[PATCH v2 0/4] IIO: Alignment fixes part 4 - bounce buffers for the hard cases.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks to Andy and Nuno for reviews.

Chances since V1/RFC:
* Renamed the function to iio_push_to_buffer_with_ts_unaligned()
* Fixed the various bugs people pointed out.
* Used more standard realloc handling to be more 'obviously' correct.
* Added some additional comments on the sizing of the copy to explain why
  it is a conservative estimate and may copy more than strictly necessary.

A few things we discussed I didn't do (for now)...

I decided against adding explicit bounce buffer allocation calls for now,
though I'm open to doing that in future if we find doing the somewhat hidden
realloc to be a problem.

I haven't computed a more precise data_sz as I don't thing the benefits
of a more precise copy or not passing the size, make it worth the slight
reduction in complexity for the callers.  Again, open to revisiting this
in future!

I tested it by hacking the dummy driver to shift it's data by one
byte and call iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts_unaligned().

Strictly a hack. I definitely don't want to move this driver over to this
new interface as it might encourage inappropriate use.

v1 description:

I finally got around to do a manual audit of all the calls to
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() which has the somewhat odd requirements
of:
1. 8 byte alignment of the provided buffer.
2. space for an 8 byte naturally aligned timestamp to be inserted at the
   end.

Unfortunately there were rather a lot of these left, but time to bite the bullet
and clean them up.

As discussed previous in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20200920112742.170751-1-jic23@xxxxxxxxxx/
it is not easy to fix the alignment issue without requiring a bounce buffer.
This final part of the 4 sets of fixes is concerned with the cases where
bounce buffers are the proposed solutions.

In these cases we have hardware that reads a prefix that we wish to
drop. That makes it hard to directly read the data into the correct location.

Rather than implementing bouce buffers in each case, this set provides some
magic in the core to handle them via a new function.
iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts_na() - non aligned

Note this is totally untested as I don't have suitable hardware or emulation.
I can fake something up in the dummy driver or via QEMU but I definitely want
both eyes and testing on this series!
