Changelog v2 -> v3:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20210122155805.83012-1-alexandru.ardelean@analog.com/
* added commit 'docs: ioctl-number.rst: reserve IIO subsystem ioctl() space'
  reserving 'i' 0x90-0x9F ioctls for IIO
  I did not see any conflicts with others (in the doc)
  - related to this, the new IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL is now at 'i' 0x91
* changed approach for creating sysfs buffer directories;
  - they are now created as groups on the IIO device; that also means
    that the groups array needs to be krealloc-ed and assign later in
    the registration
  - merged bufferX/ and scan_elementsX/ directories into a single
    bufferX/ directory
  - for legacy the buffer/ & scan_elements/ directories are kept; but
    they're groups objects have been moved on the iio_dev_opaque object
  - internally, the iio_dev_attr type is being extended to hold a
    reference for an IIO buffer;
    = this is great for scan_elements attributes
    = and for the rest of the iio_buffer attributes, it means we need to
      wrap them into iio_dev_attr

Changelog v1 -> v2:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20201117162340.43924-1-alexandru.ardelean@analog.com/
* 'iio: buffer: rework buffer & scan_elements dir creation'
  add more doc-strings detailing the reasoning for this change
* 'iio: buffer: re-route scan_elements via it's kobj_type'
  move list_del() before the kfree()'s in the list destruction
* 'iio: buffer: introduce support for attaching more IIO buffers'
  - changed to 'cnt' variable vs re-using the 'i' for unwinding in
    iio_buffer_alloc_sysfs_and_mask()
  - removed kfree(old) in iio_device_attach_buffer()
  - made iio_device_attach_buffer() an int return; this means that some
    follow up patches are needed to make this return value be used;
* 'iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device'
  - tested ioctl() with a simple C program; attached to comment;
  - changed 'i' variable usage to 'sz' for alloc
  - changed logic for buffer0; returning FD 0; userspace should know
    that the IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL call returns 0 for buffer0;
    this is because I can't find a way to determine the FD of the
    ioctl() in the kernel; duplicating an ioctl() for buffer0 is also bad;

When the conversion was done to use devm_iio_kfifo_allocate(), a call to
iio_kfifo_free() was omitted (to be removed).
This change removes it.

This change adds the devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() helper/short-hand,
which groups the simple routine of allocating a kfifo buffers via
devm_iio_kfifo_allocate() and calling iio_device_attach_buffer().

The mode_flags parameter is required, as the IIO kfifo supports 2 modes:
INDIO_BUFFER_SOFTWARE & INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED.
The setup_ops parameter is optional.

This function will be a bit more useful when needing to define multiple
buffers per IIO device.

The naming for this function has been inspired from
iio_triggered_buffer_setup() since that one does a kfifo alloc + a pollfunc
alloc. So, this should have a more familiar ring to what it is.

All drivers that already call devm_iio_kfifo_allocate() &
iio_device_attach_buffer() are simple to convert to
iio_device_attach_kfifo_buffer() in a single go.

This change does that; the unwind order is preserved.
What is important, is that the devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() be called
after the indio_dev->modes is assigned, to make sure that
INDIO_BUFFER_SOFTWARE flag is set and not overridden by the assignment to
indio_dev->modes.

Also, the INDIO_BUFFER_SOFTWARE has been removed from the assignments of
'indio_dev->modes' because it is set by devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup().

This change makes use of the devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() helper, however
the unwind order is changed.
The life-time of the kfifo object is attached to the parent device object.
This is to make the driver a bit more consistent with the other IIO
drivers, even though (as it is now before this change) it shouldn't be a
problem.

At this point all drivers should use devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() instead
of manually allocating via devm_iio_kfifo_allocate() and assigning ops and
modes.

With this change, the devm_iio_kfifo_allocate() will be made private to the
IIO core, since all drivers should call either
devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() or devm_iio_triggered_buffer_setup() to
create a kfifo buffer.

This change does a conversion of the devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_alloc() to
devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup(). This will allocate an IIO DMA buffer and
attach it to the IIO device, similar to devm_iio_triggered_buffer_setup()
(though the underlying code is different, the final logic is the same).

Since the only user of the devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_alloc() was the
adi-axi-adc driver, this change does the replacement in a single go in the
driver.

Currently, only the 'i' 0x90 ioctl() actually exists and is defined in
'include/uapi/linux/iio/events.h'.

It's the IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL, which is used to retrieve and FD for
reading events from an IIO device.
We will want to add more ioct() numbers, so with this change the 'i'
0x90-0x9F space is reserved for IIO ioctl() calls.

We only need a chardev if we need to support buffers and/or events.

With this change, a chardev will be created only if an IIO buffer is
attached OR an event_interface is configured.

