[PATCH v2 0/3] iio: accel: bmc150: DMA-safe buffers and use iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts()

[Yash Suthar]

The trigger path used a plain s16 buffer while the FIFO path already had
a properly typed scan member (__le16 + aligned timestamp). Those two
buffers did the same job, and s16 does not represent little-endian data.
Drop the duplicate, keep scan at the end of struct bmc150_accel_data with
IIO_DMA_MINALIGN, and use it for both the trigger and FIFO paths.

The FIFO and read_raw buffers are passed to regmap bulk/raw reads, which
is not DMA-safe. Move them into struct bmc150_accel_data after scan and
aligned to IIO_DMA_MINALIGN.

Finally, replace the deprecated iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() with
iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts() so the push sites pass an explicit buffer
size.

This supersedes the earlier standalone patches:

[PATCH v2 1/3] iio: accel: bmc150: use aligned scan buffer for both trigger and fifo

[Yash Suthar]

Drop buffer as duplicate and s16 is not correct we needed __le16 as little
endian, keep scan at the end of the bmc150_accel_data struct with
IIO_DMA_MINALIGN, and use it for both paths.

[PATCH v2 2/3] iio: accel: bmc150: use DMA-safe buffers for regmap bulk reads

[Yash Suthar]

The FIFO and read_raw buffers are passed to regmap bulk/raw reads
,which is not DMA-safe.Moved them into struct bmc150_accel_data
after scan, each aligned to IIO_DMA_MINALIGN.

Built the series on top of current iio/togreg with gcc 13.3, x86_64
allmodconfig and W=1: the three bmc150 objects (core, i2c, spi) compile
cleanly with no new warnings.

I also used it as the base for v4 of my bmc150 series (event-enable
race fix + guard(mutex) conversion), which is rebased on top of these
patches:

Even nicer if you replace AXIS_MAX * 2 with sizeof(data->scan.channels)
and also drop the AXIS_MAX definition as no longer used.

Relevant to the next patch - what is this lock actually protecting?
At first glance I'd assume the buffer, but then we drop the lock before
we are done with that.

This is still using scan, but the lock has been released.

My main question here is around locking and whether we need
to space all 3 buffers out in a cache line each. That is painful
on some architectures.  If we ensure that DMA to one of these
never overlaps with the CPU accessing a different one, then we can
just mark the first one as IIO_DMA_MINALIGN.

This is potentially a lot of padding that might not be necessary.
What locking protects these?  I'd kind of expect all 3 to be used
under a single lock.  If that's the case and locks are held for all
such usage, then we can just force alignment of the first one.
