[PATCH v2 21/22] iio: accel: adxl345: sync FIFO reading with sensor
Posted by Lothar Rubusch 1 year, 2 months ago
Pause the measurement while reading fifo values. Initially an interrupt
is triggered if watermark of the FIFO is reached, or in case of
OVERRUN. The sensor stays mute until FIFO is cleared and interrupts are
read. Situations now can arise when the watermark is configured to a
lower value. While reading the values, new values arrive such that a
permanent OVERRUN state of the FIFO is reached, i.e. either the FIFO
never gets emptied entirely because of permanently new arriving
measurements. No more interrupts will be issued and the setup results
in OVERRUN. To avoid such situation, stop measuring while solving an
OVERRUN condition and generally reading FIFO entries.

Whilst solving overrun it makes sense.  Whilst dealing with a watermark
interrupt not so much.  The whole point of those is to allow capture
of data without missing samples. We should continue to acquire data
during the readback.