Otherwise, no chardev will be created, and the IIO device will get
registered with the 'device_add()' call.

Quite a lot of IIO devices don't really need a chardev, so this is a minor
improvement to the IIO core, as the IIO device will take up (slightly)
fewer resources.

In order to not create a chardev, we mostly just need to not initialize the
indio_dev->dev.devt field. If that is un-initialized, cdev_device_add()
behaves like device_add().

This change has a small chance of breaking some userspace ABI, because it
removes un-needed chardevs. While these chardevs (that are being removed)
have always been unusable, it is likely that some scripts may check their
existence (for whatever logic).
And we also hope that before opening these chardevs, userspace would have
already checked for some pre-conditions to make sure that opening these
chardevs makes sense.
For the most part, there is also the hope that it would be easier to change
userspace code than revert this. But in the case that reverting this is
required, it should be easy enough to do it.

Oddly enough the noop function is an int-return. This one seems to be void.
This change converts it to int, because we want to change how groups are
registered. With that change this function could error out with -ENOMEM.

Up until now, the device groups that an IIO device had were limited to 6.
Two of these groups would account for buffer attributes (the buffer/ and
scan_elements/ directories).

Since we want to add multiple buffers per IIO device, this number may not
be enough, when adding a second buffer. So, this change reallocates the
groups array whenever an IIO device group is added, via a
iio_device_register_sysfs_group() helper.

This also means that the groups array should be assigned to
'indio_dev.dev.groups' really late, right before {cdev_}device_add() is
called to do the entire setup.
And we also must take care to free this array when the sysfs resources are
being cleaned up.

With this change we can also move the 'groups' & 'groupcounter' fields to
the iio_dev_opaque object. Up until now, this didn't make a whole lot of
sense (especially since we weren't sure how multibuffer support would look
like in the end).
But doing it now kills one birds with one stone.

An alternative, would be to add a configurable Kconfig symbol
CONFIG_IIO_MAX_BUFFERS_PER_DEVICE (or something like that) and compute a
static maximum of the groups we can support per IIO device. But that would
probably annoy a few people since that would make the system less
configurable.

If we want to merge the attributes of the buffer/ and scan_elements/
directories, we'll need to count all attributes first, then (depending on
the attribute group) either allocate 2 attribute groups, or a single one.
Historically an IIO buffer was described by 2 subdirectories under
/sys/bus/iio/iio:devicesX (i.e. buffer/ and scan_elements/); these subdirs
were actually 2 separate attribute groups on the iio_buffer object.

Moving forward, if we want to allow more than one buffer per IIO device,
keeping 2 subdirectories for each IIO buffer is a bit cumbersome
(especially for userpace ABI). So, we will merge the attributes of these 2
subdirs under a /sys/bus/iio/iio:devicesX/bufferY subdirectory. To do this,
we need to count all attributes first, and then distribute them based on
which buffer this is. For the first buffer, we'll need to also allocate the
legacy 2 attribute groups (for buffer/ and scan_elements/), and also a
/sys/bus/iio/iio:devicesX/buffer0 attribute group.

For buffer1 and above, just a single attribute group will be allocated (the
merged one).

With this change, we create a new directory for the IIO device called
buffer0, under which both the old buffer/ and scan_elements/ are stored.

This is done to simplify the addition of multiple IIO buffers per IIO
device. Otherwise we would need to add a bufferX/ and scan_elementsX/
directory for each IIO buffer.
With the current way of storing attribute groups, we can't have directories
stored under each other (i.e. scan_elements/ under buffer/), so the best
approach moving forward is to merge their attributes.

The old/legacy buffer/ & scan_elements/ groups are not stored on the opaque
IIO device object. This way the IIO buffer can have just a single
attribute_group object, saving a bit of memory when adding multiple IIO
buffers.

This change adds a reference to a 'struct iio_buffer' object on the
iio_dev_attr object. This way, we can use the created iio_dev_attr objects
on per-buffer basis (since they're allocated anyway).

A minor downside of this change is that the number of parameters on
__iio_add_chan_devattr() grows by 1. This looks like it could do with a bit
of a re-think.

This change wraps all buffer attributes into iio_dev_attr objects, and
assigns a reference to the IIO buffer they belong to.

With the addition of multiple IIO buffers per one IIO device, we need a way
to know which IIO buffer is being enabled/disabled/controlled.

We know that all buffer attributes are device_attributes. So we can wrap
them with a iio_dev_attr types. In the iio_dev_attr type, we can also hold
a reference to an IIO buffer.
So, we end up being able to allocate wrapped attributes for all buffer
attributes (even the one from other drivers).

The neat part with this mechanism, is that we don't need to add any extra
cleanup, because these attributes are being added to a dynamic list that
will get cleaned up via iio_free_chan_devattr_list().

