    iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device · f73f7f4d
    Alexandru Ardelean authored
    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 an FD for the requested buffer index. The indexes
    are the same from the /sys/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY (i.e. the Y
    variable).
    
    Since there doesn't seem to be a sane way to return the FD for buffer0 to
    be the same FD for the /dev/iio:deviceX, this ioctl() will return another
    FD for buffer0 (or the first buffer). This duplicate FD will be able to
    access the same buffer object (for buffer0) as accessing directly the
    /dev/iio:deviceX chardev.
    
    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 4
    
     # ./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.
