And I still don't like this one, but it works. Some patches here [like Lars' patches] are here just make things easier to apply when moving from the ADI tree to the upstream one. For a final patchset I'll need to re-apply/re-test. A working version of this patchset but also with output buffer support is here: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux/tree/adi-iio-buffers-work [ it's based on 4.19 ] It will take a few more patches to bring output support to this tree, but this should add initial support for multiple IIO buffers per device. I haven't tested this patchset, I've tested the one in the link above. I currently don't have [at hand] any devices that would benefit from using multiple buffers per IIO device. Maybe when I get back to the office. Firstly: I need a bit of help in trying to symlink from the kernel files in the /dev folder. I could not find any examples of how this is done [without cracking open some deep kernel/kernfs code], so maybe it's done via userspace? Any suggestions are welcome. I noticed that symlinking via sysfs_create_link() is fine outside of the fs/ folder, so that's what I used. I think I also partially understand why Lars was initially against doing this 'multiple IIO buffers per IIO device'. I've tried various combinations of doing things, and nothing fits perfect, without feeling like I'm doing some sort of mini-frankenstein, just in order to preserve some backwards compatibility. So, to make this work, what I need to do now, is: ------------ root@analog:~# cd /dev/ root@analog:/dev# ln -s iio\:buffer3\:0 iio\:device3 root@analog:/dev# ln -s iio\:buffer4\:0 iio\:device4 root@analog:/dev# ls | grep iio iio:buffer3:0 iio:buffer3:1 iio:buffer3:2 iio:buffer3:3 iio:buffer4:0 iio:device0 iio:device1 iio:device3 iio:device4 ------------ device3 is an ADC with 4 buffers attached, only the first one is currently being used (in legacy mode); the other 3 aren't being used. The IIO buffer devices are named '/dev/iio:bufferX:Y', X being the ID of the IIO device, and Y being the ID of the buffer of device X. These could be renamed to '/dev/iio:deviceX:Y', but that would be confusing I guess. Then ------------ root@analog:/# ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/ iio:buffer3:0 iio:buffer3:1 iio:buffer3:2 iio:buffer3:3 iio:buffer4:0 iio:device0 iio:device1 iio:device2 iio:device3 iio:device4 ------------ root@analog:/# ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:buffer3:0 data_available dev enable length length_align_bytes power scan_elements subsystem uevent watermark ------------ root@analog:/# ls -la /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device3/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 0 May 8 13:00 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 May 8 12:53 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 8 13:00 buffer -> iio:buffer3:0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 May 8 12:53 events drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 0 May 8 12:53 iio:buffer3:0 drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 0 May 8 12:53 iio:buffer3:1 drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 0 May 8 12:53 iio:buffer3:2 drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 0 May 8 12:53 iio:buffer3:3 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:54 in_voltage0_test_mode -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:54 in_voltage1_test_mode -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:54 in_voltage_sampling_frequency -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 in_voltage_scale -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 in_voltage_scale_available -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 in_voltage_test_mode_available -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 name lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 8 13:00 of_node -> ../../../../../firmware/devicetree/base/fpga-axi@0/axi-ad9680-hpc@44a10000 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 May 8 12:53 power lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 8 13:00 scan_elements -> iio:buffer3:0/scan_elements lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 8 13:00 subsystem -> ../../../../../bus/iio -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 uevent ------------ root@analog:/# ls -la /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device3/iio:buffer3:0/ total 0 drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 0 May 8 12:53 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 0 May 8 13:00 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 data_available -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 dev -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 enable -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 length -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 length_align_bytes drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 May 8 12:53 power drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 May 8 12:53 scan_elements lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 8 12:53 subsystem -> ../../../../../../bus/iio -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 uevent -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 May 8 12:53 watermark ------------ Using our fancy IIO-oscilloscope[1] app with this format, seems to work. [1] https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/iio-oscilloscope Linking the 'scan_elements' folder from the first buffer looks a bit fishy [the code I mean]; it requires that the buffer device be added first, so that the 'scan_elements' be attached via kobject, so that we can have the kobject (as a symlink target). Again, I did not want to crack open the kernfs. What I don't like, is that iio:device3 has iio:buffer3:0 (to 3). This is because the 'buffer->dev.parent = &indio_dev->dev'. But I do feel this is correct. So, now I don't know whether to leave it like that or symlink to shorter versions like 'iio:buffer3:Y' -> 'iio:device3/bufferY'. The reason for naming the IIO buffer devices to 'iio:bufferX:Y' is mostly to make the names unique. It would have looked weird to do '/dev/buffer1' if I would have named the buffer devices 'bufferX'. So, now I'm thinking of whether all this is acceptable. Or what is acceptable? Should I symlink 'iio:device3/iio:buffer3:0' -> 'iio:device3/buffer0'? What else should I consider moving forward? What means forward? Where did I leave my beer? Well, if you've found my beer, it means you got this far :) Thanks for reading all of this [including this bit of quarantine humor].