With this change, the 'buffer->scan_el_dev_attr_list' list is being renamed
to 'buffer->buffer_attr_list', effectively merging (or finalizing the
merge) of the buffer/ & scan_elements/ attributes internally.

Accessing these new buffer attributes can now be done via
'to_iio_dev_attr(attr)->buffer' inside the show/store handlers.

The reference to the IIO buffer object is stored on the attribute object.
So we need to unwind it to obtain it.

In order to keep backwards compatibility with the current chardev
mechanism, and in order to add support for multiple buffers per IIO device,
we need to pass both the IIO device & IIO buffer to the chardev.

This is particularly needed for the iio_buffer_read_outer() function, where
we need to pass another buffer object than 'indio_dev->buffer'.

Since we'll also open some chardevs via anon inodes, we can pass extra
buffers in that function by assigning another object to the
iio_dev_buffer_pair object.

The __iio_buffer_free_sysfs_and_mask() function will be used in
iio_buffer_alloc_sysfs_and_mask() when multiple buffers will be attached to
the IIO device.
This will need to be used to cleanup resources on each buffer, when the
buffers cleanup unwind will occur on the error path.

The move is done in this patch to make the patch that adds multiple buffers
per IIO device a bit cleaner.

The iio_simple_dummy_configure_buffer() function is essentially a
re-implementation of the iio_triggered_buffer_setup() function.

This change makes use of the iio_triggered_buffer_setup() function. The
reason is so that we don't have to modify the iio_device_attach_buffer()
function in this driver as well.

One minor drawback is that the pollfunc name may not be 100% identical
with the one in the original code, but since it's an example, it should be
a big problem.

This change does a minor re-arranging of the included iio headers, as a
minor tidy-up.

With this change, calling iio_device_attach_buffer() will actually attach
more buffers.
Right now this doesn't do any validation of whether a buffer is attached
twice; maybe that can be added later (if needed). Attaching a buffer more
than once should yield noticeably bad results.

The first buffer is the legacy buffer, so a reference is kept to it.

At this point, accessing the data for the extra buffers (that are added
after the first one) isn't possible yet.

The iio_device_attach_buffer() is also changed to return an error code,
which for now is -ENOMEM if the array could not be realloc-ed for more
buffers.
To adapt to this new change iio_device_attach_buffer() is called last in
all place where it's called. The realloc failure is a bit difficult to
handle during un-managed calls when unwinding, so it's better to have this
as the last error in the setup_buffer calls.

At this point, no driver should call iio_device_attach_buffer() directly,
it should call one of the {devm_}iio_triggered_buffer_setup() or
devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() or devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup()
functions. This makes iio_device_attach_buffer() a bit easier to handle.

With this change, an ioctl() call is added to open a character device for a
buffer. The ioctl() number is 'i' 0x91, which follows the
IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL ioctl.

The ioctl() will return an FD for the requested buffer index. The indexes
are the same from the /sys/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY (i.e. the Y
variable).

Since there doesn't seem to be a sane way to return the FD for buffer0 to
be the same FD for the /dev/iio:deviceX, this ioctl() will return another
FD for buffer0 (or the first buffer). This duplicate FD will be able to
access the same buffer object (for buffer0) as accessing directly the
/dev/iio:deviceX chardev.

Also, there is no IIO_BUFFER_GET_BUFFER_COUNT ioctl() implemented, as the
index for each buffer (and the count) can be deduced from the
'/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY' folders (i.e the number of
bufferY folders).

Used following C code to test this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <sys/ioctl.h>
 #include <fcntl.h"
 #include <errno.h>

 #define IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL      _IOWR('i', 0x91, int)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int fd;
        int fd1;
        int ret;

        if ((fd = open("/dev/iio:device0", O_RDWR))<0) {
                fprintf(stderr, "Error open() %d errno %d\n",fd, errno);
                return -1;
        }

        fprintf(stderr, "Using FD %d\n", fd);

        fd1 = atoi(argv[1]);

        ret = ioctl(fd, IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL, &fd1);
        if (ret < 0) {
                fprintf(stderr, "Error for buffer %d ioctl() %d errno %d\n", fd1, ret, errno);
                close(fd);
                return -1;
        }

        fprintf(stderr, "Got FD %d\n", fd1);

        close(fd1);
        close(fd);

        return 0;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Results are:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 # ./test 0
 Using FD 3
 Got FD 4

 # ./test 1
 Using FD 3
 Got FD 4

 # ./test 2
 Using FD 3
 Got FD 4

 # ./test 3
 Using FD 3
 Got FD 4

 # ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0
 buffer  buffer0  buffer1  buffer2  buffer3  dev
 in_voltage_sampling_frequency  in_voltage_scale
 in_voltage_scale_available
 name  of_node  power  scan_elements  subsystem  uevent
-------------------------------------------------------------------

iio:device0 has some fake kfifo buffers attached to an IIO device.

