Subject: [PATCH v4 0/6] iio: core: Add mmap interface infrastructure

Changelog v3 -> v4:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/[email protected]/T/
* added patch 'iio: buffer-dma: reduce the type of block.size to u32'
- resolves error on 64 bit archs; 32 bit block size should be enough
* in patch 'iio: buffer-dma: Add mmap support'
- added 'linux/types.h' include in uapi buffer.h header; an error
shows up when building with 'make allmodconfig'
* in patch 'tools: iio: add example for high-speed buffer support'
- calling ioctl(BOCK_FREE) only if use_high_speed is true

Changelog v2 -> v3:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/[email protected]/T/#u
* added 'Documentation: iio: add doc for high-speed buffer API'
* add 'iio: buffer-dma: split iio_dma_buffer_fileio_free() function'
* patch 'iio: buffer-dma: Add mmap support'
- unwind free on error path in iio_dma_buffer_alloc_blocks()
- removed double mm.h include
* patch 'tools: iio: add example for high-speed buffer support'
- call IIO_BUFFER_BLOCK_FREE_IOCTL on the error path of the
enable_high_speed() function

Changelog v1 -> v2:
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/[email protected]/T/#t
* removed IIO_BUFFER_BLOCK_FLAG_CYCLIC flag; will be added in a later
patch
* removed extra line in tools/iio/iio_generic_buffer.c
* patch 'iio: core: Add mmap interface infrastructure'
added docstrings for new hooks (alloc_blocks, mmap, etc)

This is basically Lars' work adapted from branch:
https://github.com/larsclausen/linux/commits/iio-high-speed-5.10
[hopefully i got the stuff correctly from that branch]

What is different, is that this one is adapted on top of the multibuffer
support (currently at v5) discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/[email protected]/T/#t

Also, adapted an example for high-speed/mmap support in
'tools/iio/iio_generic_buffer.c'

The example is adapted from libiio:
https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio/blob/master/local.c#L51
but will all the ioctl()s organized after the one that are reserved
(hopefully) for IIO

Tested that mmap() works.
Moved (artifically) valid buffer0 as buffer2 and the operation still
works.

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] iio: core: Add mmap interface infrastructure

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <[email protected]>

Add the necessary infrastructure to the IIO core to support an mmap based
interface to access the capture data.

The advantage of the mmap based interface compared to the read() based
interface is that it avoids an extra copy of the data between kernel and
userspace. This is particular useful for high-speed devices which produce
several megabytes or even gigabytes of data per second.

The data for the mmap interface is managed at the granularity of so called
blocks. A block is a contiguous region of memory (at the moment both
physically and virtually contiguous). Reducing the granularity from byte
level to block level is done to reduce the userspace-kernelspace
synchronization overhead since performing syscalls for each byte at a
data-rate of a few megabytes is not feasible.

This of course leads to a slightly increased latency. For this reason an
application can choose the size of the blocks as well as how many blocks it
allocates. E.g. two blocks would be a traditional double buffering scheme.
But using a higher number might be necessary to avoid underflow/overflow
situations in the presence of scheduling latencies.

A block can either be owned by kernel space or userspace. When owned by
userspace it save to access the data in the block and process it. When
owned by kernel space the block can be in one of 3 states.

It can be in the incoming queue where all blocks submitted from userspace
are placed and are waiting to be processed by the kernel driver.

It can be currently being processed by the kernel driver, this means it is
actively placing capturing data in it (usually using DMA).

Or it can be in the outgoing queue where all blocks that have been
processed by the kernel are placed. Userspace can dequeue the blocks as
necessary.

As part of the interface 5 new IOCTLs to manage the blocks and exchange
them between userspace and kernelspace. The IOCTLs can be accessed through
a open file descriptor to a IIO device.

IIO_BUFFER_BLOCK_ALLOC_IOCTL(struct iio_buffer_block_alloc_req *):
Allocates new blocks. Can be called multiple times if necessary. A newly
allocated block is initially owned by userspace.

IIO_BUFFER_BLOCK_FREE_IOCTL(void):
Frees all previously allocated blocks. If the backing memory of a block is
still in use by a kernel driver (i.e. active DMA transfer) it will be
freed once the kernel driver has released it.

IIO_BUFFER_BLOCK_QUERY_IOCTL(struct iio_buffer_block *):
Queries information about a block. The id of the block about which
information is to be queried needs to be set by userspace.

IIO_BUFFER_BLOCK_ENQUEUE_IOCTL(struct iio_buffer_block *):
Places a block on the incoming queue. This transfers ownership of the
block from userspace to kernelspace. Userspace must populate the id field
of the block to indicate which block to enqueue.

IIO_BUFFER_BLOCK_DEQUEUE_IOCTL(struct iio_buffer_block *):
Removes the first block from the outgoing queue. This transfers ownership
of the block from kernelspace to userspace. Kernelspace will populate all
fields of the block. If the queue is empty and the file descriptor is set
to blocking the IOCTL will block until a new block is available on the
outgoing queue.

To access the data stored in a block by userspace the block must be mapped
to the process's memory. This is done by calling mmap() on the IIO device
file descriptor. Each block has a unique offset assigned to it which should
be passed to the mmap interface. E.g.

mmap(0, block.size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd,
block.offset);

A typical workflow for the new interface is:

BLOCK_ALLOC

foreach block
BLOCK_QUERY block
mmap block.data.offset
BLOCK_ENQUEUE block

enable buffer

while !done
BLOCK_DEQUEUE block
process data
BLOCK_ENQUEUE block

disable buffer

BLOCK_FREE

Subject: [PATCH v4 6/6] tools: iio: add example for high-speed buffer support

Following a recent update to the IIO buffer infrastructure, this change
adds a basic example on how to access an IIO buffer via the new mmap()
interface.

The ioctl() for the high-speed mode needs to be enabled right from the
start, before setting any parameters via sysfs (length, enable, etc), to
make sure that the mmap mode is used and not the fileio mode.
