[PATCH v5 00/17] iio: core,buffer: add support for multiple IIO buffers per IIO device

From: Alexandru Ardelean
Date: Thu Feb 11 2021 - 07:27:29 EST


Some tweaks in v5, and this time I merged all the changelog histories into
this final one.

Changelog v4 -> v5:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20210210100823.46780-1-alexandru.ardelean@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t
* patch 'iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device'
don't return -EBUSY in iio_buffer_poll_wrapper(); return 0
__poll_t is unsigned, so returning 0 is the best we can do
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
* patch 'iio: buffer: dmaengine: obtain buffer object from attribute'
removed unused 'indio_dev' variable; seems i missed this initially
* patch 'iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device'
call 'wake_up(buffer->pollq)' in iio_buffer_chrdev_release()

Changelog v3 -> v4:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20210201145105.20459-1-alexandru.ardelean@xxxxxxxxxx/
* patch 'docs: ioctl-number.rst: reserve IIO subsystem ioctl() space'
remove 'uapi/' from `uapi/linux/iio/*.h`
* patch 'iio: core: register chardev only if needed'
add commit comment about potentially breaking userspace ABI with chardev removal
* patch 'iio: core: rework iio device group creation'
remove NULL re-init in iio_device_unregister_sysfs() ; memory is being free'd
* patch 'iio: buffer: group attr count and attr alloc'
extend commit comment about the 2 or 1 buffer directores
* patch 'iio: core: merge buffer/ & scan_elements/ attributes'
fixed static checker complaints
- removed unused global
- initialize omitted 'ret = -ENOMEM' on error path
- made iio_buffer_unregister_legacy_sysfs_groups() static
* patch 'iio: buffer: wrap all buffer attributes into iio_dev_attr'
- update some omitted unwindings; seems i forgot a few originally
this was showing up when trying to read from buffer1
* add patch 'iio: buffer: move __iio_buffer_free_sysfs_and_mask() before alloc func'
* patch 'iio: buffer: introduce support for attaching more IIO buffers'
- removed 'iio_dev_opaque->attached_buffers = NULL' after kfree()
- using 'iio_dev_opaque->attached_buffers_cnt' to check that we have buffers
instead of checking 'indio_dev->buffer'
* patch 'iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device'
- replaced -ENOENT with -ENODEV when buffer index is out of range
* add 'iio: core: rename 'dev' -> 'indio_dev' in iio_device_alloc()'
* add 'iio: buffer: dmaengine: obtain buffer object from attribute'
* add tools/iio patches for new multibuffer logic
tools: iio: make iioutils_get_type() private in iio_utils
tools: iio: privatize globals and functions in iio_generic_buffer.c file
tools: iio: convert iio_generic_buffer to use new IIO buffer API

Changelog v2 -> v3:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20210122155805.83012-1-alexandru.ardelean@xxxxxxxxxx/
* added commit 'docs: ioctl-number.rst: reserve IIO subsystem ioctl() space'
reserving 'i' 0x90-0x9F ioctls for IIO
I did not see any conflicts with others (in the doc)
- related to this, the new IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL is now at 'i' 0x91
* changed approach for creating sysfs buffer directories;
- they are now created as groups on the IIO device; that also means
that the groups array needs to be krealloc-ed and assign later in
the registration
- merged bufferX/ and scan_elementsX/ directories into a single
bufferX/ directory
- for legacy the buffer/ & scan_elements/ directories are kept; but
they're groups objects have been moved on the iio_dev_opaque object
- internally, the iio_dev_attr type is being extended to hold a
reference for an IIO buffer;
= this is great for scan_elements attributes
= and for the rest of the iio_buffer attributes, it means we need to
wrap them into iio_dev_attr

Changelog v1 -> v2:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20201117162340.43924-1-alexandru.ardelean@xxxxxxxxxx/
* 'iio: buffer: rework buffer & scan_elements dir creation'
add more doc-strings detailing the reasoning for this change
* 'iio: buffer: re-route scan_elements via it's kobj_type'
move list_del() before the kfree()'s in the list destruction
* 'iio: buffer: introduce support for attaching more IIO buffers'
- changed to 'cnt' variable vs re-using the 'i' for unwinding in
iio_buffer_alloc_sysfs_and_mask()
- removed kfree(old) in iio_device_attach_buffer()
- made iio_device_attach_buffer() an int return; this means that some
follow up patches are needed to make this return value be used;
* 'iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device'
- tested ioctl() with a simple C program; attached to comment;
- changed 'i' variable usage to 'sz' for alloc
- changed logic for buffer0; returning FD 0; userspace should know
that the IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL call returns 0 for buffer0;
this is because I can't find a way to determine the FD of the
ioctl() in the kernel; duplicating an ioctl() for buffer0 is also bad;