The 'dev' variable name usually refers to 'struct device' types. However in
iio_device_alloc() this was used for the 'struct iio_dev' type, which was
sometimes causing minor confusions.

This change renames the variable to 'indio_dev', which is the usual name
used around IIO for 'struct iio_dev' type objects.
It makes grepping a bit easier as well.

This is a bit of a tidy-up, but also helps with extending the
iioutils_get_type() function a bit, as we don't need to use it outside of
the iio_utils.c file. So, we'll need to update it only in one place.

With this change, the 'unsigned' types are updated to 'unsigned int' in the
iioutils_get_type() function definition.

Mostly a tidy-up.
But also helps to understand the limits of scope of these functions and
globals.

This change makes use of the new IIO buffer API to read data from an IIO
buffer.
It doesn't read the /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/scan_elements dir
anymore, it reads /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY, where all the
scan_elements have been merged together with the old/classical buffer
attributes.

And it makes use of the new IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL ioctl to get an FD for
the IIO buffer for which to read data from.
It also does a quick sanity check to see that -EBUSY is returned if reading
the chardev after the ioctl() has succeeded.

This was tested with the following cases:
 1. Tested buffer0 works with ioctl()
 2. Tested that buffer0 can't be opened via /dev/iio:deviceX after ioctl()
    This check should be omitted under normal operation; it's being done
    here to check that the driver change is sane
 3. Moved valid buffer0 to be buffer1, and tested that data comes from it

Hi Alex,

I'm going to work my way through the series - may get to the end, but if
not hopefully we can at least reduce the number of outstanding patches. 

To enable that I've rebased my togreg branch of staging/staging-next
(I hadn't pushed it out as a non rebasing tree so this shouldn't impact anyone too
badly).

Therefore, dropping this patch as it's already there.

Jonathan

I 'think' this one is is in the obviously correct category so I've
applied it to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing.
Note there is still plenty of time for any additional feedback,
particularly as the CC list was a little sparse.

I've +CCd those who I know are still active maintainers of some
of the affected drivers.

This could have done with a little more description of 'why', but
I'm not going to hold up the series to fix it.

Whole series applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing
to see what we missed in review.

There is that one patch doing rework of a load of drivers early on in the
series that may get a few more reviews.

Otherwise, reviews on any of this from others still definitely welcome.
I'm not going to push out as a non rebasing tree for at least a couple of
weeks (given merge window is open).

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi Alex,

One thought on this that came up whilst reading through it again.
There are several uses for multiple buffers.
1) input vs output buffers
2) A device with separately clocked sampling of different channels.

For case 2, there is at least sometimes a trigger involved
(often data ready) so we probably also need to think long term about how
to support multiple current_triggers in one driver.

I guess that's something for us to figure out when we need it however.

Thanks for you hard work on finally getting this upstream.
+ Lars (and maybe others) for earlier work on this.

Whilst I've applied all these, they are only exposed in the testing branch
of iio.git on kernel.org so far and as such any additional review anyone
else wants to give would be welcome!

Jonathan

So, ADI typically has use-cases for 1).
Mostly RF transceivers.
Traditionally, these were written (inside the ADI tree) as 2-3 IIO
devices (1 IIO device for each path,1 for TX and 1-2 for RX).
With multi-buffer, they can be a single IIO device with 2-3 IIO buffers.

There are some ADI devices that have channels that can run at different speeds.
But this hasn't been an important use-cases to deal with.
Typically, a common-rate would be picked [for all channels] and that's that.
I think some people find this per-channel rates interesting; but let's see.

Thank you as well.

I feel there may be other users stumbling over this multibuffer
support, and try it out.
Often people don't seem to care about multibuffer, until they really need it.
A bit of chicken-n-egg problem.
But after being added, people may see it and start to use it.

The nasty ones for multiple speeds tend to be sensor hubs and similar
units where there is heavy processing going on.

Often they are taking in a bunch of physical sensors and
1) Shoving the data straight out unprocessed whenever it shows up.
   The raw sensors aren't running in sync, so they drift across each other and
   other fun things like that.
2) Doing sensor fusion in batches and kicking out an quaternion every now
   and then.

They work on the basis of tagging the samples in a fifo with what they actually
are.   Often there is very little control of the flow so we've previously ended
up with the same multi IIO device solution, with a common core redirecting the 
flows to the right devices (basically acting as an MFD).

Thankfully those cases don't play well with triggers anyway so we mostly
don't expose them.

From memory, cros_ec and st_lsm6dsx are like this.  I think there are a few more.

Agreed.  I'm fairly confident that the ABI is fine, so I'm not particularly
worried if we need to make further adjustments as other users show up.

