From e24328974a88aa8541e94e8bb8dfa2ade1b3c45d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Donggeun Yoo Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 00:21:26 +0900 Subject: iio: proximity: vl53l0x-i2c: claim direct mode for raw reads 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.

Hugepages have separate counters. + +The numa_hit, numa_miss and numa_foreign counters reflect how well processes +are able to allocate memory from nodes they prefer. If they succeed, numa_hit +is incremented on the preferred node, otherwise numa_foreign is incremented on +the preferred node and numa_miss on the node where allocation succeeded. + +Usually preferred node is the one local to the CPU where the process executes, +but restrictions such as mempolicies can change that, so there are also two +counters based on CPU local node. local_node is similar to numa_hit and is +incremented on allocation from a node by CPU on the same node. other_node is +similar to numa_miss and is incremented on the node where allocation succeeds +from a CPU from a different node.

In the current kernel implementation, if a process prefers a +memoryless node (i.e. because it is running on one of its local CPU), the +implementation actually treats one of the nearest nodes with memory as the +preferred node. As a result, such allocation will not increase the numa_foreign +counter on the memoryless node, and will skew the numa_hit, numa_miss and +numa_foreign statistics of the nearest node. -- cgit v1.3.1
