Huh. That's an interesting one... Looks like a bug in the core to me that
somehow has never bitten us as no driver has ever done anything other
than explicitly match against other modes.  No one sets currentmode
directly so we should be good just putting this in the core as long
as a device supports direct mode.  I'll look at that when I get a moment.

Hi Jonathan,

Last patch series I submit had 'case 0' for threaded function of interrupt handler. That's just because of this. I greped INDIO_DIRECT_MODE in iio folder, and found out that the iio core only set the driver mode to INDIO_DIRECT_MODE when it leaves buffer mode. Originally I thought when I call 'iio_claim_direct_mode()' the currentmode should be set to INDIO_DIRECT_MODE.

This problem would lead to a potential bug if someone installed the device and use single-shot mode before any buffered read(I met this).

Though it seems like not many drivers use the same architecture I'm using, they don't need to check current mode, I'll look into more drivers.

st_sensors_core.c:589 seems like to choose to treat this as it's a bi-conditional situation with 'if it's in INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED mode, if it's not, no matter what value it is, it's in INDIO_DIRECT_MODE.'


yours,

Song Qiang
