This patch changes the semantics of non-blocking reads so that a
hardware fifo flush is triggered if the available data in the device
buffer is less then the requested size.
This allows userspace to accurately generate hardware fifo flushes, by
doing a non-blocking read with a size greater then the sum of the
device buffer and hardware fifo size.

In hardware mode we can not use the software demuxer, this means that the
selected scan mask needs to match one of the available scan masks exactly.
It also means that all attached buffers need to use the same scan mask.
Given that when operating in hardware mode there is typically only a single
buffer attached to the device this not an issue. Add a sanity check to make
sure that only a single buffer is attached in hardware mode nevertheless.

For each buffer type specify the supported device modes for this buffer.
This allows us for devices which support multiple different operating modes
to pick the correct operating mode based on the modes supported by the
attached buffers.
It also prevents that buffers with conflicting modes are attached
to a device at the same time or that a buffer with a non-supported mode is
attached to a device (e.g. in-kernel callback buffer to a device only
supporting hardware mode).

Currently when something goes wrong at some step when disabling the buffers
we immediately abort. This has the effect that the enable/disable calls are
no longer balanced. So make sure that even if one step in the disable
sequence fails the other steps are still executed.
The other issue is that when either enable or disable fails buffers that
were active at that time stay active while the device itself is disabled.
This leaves things in a inconsistent state and can cause unbalanced
enable/disable calls. Furthermore when enable fails we restore the old scan
mask, but still keeps things disabled.
Given that verification of the configuration was performed earlier and it
is valid at the point where we try to enable/disable the most likely reason
of failure is a communication failure with the device or maybe a
out-of-memory situation. There is not really a good recovery strategy in
such a case, so it makes sense to leave the device disabled, but we should
still leave it in a consistent state.
What the patch does if disable/enable fails is to deactivate all buffers
and make sure that the device will be in the same state as if all buffers
had been manually disabled.

__iio_update_buffers is already a rather large function with many different

will work in the middle of the update sequence. This means if the new

We only have to call the request_update() callback for a newly inserted
buffer. The configuration of the already previously active buffers will not
have changed.
This also allows us to move the request_update() call to the beginning of
__iio_update_buffers(), before any currently active buffers are stopped.
This makes the error handling a lot easier since no changes were made to
the buffer list and no rollback needs to be performed.

Add a small helper function iio_free_scan_mask() that takes a mask and
frees its memory if the scan masks for the device are dynamically
allocated, otherwise does nothing. This means we don't have to open-code
the same check over and over again in __iio_update_buffers.
Also free compound_mask as soon a we are done using it. This constrains its
usage to a specific region of the function will make further refactoring
and splitting the function into smaller sub-parts more easier.

While more verbose error messages are useful for debugging we should really
not put those error messages into the kernel log for normal errors that are
already reported to the application via the error code, when running in
non-debug mode.
Otherwise application authors might expect that this is part of the ABI and
to get the error they should scan the kernel log. Which would be rather
error prone itself since there is no direct mapping between a operation and
the error message so it is impossible to find out which error message
belongs to which error.

Some devices have hardware buffers that can store a number of samples
for later consumption. Hardware usually provides interrupts to notify
the processor when the FIFO is full or when it has reached a certain
watermark level. This helps with reducing the number of interrupts to
the host processor and thus it helps decreasing the power consumption.
This patch enables usage of hardware FIFOs for IIO devices in
conjunction with software device buffers. When the hardware FIFO is
enabled the samples are stored in the hardware FIFO. The samples are
later flushed to the device software buffer when the number of entries
in the hardware FIFO reaches the hardware watermark or when a flush
operation is triggered by the user when doing a non-blocking read
on an empty software device buffer.
In order to implement hardware FIFO support the device drivers must
implement the following new operations: setting and getting the
hardware FIFO watermark level, flushing the hardware FIFO to the
software device buffer. The device must also expose information about
the hardware FIFO such it's minimum and maximum watermark and if
necessary a list of supported watermark values. Finally, the device
driver must activate the hardware FIFO when the device buffer is
enabled, if the current device settings allows it.
The software device buffer watermark is passed by the IIO core to the
device driver as a hint for the hardware FIFO watermark. The device
driver can adjust this value to allow for hardware limitations (such
as capping it to the maximum hardware watermark or adjust it to a
value that is supported by the hardware). It can also disable the
hardware watermark (and implicitly the hardware FIFO) it this value is
below the minimum hardware watermark.
Since a driver may support hardware FIFO only when not in triggered
buffer mode (due to different semantics of hardware FIFO sampling and
triggered sampling) this patch changes the IIO core code to allow
falling back to non-triggered buffered mode if no trigger is enabled.

