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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +About this Book +=============== + +This document attempts to describe the on-disk format for ext4 +filesystems. The same general ideas should apply to ext2/3 filesystems +as well, though they do not support all the features that ext4 supports, +and the fields will be shorter. + +**NOTE**: This is a work in progress, based on notes that the author +(djwong) made while picking apart a filesystem by hand. The data +structure definitions should be current as of Linux 4.18 and +e2fsprogs-1.44. All comments and corrections are welcome, since there is +undoubtedly plenty of lore that might not be reflected in freshly +created demonstration filesystems. + +License +------- +This book is licensed under the terms of the GNU Public License, v2. + +Terminology +----------- + +ext4 divides a storage device into an array of logical blocks both to +reduce bookkeeping overhead and to increase throughput by forcing larger +transfer sizes. Generally, the block size will be 4KiB (the same size as +pages on x86 and the block layer's default block size), though the +actual size is calculated as 2 ^ (10 + ``sb.s_log_block_size``) bytes. +Throughout this document, disk locations are given in terms of these +logical blocks, not raw LBAs, and not 1024-byte blocks. For the sake of +convenience, the logical block size will be referred to as +``$block_size`` throughout the rest of the document. + +When referenced in ``preformatted text`` blocks, ``sb`` refers to fields +in the super block, and ``inode`` refers to fields in an inode table +entry. + +Other References +---------------- + +Also see https://www.nongnu.org/ext2-doc/ for quite a collection of +information about ext2/3. Here's another old reference: +http://wiki.osdev.org/Ext2 |