If we only want to pass an int, we can pass that directly, no need to 
pass it as a pointer.

int fd = arg;

I wonder if we need to allow to pass flags, like e.g. O_NONBLOCK.

Something like 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/fs/signalfd.c#L288

Here we copy back the fd, but also return it. Just return is probably 
enough.

Can we just embedded this struct so we do not have to 
allocate/deallocate it?

The if seems unnecessary. If it is 0 and we AND it with something it is 
still 0.

We do call kfree(iio_dev_opaque->attached_buffers) before we get here. I 
think we need to keep the array around, otherwise we end of up with a 
use after free.

For me there is one major problem with this approach. We only allow one 
application to open /dev/iio:deviceX at a time. This means we can't have 
different applications access different buffers of the same device. I 
believe this is a circuital feature.

It is possible to open the chardev, get the annonfd, close the chardev 
and keep the annonfd open. Then the next application can do the same and 
get access to a different buffer. But this has room for race conditions 
when two applications try this at the very same time.

We need to somehow address this.

I'm also not much of a fan of using ioctls to create annon fds. In part 
because all the standard mechanisms for access control no longer work.

Thats not quite true (I think - though I've not tested it).  What we don't
allow is for multiple processes to access them in an unaware fashion.
My assumption is we can rely on fork + fd passing via appropriate sockets.

I'd count this as a bug :).  It could be safely done in a particular custom
system but in general it opens a can of worm.

The inability to trivially have multiple processes open the anon fds
without care is one of the things I like most about them.

IIO drivers and interfaces really aren't designed for multiple unaware
processes to access them.  We don't have per process controls for device
wide sysfs attributes etc.  In general, it would be hard to
do due to the complexity of modeling all the interactions between the
different interfaces (events / buffers / sysfs access) in a generic fashion.

As such, the model, in my head at least, is that we only want a single
process to ever be responsible for access control.  That process can then
assign access to children or via a deliberate action (I think passing the
anon fd over a unix socket should work for example).  The intent being
that it is also responsible for mediating access to infrastructure that
multiple child processes all want to access.

As such, having one chrdev isn't a disadvantage because only one process
should ever open it at a time.  This same process also handles the
resource / control mediation.  Therefore we should only have one file
exposed for all the standard access control mechanisms.

Hm, I see your point, but I'm not convinced.

Having to have explicit synchronization makes it difficult to mix and 
match. E.g. at ADI a popular use case for testing was to run some signal 
generator application on the TX buffer and some signal analyzer 
application on the RX buffer.

Both can be launched independently and there can be different types of 
generator and analyzer applications. Having to have a 3rd application to 
arbitrate access makes this quite cumbersome. And I'm afraid that in 
reality people might just stick with the two devices model just to avoid 
this restriction.

I'd argue that's a problem best tackled in a library - though it's a bit
fiddly.  It ought to be possible to make it invisible that this level
of sharing is going on.   The management process you describe would probably
be a thread running inside the first process to try and access a given device.
A second process failing to open the file with -EBUSY then connects to
appropriate socket (via path in /tmp or similar) and asks for the FD.
There are race conditions that might make it fail, but a retry loop should
deal with those.

I agree people might just stick to a two device model and if the devices
are independent enough I'm not sure that is the wrong way to approach the
problem.  It represents the independence and that the driver is being careful
that it both can and is safely handle independent simultaneous accessors.
We are always going to have some drivers doing that anyway because they've
already been doing that for years.

Umm, no idea.
I guess we could.
Would a syscall make more sense than an ioctl() here?
I guess for the ioctl() case we would need to change the type (of the
data) to some sort of

struct iio_buffer_get_fd {
      unsigned int buffer_idx;
      unsigned int fd_flags;
};

Or do we just let userspace use fcntl() to change flags to O_NONBLOCK ?

Hmm.
Yes, it is a bit duplicate.
But it is a good point. Maybe we should return 0 to userspace.

Unfortunately we can't.
The type of ' struct iio_ioctl_handler ' is stored in iio_core.h.
So, we don't know the size here. So we need to keep it as a pointer
and allocate it.
It is a bit of an unfortunate consequence of the design of this
generic ioctl() registering.

I'm neutral on this part of the debate.
I feel this may be some older discussion being refreshed here (it's
just a personal feeling).

I can try to accommodate a solution if something (else) is agreed.
Though at this point it may be a little slower.
I'm no longer an ADI employee, so it may take me a little longer to
test some things.

This is the last of the 3 patches that I need to re-spin after Lars' review.
I have a good handle on the small stuff.

I'm not sure about the race-condition about which Lars was talking about.
I mean, I get the problem, but is it a problem that we should fix in the kernel?

