Comedi's acquisition buffer allocation code can allocate the buffer from
normal kernel memory or from DMA coherent memory depending on the
`dma_async_dir` value in the comedi subdevice. (A value of `DMA_NONE`
causes the buffer to be allocated from normal kernel memory. Other
values cause the buffer to be allocated from DMA coherent memory.) The
buffer currently consists of a bunch of page-sized blocks that are
vmap'ed into a contiguous range of virtual addresses. The pages are also
mmap'able into user address space. For DMA'able buffers, these
page-sized blocks are allocated by `dma_alloc_coherent()`.
For DMA-able buffers, the DMA API is currently abused in various ways,
the most serious abuse being the calling of `virt_to_page()` on the
blocks allocated by `dma_alloc_coherent()` and passing those pages to
`vmap()` (for mapping to the kernels vmalloc address space) and via
`page_to_pfn()` to `remap_pfn_range()` (for mmap'ing to user space). it
also uses the `__GFP_COMP` flag when allocating the blocks, and marks
the allocated pages as reserved (which is unnecessary for DMA coherent
allocations).
The code can be changed to get rid of the vmap'ed address altogether if
necessary, since there are only a few places in the comedi code that use
the vmap'ed address directly and we also keep a list of the kernel
addresses for the individual pages prior to the vmap operation. This
would add some run-time overhead to buffer accesses. The real killer is
the mmap operation.
For mmap, the address range specified in the VMA needs to be mmap'ed to
the individually allocated page-sized blocks. That is not a problem
when the pages are allocated from normal kernel memory as the individual
pages can be remapped by `remap_pfn_range()`, but it is a problem when
the page-sized blocks are allocated by `dma_alloc_coherent()` because
the DMA API currently has no support for splitting a VMA across multiple
blocks of DMA coherent memory (or rather, no support for mapping part of
a VMA range to a single block of DMA coherent memory).
In order to comply with the DMA API and allow the buffer to be mmap'ed,
the buffer needs to be allocated as a single block by a single call to
`dma_alloc_coherent()`, freed by a single call to `dma_free_coherent()`,
and mmap'ed to user space by a single call to `dma_mmap_coherent()`.
This patch changes the buffer allocation, freeing, and mmap'ing code to
do that, with the unfortunate consequence that buffer allocation is more
likely to fail. It also no longer uses the `__GFP_COMP` flag when
allocating DMA coherent memory, no longer marks the
allocated pages of DMA coherent memory as reserved, and no longer vmap's
the DMA coherent memory pages (since they are contiguous anyway).

Lots of functions in the core comedi module expect the mutex in `struct
comedi_device` to be held, so add calls to `lockdep_assert_held()` to
check and document that. An unusual case is the calls to
`lockdep_assert_held()` after successful return from
`comedi_alloc_board_minor()` which allocates a `struct comedi_device`
and returns with its mutex locked.

Now that the SPDX tag is in all comedi files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the drivers/staging/comedi files files with the correct SPDX
license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The
SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used
instead of the full boiler plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Rename the local function `comedi_buf_write_n_available()` to
`comedi_buf_write_n_unalloc()`. It is the amount of unallocated space
available in the buffer that is available to be allocated for writing
and does not include the space that has already been allocated for
writing. This is unlike the exported function
`comedi_buf_read_n_available()` which includes the space available to be
allocated for reading plus the space already allocated for reading. The
new name breaks the unintentional naming symmetry (and also clears the
way for the old name to be reused for a new function).

