is correct, but it is sloppy. On a cold cache two threads can each open a system bus connection, and one gets thrown away. You do not need get_or_try_init for this. Do the fallible work only when you have won the initialization, using Once or a small mutex, or return the error without creating a throwaway connection.

♻️ One way to avoid the throwaway connection
-/// Note: The initial `get()` plus `get_or_init()` may briefly create two connections
-/// under a race condition, with the losing connection dropped intentionally because
-/// `OnceLock::get_or_try_init` is unavailable.
+/// The connection is created at most once. Failed attempts are not cached, so a
+/// later call retries.

Preserve “no device” as a normal result

Several asusctl callers propagate this error with ?, so systems without Slash, XG Mobile LED, AniMe, SCSI Aura, or Armoury interfaces report command failures. asus-shutdown also reports the absence as a failed queue query. Return an empty Vec for absent devices, or add a typed NoDevice error and handle it separately from D-Bus failures.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

These "tests" pass on a machine with no D-Bus, which means they test nothing in CI.

Both singleton tests print a message and return Ok when the system bus is missing. A green test run then proves nothing about the caching behaviour. That is worse than no test, because it looks like coverage. Gate them behind an ignored attribute or a feature so the skip is explicit and visible.