I'm sensing that Jonathan's preference is to keep things mostly as the
current implementation.
I'll probably leave this alone for a few days.
And I'll prepare some patches for the tweaks Lars suggested (adding
O_NONBLOCK and doing things a bit differently with the FD).
I'll send those in the next few days.

Wise move :)  Whilst I'm currently falling on the side of leaving the
current situation fo the ioctl, I'm not sure the discussion has completely
finished. 

I'm not keen to delay this series too much because other stuff will back
up behind it.  For now I'm in two minds on whether to back out the series
(on basis it's easy enough to bring back until churn gets us) or rely
on us being able to make any tweaks in a safe fashion.

Note we will have a little time to tweak the interface either way
as there aren't any mainline drivers using it yet.  As a result
I'm open to other proposals until this becomes ABI that we have to
support for ever.

Ideally I'd have lots of time and mock up the userspace library handling
that I think would hid most of the magic needed, but who knows when I'll
get time for that...

So just to update. My current plan is to leave this series in place as it
is (with fixes etc as they come).

If we need to we can always block off the ioctl later this cycle and rethink.

Hi all,

FWIW, I think that this really depends on the chosen ABI. If we do use
the ioctl to return the buffer fd and just allow one app to hold the chardev
at a time, I agree with Alex that this is not really a race and is just something
that userspace needs to deal with....

That said and giving my superficial (I did not really read the full series) piece on this,
I get both Lars and Jonathan points and, personally, it feels that the most natural thing
would be to have a chardev per buffer...

On the other hand, AFAIC, events are also being handled in the same chardev as
buffers, which makes things harder in terms of consistency... Events are per device
and not per buffers right? My point is that, to have a chardev per buffer, it would make
sense to detach events from the buffer stuff and that seems to be not doable without
breaking ABI (we would probably need to assume that events and buffer0 are on the
same chardev).

Events are interesting as there is no particular reason to assume the driver
handling buffer0 is the right one to deal with them.  It might just as easily
be the case that they are of interest to a process that is concerned with buffer1.

To add a bit more flavour to my earlier comments.

I'm still concerned that if we did do multiple /dev/* files it would allow code
to think it has complete control over the device when it really doesn't.
Events are just one aspect of that.

We have had discussions in the past about allowing multiple userspace consumers
for a single buffer, but the conclusion there was that was a job for userspace
(daemon or similar) software which can deal with control inter dependencies etc.

There are already potential messy corners we don't handle for userspace
iio buffers vs in kernel users (what happens if they both try to control the
sampling frequency?)  I'm not keen to broaden this problem set.
If a device genuinely has separate control and pipelines for different
buffers then we are probably better representing that cleanly as
an mfd type layer and two separate IIO devices. Its effectively the
same a multi chip package.

A more classic multibuffer usecase is the one where you have related
datastreams that run at different rates (often happens in devices with
tagged FIFO elements). These are tightly coupled but we need to split
the data stream (or add tagging to our FIFOs.). Another case would be
DMA based device that puts channels into buffers that are entirely
separate in memory address rather than interleaved.

So I still need to put together a PoC, but it feels like there are various
software models that will give the illusion of there being separate
/dev/* files, but with an aspect of control being possible.

1. Daemon, if present that can hand off chardevs to who needs them
2. Library to make the first user of the buffer responsible for providing
   service to other users.  Yes there are races, but I don't think they
   are hard to deal in normal usecases.  (retry loops)

Hi Nuno / Others,

Nuno's mention of things being similar for the event anon
FD to the situation for the buffer anon FDs made me realise there was
a horrible short cut to a proof of concept that didn't require me
to wire up a multiple buffer device.

Upshot, is that I've just sent out a (definitely not for merging)
hacked up version of the iio_event_monitor that can act as server
or client.  The idea is that the socket handling looks a bit
like what I'd expect to see hidden away in a library so as to
allow

1) Client 1 is after buffer 3.
   It tries to open the /dev/iio\:deviceX chrdev and succeeds.
   It spins up a thread with a listening socket for /tmp/iio\:deviceX-magic
   Continues in main thread to request buffer 3.
2) Client 2 is after buffer 2
   I tries to open the /dev/iio\:deviceX chrdev and fails.
   It sleeps a moment (reduces chance of race with client 1)
   It opens a connection to the socket via /tmp/iio\:deviceX-magic
   Sends a request for the buffer 2 FD.
   Thread in Client 1 calls the ioctl to get the buffer 2 FD which
   it then sends on to Client 2 which can use it as if it had
   requested it directly.

We might want to have a generic server version as well that doesn't
itself make use of any of the buffers as keeps the model more symmetric
and reduce common corner cases.

Anyhow the code I put together is terrible, but I wasn't 100% sure
there weren't any issues passing anon fd file handles and this shows
that at least in theory the approach I proposed above works.

