      iio: Wakeup poll and blocking reads when the device is unregistered · d2f0a48f
      Lars-Peter Clausen authored 
      Once the device has been unregistered there won't be any new data no matter how
long a userspace application waits, so we might as well wake them up and let
them know.

      iio: Return -ENODEV for file operations if the device has been unregistered · f18e7a06
      Lars-Peter Clausen authored 
      If the IIO device has been unregistered return -ENODEV for any further file
operations like read() and ioctl(). This avoids userspace being able to grab new
references to the device.

      iio: Add reference counting for buffers · 9e69c935
      Lars-Peter Clausen authored 
      Since the buffer is accessed by userspace we can not just free the buffers
memory once we are done with it in kernel space. There might still be open file
descriptors and userspace still might be accessing the buffer. This patch adds
support for reference counting to the IIO buffers. When a buffer is created and
initialized its initial reference count is set to 1. Instead of freeing the
memory of the buffer the buffer's _free() function will drop that reference
again. But only after the last reference to the buffer has been dropped the
buffer the buffer's memory will be freed. The IIO device will take a reference
to its primary buffer. The patch adds a small helper function for this called
iio_device_attach_buffer() which will get a reference to the buffer and assign
the buffer to the IIO device. This function must be used instead of assigning
the buffer to the device by hand. The reference is only dropped once the IIO
device is freed and we can be sure that there are no more open file handles. A
reference to a buffer will also be taken whenever the buffer is active to avoid
the buffer being freed while data is still being send to it.
