It can also change the run flags to mark the command as no longer

Checking the runflags and modifying them involves two uses of the

Acquire the subdevice's spin-lock at the start of `comedi_event()` and

after it's parameter values have been determined).
Add and make use of few new inline helper functions:

* `__comedi_set_subdevice_runflags()` -- sets some run flags without

Second set of new devices, functionality and cleanup for IIO in the 4.1 cycle.
New Functionality
* Watermark logic for buffers. Allows for blocking reads to block until
their requested amount is available - previously they only blocked until
a single scan of data was available. Also allows for polling for a
watermark amount of data to be available. This feature was first proposed
some time ago to good responses, but not taken further by the original author
Octavian has picked up the gauntlet and taken it through
to merging (along with the hardware fifo support that follows).
* New approach to hardware fifo handling - in particular handling the
interaction of a hardware fifo feeding into a software fifo and their
watershed events. We don't have every possible case well covered yet,
but this is certainly a good, flexible starting point. This will replace
the previous approach used in ancient drivers (sca3000) where we just
exposed the hardware buffer directly to userspace. Very few pieces of
hardware have sufficiently long buffers for that to be an adequate solution.
* bmc150_accel - hardware fifo support.
* mlx90614 - support dual IR sensor devices + some refactoring to clean up the
code and allow some other functionality currently under review.
* L3GD20H gyroscope support added to the st_gyro driver.
* lis3lv02d accelerometer added to the st_gyro driver. Note this part is
also supported by the older lis3 driver under misc. A lengthy discussion
took place and concluded that holding parts out on the basis that whole
driver would be subsumed into this one was counter productive. Better
to add part support and add additional features as people need them.
Basically there was not advantage in not merging the support.
* max517 driver gains support for MAX520 and MAX521 DACs.
Documentation
* 3.20 -> 4.0 renaming for recent docs. Whilst technically a fix, I think
people will cope until the next merge merge window.
* An ABI typo hat -> What: More ABIs should have hats.
* Document in_rot_offset, illuminance_raw and illuminance_scale.
Cleanups
* Fix a scale extraction bug in generic_buffer.c example.
* Constify a load of device tree related structures.

iio: bmc150_accel: add support for hardware fifo
We only advertise hardware fifo support if the I2C bus supports full
I2C or smbus I2C block data reads since it is mandatory to read the
full frame in one read (otherwise the rest of the frame is discarded).
The hardware fifo is enabled only when triggers are not active because:
(a) when using the any-motion trigger the user expects to see samples
based on ROC events, but the fifo stores samples based on the sample
frequency
(b) the data-ready trigger is waking the CPU for for every sample, so
using the hardware fifo does not have any benefit
Octavian Purdila [Sun, 22 Mar 2015 18:33:39 +0000 (20:33 +0200)]
iio: add support for hardware fifo
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.