Test is something like
./iio_events_network /dev/iio\:device1
./iio_events_network -c

Then make some events happen (I was using the dummy driver and
the event generator associated with that).
The server in this PoC just quits after handling off the FD.

The whole code looks good functionally.
If there are any race issues [as discussed here], they can be handled
in the server code.
And if this is the model we try to enforce/propose in userspace, then
all should be fine.


Continuing a bit with the original IIO buffer ioctl(), I talked to
Lars a bit over IRC.
And there was an idea/suggestion to maybe use a struct to pass more
information to the buffer FD.

So, right now the ioctl() just returns an FD.
Would it be worth to extend this to a struct?
What I'm worried about is that it opens the discussion to add more
stuff to that struct.

so now, it would be:

struct iio_buffer_ioctl_data {
            __u32 fd;
            __u32 flags;   // flags for the new FD, which maybe we
could also pass via fcntl()
}

anything else that we would need?

I have a vague recollection that is is almost always worth adding
some padding to such ioctl data coming out of the kernel.  Gives
flexibility to safely add more stuff later without userspace
failing to allocate enough space etc.

I'm curious though, because this feels backwards. I'd expect the
flags to be more useful passed into the ioctl? i.e. request
a non blocking FD?  Might want to mirror that back again of course.

Personally, I don't know.
I don't have any experiences on this.

So, then I'll do a change to this ioctl() to use a struct.
We can probably add some reserved space?

struct iio_buffer_ioctl_data {
            __u32 fd;
            __u32 flags;
            __u32 reserved1;
            __u32 reserved2;
}

Lars was giving me some articles about ioctls.
One idea was to maybe consider making them multiples of 64 bits.

But reading through one of the docs here:
     https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/ioctl.html#interface-versions
it discourages to do interface versions.

But I guess if we plan ahead with some reserved space, it might be
somewhat fine.

I'm still a little green on this stuff.

The struct can be used for both. Passing flags and buffer number in and fd out.

What to make sure of when using reserved fields is to check that they are 0. 
And reject the ioctl if they are not. This is the only way to ensure that old 
applications will continue to work if the struct is updated.

This patch landed recently in linux-next as commit 15097c7a1adc ("iio: 
buffer: wrap all buffer attributes into iio_dev_attr"). Sadly it causes 
a regression and triggers the lock debuging warning:

ak8975 9-000c: supply vdd not found, using dummy regulator
ak8975 9-000c: supply vid not found, using dummy regulator

---[ end trace 21850020cbfb3350 ]---

The above warning is probably caused by copying struct device_attribute 
objects in iio_buffer_wrap_attr() without re-initializing 
spinlocks/mutexes. Locks debuging depends on the spinlock/mutex 
initializers, which register them (as absolute value of the pointer to 
them) to the debugging engine. After copying the structures, the objects 
don't match the pointers they were registered. I didn't have time to 
analyze it further and find which object/lock is triggering this though.

Thanks, interestingly there aren't any spinlocks or mutexes in attributes,
but there are lock_class_keys. Looks like we need to call sysfs_attr_init()
and I guess we are currently missing it on this path.

Alex, can you take a look?  If not I'll get to it sometime over the weekend
most likely.

Hi dee Ho peeps!

Disclaimer - I have no HW to test this using real in-tree drivers. If 
someone has a device with a variant of bmc150 or adxl372 or  - it'd be 
nice to see if reading hwfifo_watermark_max or hwfifo_watermark_min 
works with the v6.0-rc4. Maybe I am misreading code and have my own 
issues - in which case I apologize already now and go to the corner 
while being deeply ashamed :)

I think this assumption is slightly unsafe. I see few drivers adding 
IIO_CONST_ATTRs in attribute groups. For example the bmc150 and adxl372 
add the hwfifo_watermark_min and hwfifo_watermark_max.

Long story short (or the other way around?)

I was developing a driver for ROHM/Kionix KX022A accelerometer. I did a 
random pick and chose the bmc150-core as a reference how others have 
implemented the accel drivers. During the testing I noticed that using 
IIO_CONST_ATTRs for triggered buffers seem to cause access to somewhere 
it shouldn't... Oops.

Reading the code allows me to assume the problem is wrapping the 
attributes to IIO_DEV_ATTRs.

static struct attribute *iio_buffer_wrap_attr(struct iio_buffer *buffer,
+					      struct attribute *attr)
+{
+	struct device_attribute *dattr = to_dev_attr(attr);
+	struct iio_dev_attr *iio_attr;
+
+	iio_attr = kzalloc(sizeof(*iio_attr), GFP_KERNEL);
+	if (!iio_attr)
+		return NULL;
+
+	iio_attr->buffer = buffer;
+	memcpy(&iio_attr->dev_attr, dattr, sizeof(iio_attr->dev_attr));

This copy does assume all attributes are device_attrs, and does not take 
into account that IIO_CONST_ATTRS have the string stored in a struct 
iio_const_attr which is containing the dev_attr. Eg, copying in the 
iio_buffer_wrap_attr() does not copy the string - and later invoking the 
'show' callback goes reading something else than the mentioned string 
because the pointer is not copied.

