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 intended to be used by LSM developers who want to make +use of a common code base for several different packet labeling protocols. +The NetLabel security module API is defined in 'include/net/netlabel.h' but a +brief overview is given below. + +NetLabel Security Attributes +============================ + +Since NetLabel supports multiple different packet labeling protocols and LSMs +it uses the concept of security attributes to refer to the packet's security +labels. The NetLabel security attributes are defined by the +'netlbl_lsm_secattr' structure in the NetLabel header file. Internally the +NetLabel subsystem converts the security attributes to and from the correct +low-level packet label depending on the NetLabel build time and run time +configuration. It is up to the LSM developer to translate the NetLabel +security attributes into whatever security identifiers are in use for their +particular LSM. + +NetLabel LSM Protocol Operations +================================ + +These are the functions which allow the LSM developer to manipulate the labels +on outgoing packets as well as read the labels on incoming packets. Functions +exist to operate both on sockets as well as the sk_buffs directly. These high +level functions are translated into low level protocol operations based on how +the administrator has configured the NetLabel subsystem. + +NetLabel Label Mapping Cache Operations +======================================= + +Depending on the exact configuration, translation between the network packet +label and the internal LSM security identifier can be time consuming. The +NetLabel label mapping cache is a caching mechanism which can be used to +sidestep much of this overhead once a mapping has been established. Once the +LSM has received a packet, used NetLabel to decode its security attributes, +and translated the security attributes into a LSM internal identifier the LSM +can use the NetLabel caching functions to associate the LSM internal +identifier with the network packet's label. This means that in the future +when a incoming packet matches a cached value not only are the internal +NetLabel translation mechanisms bypassed but the LSM translation mechanisms are +bypassed as well which should result in a significant reduction in overhead. |
