iio: proximity: vl53l0x-i2c: claim direct mode for raw readsgrafted
vl53l0x_read_raw() starts a single-shot ranging measurement and reads
back the result. Once the triggered buffer is enabled the sensor runs in
continuous mode and its data-ready interrupt is routed to the trigger,
so a concurrent in_distance_raw read disturbs the streaming setup and
never gets its completion, returning -ETIMEDOUT.
The original submission claimed direct mode here, but it was dropped
during review because the driver had no buffer support at the time [1].
Continuous (buffered) mode was later added without restoring the
claim [2], reintroducing the conflict.
Reject direct reads while buffered capture is active by claiming direct
mode around the measurement, as the vl53l1x sibling already does.

There are three +types of I/O services available, and each type has a sync and an async +version. + +The user must set up an io_region structure to describe the desired location +of the I/O. Each io_region indicates a block-device along with the starting +sector and size of the region:: + + struct io_region { + struct block_device *bdev; + sector_t sector; + sector_t count; + }; + +Dm-io can read from one io_region or write to one or more io_regions. Writes +to multiple regions are specified by an array of io_region structures. + +The first I/O service type takes a list of memory pages as the data buffer for +the I/O, along with an offset into the first page:: + + struct page_list { + struct page_list *next; + struct page *page; + }; + + int dm_io_sync(unsigned int num_regions, struct io_region *where, int rw, + struct page_list *pl, unsigned int offset, + unsigned long *error_bits); + int dm_io_async(unsigned int num_regions, struct io_region *where, int rw, + struct page_list *pl, unsigned int offset, + io_notify_fn fn, void *context); + +The second I/O service type takes an array of bio vectors as the data buffer +for the I/O. This service can be handy if the caller has a pre-assembled bio, +but wants to direct different portions of the bio to different devices:: + + int dm_io_sync_bvec(unsigned int num_regions, struct io_region *where, + int rw, struct bio_vec *bvec, + unsigned long *error_bits); + int dm_io_async_bvec(unsigned int num_regions, struct io_region *where, + int rw, struct bio_vec *bvec, + io_notify_fn fn, void *context); + +The third I/O service type takes a pointer to a vmalloc'd memory buffer as the +data buffer for the I/O. This service can be handy if the caller needs to do +I/O to a large region but doesn't want to allocate a large number of individual +memory pages:: + + int dm_io_sync_vm(unsigned int num_regions, struct io_region *where, int rw, + void *data, unsigned long *error_bits); + int dm_io_async_vm(unsigned int num_regions, struct io_region *where, int rw, + void *data, io_notify_fn fn, void *context); + +Callers of the asynchronous I/O services must include the name of a completion +callback routine and a pointer to some context data for the I/O:: + + typedef void (*io_notify_fn)(unsigned long error, void *context); + +The "error" parameter in this callback, as well as the `*error` parameter in +all of the synchronous versions, is a bitset (instead of a simple error value). +In the case of an write-I/O to multiple regions, this bitset allows dm-io to +indicate success or failure on each individual region. + +Before using any of the dm-io services, the user should call dm_io_get() +and specify the number of pages they expect to perform I/O on concurrently. +Dm-io will attempt to resize its mempool to make sure enough pages are +always available in order to avoid unnecessary waiting while performing I/O. + +When the user is finished using the dm-io services, they should call +dm_io_put() and specify the same number of pages that were given on the +dm_io_get() call. |