I believe problem has been there for a while now - introduced by this:
15097c7a1adc ("iio: buffer: wrap all buffer attributes into 
iio_dev_attr") at Feb 2021.

I don't have a fix for you as I am not sure what would be the correct 
fix. We _could_ go through all the IIO drivers and ensure none used 
IIO_CONST_ATTRs for triggered buffers. This would IMHO be just a 
workaround to the real problem - which is assumption that all attributes 
in the attribute group are dev_attrs. Such silent assumptions are 
fragile as we see :)

If we opt treating all attributes in the group as device_attrs also in 
the future, then (in my not always so humble opinion) the APIs should 
force this - but I'm not sure how to do that.

Best regards

I would like to add at least the at91-sama5d2_adc (conditonally 
registers the IIO_CONST_ATTR for triggered-buffer) to the list of 
devices that could be potentially tested. I hope some of these devices 
had a user who could either make us worried and verify my assumption - 
or make me ashamed but rest of us relieved :) Eg - I second my request 
for testing this - and add potential owners of at91-sama5d2_adc to the list.

Hi Matti,

+CC Alexandru on a current email address.

I saw this whilst travelling and completely forgot about when
I was back to normal - so great you sent a follow up!

Anyhow, your reasoning seems correct and it would be easy enough
to add such a case to iio/dummy/iio_simple_dummy_buffer.c and
provide a clear test for the problem.

As to solutions. The quickest is probably to switch these const attrs
over to a non const form and add a comment to the header to say they are
unsuitable for use with buffers.

An alternative would be to make it 'safe' by making the data layouts
match up.

struct iio_attr {
	struct device_attribute dev_attr;
	union {
		u64 address;
		const char *string;
	};
	struct list_head l;
	struct iio_chan_spec const *c;
	struct iio_buffer *buffer;
};

#define iio_dev_attr iio_attr
#define iio_const_attr iio_attr

Looking at this raises another potential problem.
Where is the address copied over for attributes using IIO_DEVICE_ATTR()?
Maybe I'm just missing it somewhere.  Grepping suggests we've been
lucky and there are no users of that field in buffer attributes.

Detecting the problem you found is going to be inherently tricky - though maybe
could rely on the naming of the attributes passed in (iio_const...)
and some scripting magic. 

Longer term, it's this sort of thing that motivates protections / runnable
CI self tests with, for example, the roadtest framework that I'm hoping
will be available upstream soonish!

Would you like to send patches given you identified the problem?

If not I'm happy to fix these up. My grepping identified the same 3 cases
you found.

Jonathan

Thinking a little more on this - all / (most?) of the users pass a null terminated
array of struct device_attribute * to *iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ext()

That's then assigned to buffer->attrs. 
We could add an additional pointer to the struct iio_buffer to take
a null terminated array of struct iio_dev_attr *
and change the signature of that function to take one of those, thus
preventing us using iio_const_attr structures for this.

Then we can wrap those just fine in the code you highlighted and assign the
result into buffer->attrs.

We'd need to precede that change with fixes that just switch the
iio_const_attr uses over to iio_dev_attr but changing this would ensure no
accidental reintroductions of the problem in future drivers (typically
as a result of someone forward porting a driver that is out of tree).

I think this combination of fix then prevent future problems is what
I would prefer.

Yes. I would also rather see pointer to array of struct iio_dev_attr * 
if we continue keeping the assumption that attrs are of type iio_dev_attr.

Again I do agree. Besides change of const_attrs is necessary in any case 
if we don't change the wrapping.

I am in any case about to send couple of patches to IIO. The devm-helper 
usage (v2 - I sent v1 from my other email address (mazziesaccount) - but 
I am the same person :] ) and a new accelerometer driver. So, I can look 
also at this change while I am at it if you're busy).

Feel free to patch this if you wish. Just please let me know if you take 
care of this so we don't do double the work :)

I'm never one to turn down a volunteer, so I'll leave these for you :)

Plenty of other things on the todo list that I can be getting on with.

Took me a while to get to this and read in-depth.
Yep.
Apologies.
I omitted the IIO_CONST_ATTRs when I did that change.

I've checked it on sama5d2_xplained board on v6.0 and it returns (null) for
both hwfifo_watermark_max and hwfifo_watermark_min:

# cat hwfifo_watermark_max
(null)
# cat hwfifo_watermark_min
(null)


With your series at [1] I have:
# cat hwfifo_watermark_max
128
# cat hwfifo_watermark_min
2

Thank you,
Claudiu Beznea
