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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================== +Allocating dma-buf using heaps +============================== + +Dma-buf Heaps are a way for userspace to allocate dma-buf objects. They are +typically used to allocate buffers from a specific allocation pool, or to share +buffers across frameworks. + +Heaps +===== + +A heap represents a specific allocator. The Linux kernel currently supports the +following heaps: + + - The ``system`` heap allocates virtually contiguous, cacheable, buffers. + + - The ``system_cc_shared`` heap allocates virtually contiguous, cacheable, + buffers using shared (decrypted) memory. It is only present on + confidential computing (CoCo) VMs where memory encryption is active + (e.g., AMD SEV, Intel TDX). The allocated pages have the encryption + bit cleared, making them accessible for device DMA without TDISP + support. On non-CoCo VM configurations, this heap is not registered. + + - The ``default_cma_region`` heap allocates physically contiguous, + cacheable, buffers. Only present if a CMA region is present. Such a + region is usually created either through the kernel commandline + through the ``cma`` parameter, a memory region Device-Tree node with + the ``linux,cma-default`` property set, or through the + ``CMA_SIZE_MBYTES`` or ``CMA_SIZE_PERCENTAGE`` Kconfig options. Prior + to Linux 6.17, its name wasn't stable and could be called + ``reserved``, ``linux,cma``, or ``default-pool``, depending on the + platform. + + - A heap will be created for each reusable region in the device tree + with the ``shared-dma-pool`` compatible, using the full device tree + node name as its name. The buffer semantics are identical to + ``default-cma-region``. + +Naming Convention +================= + +``dma-buf`` heaps name should meet a number of constraints: + +- The name must be stable, and must not change from one version to the other. + Userspace identifies heaps by their name, so if the names ever change, we + would be likely to introduce regressions. + +- The name must describe the memory region the heap will allocate from, and + must uniquely identify it in a given platform. Since userspace applications + use the heap name as the discriminant, it must be able to tell which heap it + wants to use reliably if there's multiple heaps. + +- The name must not mention implementation details, such as the allocator. The + heap driver will change over time, and implementation details when it was + introduced might not be relevant in the future. + +- The name should describe properties of the buffers that would be allocated. + Doing so will make heap identification easier for userspace. Such properties + are: + + - ``contiguous`` for physically contiguous buffers; + + - ``protected`` for encrypted buffers not accessible the OS; + +- The name may describe intended usage. Doing so will make heap identification + easier for userspace applications and users. + +For example, assuming a platform with a reserved memory region located +at the RAM address 0x42000000, intended to allocate video framebuffers, +physically contiguous, and backed by the CMA kernel allocator, good +names would be ``memory@42000000-contiguous`` or ``video@42000000``, but +``cma-video`` wouldn't. -- cgit v1.3.1
