The aim of this is to improve a bit the organization of ioctl() calls in IIO core. Currently the chardev is split across IIO core sub-modules/files. The main chardev has to be able to handle ioctl() calls, and if we need to add buffer ioctl() calls, this would complicate things. The 'industrialio-core.c' file will provide a 'iio_device_ioctl()' which will iterate over a list of ioctls registered with the IIO device. These can be event ioctl() or buffer ioctl() calls, or something else. Each ioctl() handler will have to return a IIO_IOCTL_UNHANDLED code (which is positive 1), if the ioctl() did not handle the call in any. This eliminates any potential ambiguities about negative error codes, which should fail the call altogether. If any ioctl() returns 0, it was considered that it was serviced successfully and the loop will exit. This change also moves the handling of the IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL command inside 'industrialio-event.c', where this is better suited. This patch is a combination of 2 other patches from an older series: Patch 1: iio: core: add simple centralized mechanism for ioctl() handlers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20200427131100.50845-6-alexandru.ardelean@analog.com/ Patch 2: iio: core: use new common ioctl() mechanism Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20200427131100.50845-7-alexandru.ardelean@analog.com/ Signed-off-by: Alexandru Ardelean <alexandru.ardelean@analog.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200924084155.99406-1-alexandru.ardelean@analog.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> |
