Instead of guessing where the data starts, we now just try to decode from every possible start position. This causes no additional overhead if we properly received the full preamble and only costs a few extra CPU cycles in the case where the preamble is corrupted. This is much more efficient than to return an error to userspace and start over again. Signed-off-by: Harald Geyer <harald@xxxxxxxxx> --- Jonathan Bell: Can you test if this fixes the problems you reported on RPi? (It does fix problems I noticed when I slowed down my test HW with enabling the debug logging introduced later in this series, so including this patch is a good thing even if it doesn't fix Jonathan's problems.) drivers/iio/humidity/dht11.c | 15 +++++++++------ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/humidity/dht11.c b/drivers/iio/humidity/dht11.c index 1165b1c..1ca284a 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/humidity/dht11.c +++ b/drivers/iio/humidity/dht11.c @@ -161,7 +161,7 @@ static int dht11_read_raw(struct iio_dev *iio_dev, int *val, int *val2, long m) { struct dht11 *dht11 = iio_priv(iio_dev); - int ret, timeres; + int ret, timeres, offset; mutex_lock(&dht11->lock); if (dht11->timestamp + DHT11_DATA_VALID_TIME < ktime_get_real_ns()) { @@ -208,11 +208,14 @@ static int dht11_read_raw(struct iio_dev *iio_dev, if (ret < 0) goto err; - ret = dht11_decode(dht11, - dht11->num_edges == DHT11_EDGES_PER_READ ? - DHT11_EDGES_PREAMBLE : - DHT11_EDGES_PREAMBLE - 2, - timeres); + offset = DHT11_EDGES_PREAMBLE + + dht11->num_edges - DHT11_EDGES_PER_READ; + for (; offset >= 0; --offset) { + ret = dht11_decode(dht11, offset, timeres); + if (!ret) + break; + } + if (ret) goto err; } -- 2.1.4 -- 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
