[PATCH v2 0/2] iio: accel: kionix-kx022a: unify staging buffer and convert to iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts()

[PATCH v2 0/2] iio: accel: kionix-kx022a: unify staging buffer and convert to iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts()

[Gabriel Rondon]

v1 was a single patch converting the two push sites to
iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts(). Reviewing it, Jonathan pointed out that
the driver carries two separate staging areas holding the same thing
(buffer[8] and the scan struct), and asked to fold the cleanup into this
set.

So v2 is a two-patch series: patch 1 drops the redundant buffer and
routes the one-shot read and the triggered handler through scan, and
patch 2 does the deprecated-API conversion, now with a single buffer to
push at both sites.

Changes in v2:
- New patch 1: drop buffer[8], use scan for the one-shot read and the
  triggered handler, move IIO_DMA_MINALIGN onto scan (Jonathan)
- Patch 2 now pushes data->scan at both sites instead of data->buffer

[PATCH v2 1/2] iio: accel: kionix-kx022a: use scan struct for one-shot and trigger reads

[Gabriel Rondon]

The driver kept two separate staging areas that hold the same thing:
buffer[8], a DMA-aligned area used by the one-shot read in
kx022a_get_axis() and by the triggered handler, and the scan struct,
used by the FIFO flush path. Both are three __le16 channels plus room
for the timestamp.

Drop buffer and route the one-shot read and the triggered handler
through scan.channels, so the driver has a single staging area. Move the
IIO_DMA_MINALIGN alignment onto scan, since it now backs the regmap bulk
reads that buffer used to.

No functional change. get_axis() only runs via read_raw() under
iio_device_claim_direct(), so it cannot run while the triggered buffer is
active, and the triggered handler only runs while it is; the two never
touch scan concurrently, exactly as they previously shared buffer.

[PATCH v2 2/2] iio: accel: kionix-kx022a: use iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts()

[Gabriel Rondon]

Replace the deprecated iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() with
iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts(), which takes the destination buffer size
and checks it against scan_bytes at runtime.

Both push sites now use data->scan ({ __le16 channels[3]; aligned_s64
ts; }, IIO_DMA_MINALIGN aligned), which is 16 bytes and matches
scan_bytes for the 3-axis plus s64 timestamp layout used by all
supported variants, so pass sizeof(data->scan).

Nice.  All looks good to me, so I'll queue it up.

Applied to the testing branch of iio.git which will be rebased on rc1 once
available.

Note that there is plenty of time for additional feedback, tags or indeed
me to drop it again if someone spots something I missed.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Eh, what is this explanation above? As far as I understand, the 
iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts() has a safety mechanism of checking the 
passed buffer size. So, size of the buffer must be passed, no matter 
what the buffer is designed to contain.

By the way, to my eye the commit message looks AI generated, which is 
perfectly fine. But AFAICS, AI generated patches should be tagged as AI 
generated. Hence, if you use AI to do the changes, please ask the AI to 
check the docs and also add necessary tags :)

Ah, Jonathan was quick and efficient :)
I'll drop my comments to 'nits' in order to not generate more work for

And I, in the opposite, insist on mine against patch 1 as I consider that that
makes code easier to read and follow.
