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.

+=================================
+Documentation for /proc/sys/user/
+=================================
+
+kernel version 4.9.0

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This file contains the documentation for the sysctl files in
+/proc/sys/user.
+
+The files in this directory can be used to override the default
+limits on the number of namespaces and other objects that have
+per user per user namespace limits.
+
+The primary purpose of these limits is to stop programs that
+malfunction and attempt to create a ridiculous number of objects,
+before the malfunction becomes a system wide problem. It is the
+intention that the defaults of these limits are set high enough that
+no program in normal operation should run into these limits.
+
+The creation of per user per user namespace objects are charged to
+the user in the user namespace who created the object and
+verified to be below the per user limit in that user namespace.
+
+The creation of objects is also charged to all of the users
+who created user namespaces the creation of the object happens
+in (user namespaces can be nested) and verified to be below the per user
+limits in the user namespaces of those users.
+
+This recursive counting of created objects ensures that creating a
+user namespace does not allow a user to escape their current limits.
+
+Currently, these files are in /proc/sys/user:
+
+max_cgroup_namespaces
+=====================
+
+ The maximum number of cgroup namespaces that any user in the current
+ user namespace may create.
+
+max_ipc_namespaces
+==================
+
+ The maximum number of ipc namespaces that any user in the current
+ user namespace may create.
+
+max_mnt_namespaces
+==================
+
+ The maximum number of mount namespaces that any user in the current
+ user namespace may create.
+
+max_net_namespaces
+==================
+
+ The maximum number of network namespaces that any user in the
+ current user namespace may create.
+
+max_pid_namespaces
+==================
+
+ The maximum number of pid namespaces that any user in the current
+ user namespace may create.
+
+max_time_namespaces
+===================
+
+ The maximum number of time namespaces that any user in the current
+ user namespace may create.
+
+max_user_namespaces
+===================
+
+ The maximum number of user namespaces that any user in the current
+ user namespace may create.
+
+max_uts_namespaces
+==================
+
+ The maximum number of user namespaces that any user in the current
+ user namespace may create.