This patch makes the reader sleep until enough data is collected before

Originally device and buffer registration were kept as separate operations
in IIO to allow to register two distinct sets of channels for buffered and
non-buffered operations. This has since already been further restricted and
the channel set registered for the buffer needs to be a subset of the
channel set registered for the device. Additionally the possibility to not
have a raw (or processed) attribute for a channel which was registered for
the device was added a while ago. This means it is possible to not register
any device level attributes for a channel even if it is registered for the
device. Also if a channel's scan_index is set to -1 and the channel is
registered for the buffer it is ignored.
So in summary it means it is possible to register the same channel array for
both the device and the buffer yet still end up with distinctive sets of
channels for both of them. This makes the argument for having to have to
manually register the channels for both the device and the buffer invalid.
Considering that the vast majority of all drivers want to register the same
set of channels for both the buffer and the device it makes sense to move
the buffer registration into the core to avoid some boiler-plate code in the
device driver setup path.

Individual drivers should not be messing with the scan mask that contains
the list of enabled channels. This is something that is supposed to be
managed by the core.
Now that the last few drivers that used it to configure a default scan mask
have been updated to not do this anymore we can unexport the function.
Note, this patch also requires moving a few functions around so they are all

1st round of new IIO drivers, functionality and cleanups for the 3.18 cycle.
Maintainer Updates
* Add 3 designated reviewers for IIO. Lars, Peter and Hartmut have been
actively reviewing a lot of patches for a while now so this reflects
the status quo. These three are probably the only reason I keep
my head above the water!
New drivers and device support
* max5821 DAC
* Rockchip SARADC
* TI ADC128S052 ADC
* BMC150 Accelerometer
* exynos ADC driver gains support for s3c24xx and s3c64xx parts.
* kxcjk-1013 gainst range control and runtime PM support to drive
down it's power usage.
Driver removals
* Drop ad5930, ad99850, ad9852, ad9910 and ad9951 drivers on the simple
basis that they drivers just provided a register write function with
no compliant user space ABI whatsoever. Much better to drop them and
start again for these in the fullness of time.
Core Enhancements
* Join together neighbouring elements in the demux units that feeds
the binary interfaces. This cuts down on the number of individual
copies needed when splitting out individual channels from the incoming
channel scans.
* Other demux related cleanups such as using roundup instead of a local
implementation.
Cleanups
* Drop an unnecessary double setting of the owner field in xilinx adc.
* Some more patches to use managed (devm) interfaces to cut down on
complexity of removal code.
* adis16060 coding style fixlets.
* Fix some incorrect error returns in the Xilinx ADC driver.
* Coding style fixlets for various accelerometer drivers.
* Some sparse warning fixes to do with endianness and sign of variables.
* Fix an incorrect and entirely pointless use of sizeof on a dynamic pointer
in hid-sensor-magn-3d by dropping the relevant code.

When copying multiple multiple samples that are adjacent in both the source as

When creating the demux table we need to iterate over the selected scan mask for
the buffer to get the samples which should be copied to destination buffer.
Right now the code uses the mask which contains all active channels, which means
the demux table contains entries which causes it to copy all the samples from
source to destination buffer one by one without doing any demuxing.

The current scan element type uses the following format:

To specify multiple elements in this type, added a repeat value.
So new format is:
[be|le]:[s|u]bits/storagebitsXr[>>shift].
Here r is specifying how may times, real/storage bits are repeating.
When X is value is 0 or 1, then repeat value is not used in the format,

Ensure that querying the IIO buffer scan_mask returns a value of
0 or 1. Currently querying the scan mask has the value returned
by test_bit(), which returns either true or false. For some
architectures test_bit() may return -1 for true, which will appear
to return an error when returning from iio_scan_mask_query().
Additionally, it's important for the sysfs interface to consistently
return the same thing when querying the scan_mask.

Currently a IIO device driver needs to make sure to update the buffer's bytes
per datum after the scan mask has changed. This is usually done in the preenable
callback by invoking iio_sw_buffer_preenable(). This is something that needs to
be done and is done for virtually all devices which support buffers (we
currently have only one exception). Also this a bit of a layering violation
since we have to call the buffer setup ops from the device setup ops. This
requires the device driver to know about the internal requirements of the buffer
(e.g. whether we need to call the set_bytes_per_datum) callback. And especially
with in-kernel buffer consumers, which allows to attach arbitrary buffers to a
device, this is something that the driver can't know.
Moving this to the core allows us to drop the individual calls to
iio_sw_buffer_preenable() from drivers.

Since the buffer is accessed by userspace we can not just free the buffers
memory once we are done with it in kernel space. There might still be open file
descriptors and userspace still might be accessing the buffer. This patch adds
support for reference counting to the IIO buffers. When a buffer is created and
initialized its initial reference count is set to 1. Instead of freeing the
memory of the buffer the buffer's _free() function will drop that reference
again. But only after the last reference to the buffer has been dropped the
buffer the buffer's memory will be freed. The IIO device will take a reference
to its primary buffer. The patch adds a small helper function for this called
iio_device_attach_buffer() which will get a reference to the buffer and assign
the buffer to the IIO device. This function must be used instead of assigning
the buffer to the device by hand. The reference is only dropped once the IIO
device is freed and we can be sure that there are no more open file handles. A
reference to a buffer will also be taken whenever the buffer is active to avoid
the buffer being freed while data is still being send to it.
