The buffer-dma code was using two queues, incoming and outgoing, to

While this totally works, it adds some complexity to the code,
especially since the code only manages 2 blocks. It is much
easier to
just check each block's state manually, and keep a counter for
the next
block to dequeue.
Since the new DMABUF based API wouldn't use these incoming and
outgoing
queues anyway, getting rid of them now makes the upcoming changes
simpler.

The outgoing queue is going to be replaced by fences, but I think
we need to keep the incoming queue.
Blocks are always accessed in sequential order, so we now have a
"queue->next_dequeue" that cycles between the buffers
allocated for fileio.

If iio_dma_buffer_enqueue() is called with a dmabuf and the
buffer is not active, it will be marked as queued, but we
don't actually keep a reference to it anywhere. It will
never be submitted to the DMA, and it will never be
signaled as completed.
We do keep a reference to the buffers, in the queue->fileio.blocks
array. When the buffer is enabled, all the blocks in that
array that are in the "queued" state will be submitted to the
DMA.
But not when used in combination with the DMA buf changes later in
this series.
That's still the case after the DMABUF changes of the series. Or can
you point me exactly what you think is broken?
When you allocate a DMABUF with the allocate IOCTL and then submit it
with the enqueue IOCTL before the buffer is enabled it will end up
marked as queued, but not actually be queued anywhere.
Ok, it works for me because I never enqueue blocks before enabling the
buffer. I can add a requirement that blocks must be enqueued only
after the buffer is enabled.
I don't think that is a good idea. This way you are going to potentially
drop data at the begining of your stream when the DMA isn't ready yet.
