This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: s626: fix continuous acquisition
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: comedi: s626: fix continuous acquisition
For the s626 driver, there is a bug in the handling of asynchronous
commands on the AI subdevice when the stop source is `TRIG_NONE`. The
command should run continuously until cancelled, but the interrupt
handler stops the command running after the first scan.
The command set-up function `s626_ai_cmd()` contains this code:
switch (cmd->stop_src) {
case TRIG_COUNT:
/* data arrives as one packet */
devpriv->ai_sample_count = cmd->stop_arg;
devpriv->ai_continous = 0;
break;
case TRIG_NONE:
/* continous acquisition */
devpriv->ai_continous = 1;
devpriv->ai_sample_count = 0;
break;
}
The interrupt handler `s626_irq_handler()` contains this code:
if (!(devpriv->ai_continous))
devpriv->ai_sample_count--;
if (devpriv->ai_sample_count <= 0) {
devpriv->ai_cmd_running = 0;
/* ... */
}
So `devpriv->ai_sample_count` is only decremented for the `TRIG_COUNT`
case, but `devpriv->ai_cmd_running` is set to 0 (and the command
stopped) regardless.
Fix this in `s626_ai_cmd()` by setting `devpriv->ai_sample_count = 1`
for the `TRIG_NONE` case. The interrupt handler will not decrement it
so it will remain greater than 0 and the check for stopping the
acquisition will fail.
