You can't mmap your buffers, you can't splice a IIO data stream to another file descriptor, there is no support for zero copy. So your bottleneck will become that you have to copy lots of data around. But it is certainly something that will be added at some point. So implementing the driver as a IIO driver is definitely the right direction. - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
