[PATCH] iio: adc: ti-ads7950: use iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts_unaligned()
Posted by David Lechner 1 month ago
Use iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts_unaligned() to avoid unaligned access
when writing the timestamp in the rx_buf.

The previous implementation would have been fine on architectures that
support 4-byte alignment of 64-bit integers but could cause issues on
architectures that require 8-byte alignment.

Since we were looking at this driver, I was going to convert this to use
IIO_DECLARE_DMA_BUFFER_WITH_TS() but then I noticed that we actually
have an unaligned access problem with the timestamp since we are
ignoring the first two elements in the rx_buf when pushing the data to
the buffer.

Unfortunately, this will cause a merge conflict with the series Dmitry
is working on. I don't think there is any rush to get this backported
since no one has reported a crash from unaligned access. Since fixes
should go before improvements, we could apply this to iio/togreg then
Dmitry can rebase his series on top of it.

sizeof(*st->rx_buf) OR sizeof(st->rx_buf[2]) ?
