Hi Justin,

Unfortunately the existing driver is making incorrect use of
the indio_dev->mlock mutex.  That used to get abused a lot before
we clamped down on it being for only one purpose, protection of
the 'mode' of the iio device. It's about stopping anything interfering
with buffered captures by talking to the device in a way that breaks
them.

I'm not sure if the original driver was trying to use it for this
purpose and protecting it's buffers.  Even if so, there should be
an additional local lock to cover those chip specific elements.
Any use of mlock should be through the iio_device_claim_direct_mode
function etc.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Nope.  This is a state lock used to protect against transitions between
different modes of the IIO device (buffered vs polled), it
isn't suitable for general use.

The driver should be modified to handle that correctly.
We have iio_claim_direct_mode etc that deal with the case
where a device can't do certain operations whilst in buffered
mode.  Note it can fail and should.

Seems there are more drivers still doing this than I thought.
If anyone is bored and wants to clean them out, that would be
most appreciated!

If you need locking to protect a local buffer or the device
state, define a new lock to do it with clearly documented
scope.

What stops us putting the chip structure inside the existing
info structure?  That avoids the need to separately allocate
memory and to set the pointer.  A cleaner option all round.

Hmm. As a general rule I'm against things having pointers to the structure
that contains them as it usual means something is inconsistent in the
software architecture.

From the above, looks like this is about accessing mlock. The driver
shouldn't be doing that directly at all, so a precursor to this
patch cleaning that up would be great.

Why are we not treating this as an error?  I can't see any
obvious reason to make that choice.
