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.

Contents: + + - Overview. + - Usage. + - Mountpoints. + - Dynamic root. + - Proc filesystem. + - The cell database. + - Security. + - The @sys substitution. + + +Overview +======== + +This filesystem provides a fairly simple secure AFS filesystem driver. It is +under development and does not yet provide the full feature set. The features +it does support include: + + (*) Security (currently only AFS kaserver and KerberosIV tickets). + + (*) File reading and writing. + + (*) Automounting. + + (*) Local caching (via fscache). + +It does not yet support the following AFS features: + + (*) pioctl() system call. + + +Compilation +=========== + +The filesystem should be enabled by turning on the kernel configuration +options:: + + CONFIG_AF_RXRPC - The RxRPC protocol transport + CONFIG_RXKAD - The RxRPC Kerberos security handler + CONFIG_AFS_FS - The AFS filesystem + +Additionally, the following can be turned on to aid debugging:: + + CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_DEBUG - Permit AF_RXRPC debugging to be enabled + CONFIG_AFS_DEBUG - Permit AFS debugging to be enabled + +They permit the debugging messages to be turned on dynamically by manipulating +the masks in the following files:: + + /sys/module/af_rxrpc/parameters/debug + /sys/module/kafs/parameters/debug + + +Usage +===== + +When inserting the driver modules the root cell must be specified along with a +list of volume location server IP addresses:: + + modprobe rxrpc + modprobe kafs rootcell=cambridge.redhat.com:172.16.18.73:172.16.18.91 + +The first module is the AF_RXRPC network protocol driver. This provides the +RxRPC remote operation protocol and may also be accessed from userspace. See: + + Documentation/networking/rxrpc.rst + +The second module is the kerberos RxRPC security driver, and the third module +is the actual filesystem driver for the AFS filesystem. + +Once the module has been loaded, more modules can be added by the following +procedure:: + + echo add grand.central.org 18.9.48.14:128.2.203.61:130.237.48.87 >/proc/fs/afs/cells + +Where the parameters to the "add" command are the name of a cell and a list of +volume location servers within that cell, with the latter separated by colons. + +Filesystems can be mounted anywhere by commands similar to the following:: + + mount -t afs "%cambridge.redhat.com:root.afs." /afs + mount -t afs "#cambridge.redhat.com:root.cell." /afs/cambridge + mount -t afs "#root.afs." /afs + mount -t afs "#root.cell." /afs/cambridge + +Where the initial character is either a hash or a percent symbol depending on +whether you definitely want a R/W volume (percent) or whether you'd prefer a +R/O volume, but are willing to use a R/W volume instead (hash). + +The name of the volume can be suffixes with ".backup" or ".readonly" to +specify connection to only volumes of those types. + +The name of the cell is optional, and if not given during a mount, then the +named volume will be looked up in the cell specified during modprobe. + +Additional cells can be added through /proc (see later section). + + +Mountpoints +=========== + +AFS has a concept of mountpoints. In AFS terms, these are specially formatted +symbolic links (of the same form as the "device name" passed to mount). kAFS +presents these to the user as directories that have a follow-link capability +(i.e.: symbolic link semantics). If anyone attempts to access them, they will +automatically cause the target volume to be mounted (if possible) on that site. + +Automatically mounted filesystems will be automatically unmounted approximately +twenty minutes after they were last used. Alternatively they can be unmounted +directly with the umount() system call. + +Manually unmounting an AFS volume will cause any idle submounts upon it to be +culled first. If all are culled, then the requested volume will also be +unmounted, otherwise error EBUSY will be returned. + +This can be used by the administrator to attempt to unmount the whole AFS tree +mounted on /afs in one go by doing:: + + umount /afs + + +Dynamic Root +============ + +A mount option is available to create a serverless mount that is only usable +for dynamic lookup. Creating such a mount can be done by, for example:: + + mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn + +This creates a mount that just has an empty directory at the root. Attempting +to look up a name in this directory will cause a mountpoint to be created that +looks up a cell of the same name, for example:: + + ls /afs/grand.central.org/ + + +Proc Filesystem +=============== + +The AFS module creates a "/proc/fs/afs/" directory and populates it: + + (*) A "cells" file that lists cells currently known to the afs module and + their usage counts:: + + [root@andromeda ~]# cat /proc/fs/afs/cells + USE NAME + 3 cambridge.redhat.com + + (*) A directory per cell that contains files that list volume location + servers, volumes, and active servers known within that cell:: + + [root@andromeda ~]# cat /proc/fs/afs/cambridge.redhat.com/servers + USE ADDR STATE + 4 172.16.18.91 0 + [root@andromeda ~]# cat /proc/fs/afs/cambridge.redhat.com/vlservers + ADDRESS + 172.16.18.91 + [root@andromeda ~]# cat /proc/fs/afs/cambridge.redhat.com/volumes + USE STT VLID[0] VLID[1] VLID[2] NAME + 1 Val 20000000 20000001 20000002 root.afs + + +The Cell Database +================= + +The filesystem maintains an internal database of all the cells it knows and the +IP addresses of the volume location servers for those cells. The cell to which +the system belongs is added to the database when modprobe is performed by the +"rootcell=" argument or, if compiled in, using a "kafs.rootcell=" argument on +the kernel command line. + +Further cells can be added by commands similar to the following:: + + echo add CELLNAME VLADDR[:VLADDR][:VLADDR]... >/proc/fs/afs/cells + echo add grand.central.org 18.9.48.14:128.2.203.61:130.237.48.87 >/proc/fs/afs/cells + +No other cell database operations are available at this time. + + +Security +======== + +Secure operations are initiated by acquiring a key using the klog program.
