[PATCH v3 11/11] iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device

From: Alexandru Ardelean
Date: Mon Feb 01 2021 - 10:18:08 EST


With this change, an ioctl() call is added to open a character device for a
buffer. The ioctl() number is 'i' 0x91, which follows the
IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL ioctl.

The ioctl() will return a 0 FD for the first buffer, as that FD for buffer0
is the same FD as the one used for this ioctl().

For any other extra buffer, this ioctl() will return an anon inode FD that
would access any extra buffer.

Right now, there doesn't seem to be (or I couldn't find) a way for this
ioctl() to return the FD for buffer0 (i.e. to return the same FD as used
for the ioctl()).
So, usespace would need to know that ioctl(fd,
IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL, 0) will return FD 0.
We could also return another FD for buffer 0, but duplicating FDs for the
same IIO buffer sounds problematic.

Also, there is no IIO_BUFFER_GET_BUFFER_COUNT ioctl() implemented, as the
index for each buffer (and the count) can be deduced from the
'/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY' folders (i.e the number of
bufferY folders).

Used following C code to test this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <fcntl.h"
#include <errno.h>

#define IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL _IOWR('i', 0x91, int)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
int fd1;
int ret;

if ((fd = open("/dev/iio:device0", O_RDWR))<0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error open() %d errno %d\n",fd, errno);
return -1;
}

fprintf(stderr, "Using FD %d\n", fd);

fd1 = atoi(argv[1]);

ret = ioctl(fd, IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL, &fd1);
if (ret < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error for buffer %d ioctl() %d errno %d\n", fd1, ret, errno);
close(fd);
return -1;
}

fprintf(stderr, "Got FD %d\n", fd1);

close(fd1);
close(fd);

return 0;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Results are:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# ./test 0
Using FD 3
Got FD 0

# ./test 1
Using FD 3
Got FD 4

# ./test 2
Using FD 3
Got FD 4

# ./test 3
Using FD 3
Got FD 4

# ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0
buffer buffer0 buffer1 buffer2 buffer3 dev
in_voltage_sampling_frequency in_voltage_scale
in_voltage_scale_available
name of_node power scan_elements subsystem uevent
-------------------------------------------------------------------

iio:device0 has some fake kfifo buffers attached to an IIO device.