This member is cleared by comedi_buf_reset() along with the other comedi_async

Introduce a generic method to write samples to the async buffer.
The number of samples is first checked against the number of samples that
would fill the async buffer. The size of each sample is determined using
the bytes_per_sample() helper. If all the samples will fit in the async
buffer they are written to the buffer using comedi_write_array_to_buffer().
This will allow converting all the comedi drivers to use a common method to
write data to the async buffer.
Since comedi_write_array_to_buffer() sets the COMEDI_CB_BLOCK event after
writing the data, those events can be removed from the drivers.
In addition, comedi_inc_scan_progress() will automatically detect the end of
scan and set the COMEDI_CB_EOS event. Those events can also be removed from
the drivers.

full samples
A number of drivers currently use comedi_buf_get() to read single samples
from the the async buffer. This works but the drivers have to handle the
COMEDI_CB_BLOCK and COMEDI_CB_EOS events. Converting those drivers to use
comedi_buf_read_samples() moves the handling of those events into the core.
Modify comedi_buf_read_samples() so that the async buffer is checked for
the number of full samples available. Use that to clamp the number of
samples that will be read. This makes sure that only full samples are
read from the async buffer making comedi_buf_read_samples() mimic the
action of comedi_buf_get() with the added benifit of handling the events.

(&dev->mutex#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa00313f4>] comedi_mmap+0x57/0x1d9 [comedi]
but task is already holding lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff810c96fe>] vm_mmap_pgoff+0x41/0x76
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

*** DEADLOCK ***
To avoid the circular dependency, just try to get the lock in
`comedi_mmap()` instead of blocking. Since the comedi device's main mutex
is heavily used, do a down-read of its `attach_lock` rwsemaphore
instead. Trying to down-read `attach_lock` should only fail if
some task has down-write locked it, and that is only done while the
comedi device is being attached to or detached from a low-level hardware
device.
Unfortunately, acquiring the `attach_lock` doesn't prevent another
task replacing the comedi data buffer we are trying to mmap. The
details of the buffer are held in a `struct comedi_buf_map` and pointed
to by `s->async->buf_map` where `s` is the comedi subdevice whose buffer
we are trying to map. The `struct comedi_buf_map` is already reference
counted with a `struct kref`, so we can stop it being freed prematurely.
Modify `comedi_mmap()` to call new function
`comedi_buf_map_from_subdev_get()` to read the subdevice's current
buffer map pointer and increment its reference instead of accessing
`async->buf_map` directly. Call `comedi_buf_map_put()` to decrement the
reference once the buffer map structure has been dealt with. (Note that
`comedi_buf_map_put()` does nothing if passed a NULL pointer.)
`comedi_buf_map_from_subdev_get()` checks the subdevice's buffer map
pointer has been set and the buffer map has been initialized enough for
`comedi_mmap()` to deal with it (specifically, check the `n_pages`
member has been set to a non-zero value). If all is well, the buffer
map's reference is incremented and a pointer to it is returned. The
comedi subdevice's spin-lock is used to protect the checks. Also use
the spin-lock in `__comedi_buf_alloc()` and `__comedi_buf_free()` to
protect changes to the subdevice's buffer map structure pointer and the
buffer map structure's `n_pages` member. (This checking of `n_pages` is
a bit clunky and I [Ian Abbott] plan to deal with it in the future.)

If a comedi device is automatically detached by `comedi_auto_unconfig()`
any data buffers associated with subdevices that support asynchronous
commands will be freed. If the buffer is mmapped at the time, bad
things are likely to happen! Prevent this by moving some of the buffer
details from `struct comedi_async` into a new, dynamically allocated,
and kref-counted `struct comedi_buf_map`. This holds a list of pages, a
reference count, and enough information to free the pages. The new
member `buf_map` of `struct comedi_async` points to a `struct
comedi_buf_map` when the buffer size is non-zero.
Provide a new helper function `comedi_buf_is_mapped()` to check whether
an a buffer is mmapped. If it is mmapped, the buffer is not allowed to
be resized and the device is not allowed to be manually detached by the
`COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl. Provide helper functions
`comedi_buf_map_get()` and `comedi_buf_map_put()` to manipulate the
reference count of the `struct comedi_buf_map`, which will be freed
along with its contents via the 'release' callback of the `kref_put()`
call. The reference count is manipulated by the vma operations and the
mmap file operation.
Now, when the comedi device is automatically detached, the buffer will
be effectively freed by calling `comedi_buf_alloc()` with a new buffer
size of 0. That calls local function `__comedi_buf_free()` which calls
`comedi_buf_map_put()` on the `buf_map` member to free it. It won't
actually be freed until the final 'put'.
