NAME

6       spi_sync - blocking/synchronous SPI data transfers
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int spi_sync(struct spi_device * spi, struct spi_message * message);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       spi
13           device with which data will be exchanged
14
15       message
16           describes the data transfers
17

CONTEXT

19       can sleep
20

DESCRIPTION

22       This call may only be used from a context that may sleep. The sleep is
23       non-interruptible, and has no timeout. Low-overhead controller drivers
24       may DMA directly into and out of the message buffers.
25
26       Note that the SPI device's chip select is active during the message,
27       and then is normally disabled between messages. Drivers for some
28       frequently-used devices may want to minimize costs of selecting a chip,
29       by leaving it selected in anticipation that the next message will go to
30       the same chip. (That may increase power usage.)
31
32       Also, the caller is guaranteeing that the memory associated with the
33       message will not be freed before this call returns.
34
35       It returns zero on success, else a negative error code.
