Hi!

Hmm. Looks like there's a lot of fun to be had with sysfs.

Strace says:

fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

kernel:[ 3097.357696] Internal error: Oops: 80000007 [#2] ARM

So that would be:

./devices/platform/68000000.ocp/48072000.i2c/i2c-2/2-0029/iio:device1/events/in_intensity_both_thresh_rising_en

And indeed, manually cat-ing that file reproduces the problem.

pavel@n900:/sys/devices/platform/68000000.ocp/48072000.i2c/i2c-2/2-0029/iio:device1$
cat name
tsl2563

I can not find tsl2563 in MAINTAINERS, file is
./drivers/iio/light/tsl2563.c . I added few people pointed by git log.

Best regards,
Pavel

The driver registers event attributes, but does not provide a handle to
access those attributes.

Now the question is how to best handle this case.

1) Return an error when the device is registered and abort registration
2) Skip registering the event attributes
3) Skip registering the event attributes, but print a warning
4) Register the attributes, but return an error when they are accessed

I'd prefer 2 since it offers a nice method of disabling all events for a
device (e.g. if not interrupt is provided).

On the other hand it could cause some confusion during development,
potentially causing the developer to wonder why he doesn't get any event
attributes even though he setup his channel description to have event
attributes.

Patch for 2.

This problem happens when no irq is defined for this device.

In this case, tsl2563_info_no_irq whose read_event_config field is NULL
is selected as iio_info. On the other hand, iio_chan_spec for this
driver always registers event_spec.

So sysfs files related to the channel events are always created even if
no irq is defined.

I think we can fix this issue by defining another iio_chan_spec with
no event_spec for no irq case.

Jonathan, do you have any other idea how to fix this issue?

2 works for me.

Now grep -ri asdfasdf /sys finishes.

Hmm. I'd count this as a good general prevention of what is actually
a driver bug. The driver should either have failed or as has been suggested
should have come up without the event sysfs attributes by registering different
abilities.

So I'm favour of this change, but from a semantic point of view I'd
like the addition of a warning for this case and ideally for the driver
to be fixed to not attempt to add them (two iio_info structures which
is what a lot of other drivers do to allow them to work with and
without the interrupt being available.).

Anyhow, Lars, please send a formal patch for the below and we'll
get that headed for mainline asap.
