Please crop out bits of the discussion we aren't continuing. Makes it easier to find the relevant parts of the email!

If it works and ends up simpler than this I'm all for it, but I'll confess you've lost me in the explanation. Whether the approach you are using here ends up more efficient than the one in the demux (which IIRC works by doing an expensive copy map building just once and can then use that to do things like merging copies of neighbouring elements) will be dependent on exact combinations of enabled channels. There is also a usecase question for how much effort it is worth putting in to optimise these paths. In a lot of cases people have put an IMU in because their application needs one so will be grabbing almost all channels all the time. It is unlikely they want a random set of scattered channels. > > > > + */ > > > +static int bno055_scan_xfer(struct bno055_priv *priv, > > > + int start_ch, int len, unsigned long mask, > > > + __le16 *buf, int *buf_idx) > > > +{ > > > + const int base = BNO055_ACC_DATA_X_LSB_REG; > > > + bool quat_in_read = false; > > > + int buf_base = *buf_idx; > > > + __le16 *dst, *src; > > > + int offs_fixup = 0; > > > + int xfer_len = len; > > > + int ret; > > > + int i, n; > > > + > > > + /* > > > + * All chans are made up 1 16-bit sample, except for quaternion that is > > > + * made up 4 16-bit values. > > > + * For us the quaternion CH is just like 4 regular CHs. > > > + * If our read starts past the quaternion make sure to adjust the > > > + * starting offset; if the quaternion is contained in our scan then make > > > + * sure to adjust the read len. > > > + */ > > > + if (start_ch > BNO055_SCAN_QUATERNION) { > > > + start_ch += 3; > > > + } else if ((start_ch <= BNO055_SCAN_QUATERNION) && > > > + ((start_ch + len) > BNO055_SCAN_QUATERNION)) { > > > + quat_in_read = true; > > > + xfer_len += 3; > > > + } > > > + > > > + ret = regmap_bulk_read(priv->regmap, > > > + base + start_ch * sizeof(__le16), > > > + buf + buf_base, > > > + xfer_len * sizeof(__le16)); > > > + if (ret) > > > + return ret; > > > + > > > + for_each_set_bit(i, &mask, len) { > > > + if (quat_in_read && ((start_ch + i) > BNO055_SCAN_QUATERNION)) > > > + offs_fixup = 3; > > > + > > > + dst = buf + *buf_idx; > > > + src = buf + buf_base + offs_fixup + i; > > > + > > > + n = (start_ch + i == BNO055_SCAN_QUATERNION) ? 4 : 1; > > > + > > > + if (dst != src) > > > + memcpy(dst, src, n * sizeof(__le16)); > > > + > > > + *buf_idx += n; > > > + } > > > + return 0; > > > +} > > > + > > > +static irqreturn_t bno055_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p) > > > +{ > > > + struct iio_poll_func *pf = p; > > > + struct iio_dev *iio_dev = pf->indio_dev; > > > + struct bno055_priv *priv = iio_priv(iio_dev); > > > + int xfer_start, start, end, prev_end; > > > + bool xfer_pending = false; > > > + bool first = true; > > > + unsigned long mask; > > > + int buf_idx = 0; > > > + bool thr_hit; > > > + int quat; > > > + int ret; > > > + > > > + mutex_lock(&priv->lock); > > > + for_each_set_bitrange(start, end, iio_dev->active_scan_mask, > > > + iio_dev->masklength) { > > > > I'm not seeing this function in mainline...
