The current locking is only preventing a triggered buffer Transfer and a debugfs register access from happening at the same time. If a register access happens during a buffered read, the action is doomed to fail anyway, since we need to write a magic value to exit continuous read mode. Remove locking from the trigger handler and use iio_device_claim_direct_mode() instead in the register access function. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Santos <Jonathan.Santos@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v3 Changes: * Also removed the mutex_init and lock variable. v2 Changes: * New patch in v2. It replaces the guard(mutex) patch. --- drivers/iio/adc/ad7768-1.c | 21 +++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/adc/ad7768-1.c b/drivers/iio/adc/ad7768-1.c index 2e2d50ccb744..f5509a0a36ab 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/adc/ad7768-1.c +++ b/drivers/iio/adc/ad7768-1.c @@ -154,7 +154,6 @@ static const struct iio_chan_spec ad7768_channels[] = { struct ad7768_state { struct spi_device *spi; struct regulator *vref; - struct mutex lock; struct clk *mclk; unsigned int mclk_freq; unsigned int samp_freq; @@ -256,18 +255,21 @@ static int ad7768_reg_access(struct iio_dev *indio_dev, struct ad7768_state *st = iio_priv(indio_dev); int ret; - mutex_lock(&st->lock); + ret = iio_device_claim_direct_mode(indio_dev); + if (ret) + return ret; + if (readval) { ret = ad7768_spi_reg_read(st, reg, 1); if (ret < 0) - goto err_unlock; + goto err_release; *readval = ret; ret = 0; } else { ret = ad7768_spi_reg_write(st, reg, writeval); } -err_unlock: - mutex_unlock(&st->lock); +err_release: + iio_device_release_direct_mode(indio_dev); return ret; } @@ -471,18 +473,15 @@ static irqreturn_t ad7768_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p) struct ad7768_state *st = iio_priv(indio_dev); int ret; - mutex_lock(&st->lock); - ret = spi_read(st->spi, &st->data.scan.chan, 3); if (ret < 0) - goto err_unlock; + goto out; iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(indio_dev, &st->data.scan, iio_get_time_ns(indio_dev)); -err_unlock: +out: iio_trigger_notify_done(indio_dev->trig); - mutex_unlock(&st->lock); return IRQ_HANDLED; } @@ -611,8 +610,6 @@ static int ad7768_probe(struct spi_device *spi) st->mclk_freq = clk_get_rate(st->mclk); - mutex_init(&st->lock); - indio_dev->channels = ad7768_channels; indio_dev->num_channels = ARRAY_SIZE(ad7768_channels); indio_dev->name = spi_get_device_id(spi)->name; -- 2.34.1
