SubjectRe: [PATCH] iio: magnetometer: Add support for PNI RM3100 9-axis magnetometer
Hi Song,

...

Please crop emails down to the relevant section when replying. Lots of scrolling
for everyone otherwise and sometimes things get missed when doing that.

A couple of reasons for this:

1. It's much nicer to have the same spacing independent of the architecture
as it saves having to have userspace code do different things depending on
what the kernel is running at, which may not be the same as userspace.

2. The size of a memory read is not the only scale that makes sense for
alignment. In theory at least you can have fun and games like crossing of
cacheline boundaries if you do 64 bit access only at 32bits aligned on a
32 bit platform. Won't hit all that often with typically 64 byte cachelines
but it is the sort of subtle effect you get when you don't go with
'naturally' aligned. (which is what aligning to an elements own size is
normally called IIRC).

Nope it shouldn't do the 64/96 need to tell you because it uses
the rules of natural alignment which are easy for userspace to predict.
So in this second case there is no need to pad so it doesn't - whereas the
4 bytes are needed in the first case.

We could have explicitly output the offsets and kept things more flexible
but that would have prevented some general optimizations on the userspace
side for common cases. If you are reading a 3 axis accelerometer for
example with timestamp then you can probably safely prebake optimized handling
for,

1B (x), 1B (y), 1B(z), 5B(pad), 8B(ts)

2B (x), 2B (y), 2B(z), 2B(pad), 8B(ts)

in reality no one ever goes higher than this because accelerometers aren't
accurate enough...

If we did anything more complex we'd need to describe to userspace in some
sense what was happening beyond the static data currently provided (when
combined with the ordering and enables) and that makes for a complex ABI
we don't need.

Also we'd have to do unaligned puts of the u64 timestamp in kernel which
is nasty.
