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.

It is used by dm-snapshot and dm-mirror. + +Users of kcopyd must first create a client and indicate how many memory pages +to set aside for their copy jobs. This is done with a call to +kcopyd_client_create():: + + int kcopyd_client_create(unsigned int num_pages, + struct kcopyd_client **result); + +To start a copy job, the user must set up io_region structures to describe +the source and destinations of the copy. Each io_region indicates a +block-device along with the starting sector and size of the region. The source +of the copy is given as one io_region structure, and the destinations of the +copy are given as an array of io_region structures:: + + struct io_region { + struct block_device *bdev; + sector_t sector; + sector_t count; + }; + +To start the copy, the user calls kcopyd_copy(), passing in the client +pointer, pointers to the source and destination io_regions, the name of a +completion callback routine, and a pointer to some context data for the copy:: + + int kcopyd_copy(struct kcopyd_client *kc, struct io_region *from, + unsigned int num_dests, struct io_region *dests, + unsigned int flags, kcopyd_notify_fn fn, void *context); + + typedef void (*kcopyd_notify_fn)(int read_err, unsigned int write_err, + void *context); + +When the copy completes, kcopyd will call the user's completion routine, +passing back the user's context pointer.
