NAME

spi_write_then_read - SPI synchronous write followed by read

SYNOPSIS

int spi_write_then_read(struct spi_device * spi, const u8 * txbuf, unsigned n_tx, u8 * rxbuf, unsigned n_rx);

ARGUMENTS

spi

device with which data will be exchanged

txbuf

data to be written (need not be dma-safe)

n_tx

size of txbuf, in bytes

rxbuf

buffer into which data will be read (need not be dma-safe)

n_rx

size of rxbuf, in bytes

CONTEXT

can sleep

DESCRIPTION

This performs a half duplex MicroWire style transaction with the device, sending txbuf and then reading rxbuf. The return value is zero for success, else a negative errno status code. This call may only be used from a context that may sleep.

Parameters to this routine are always copied using a small buffer; portable code should never use this for more than 32 bytes. Performance-sensitive or bulk transfer code should instead use spi_{async,sync}() calls with dma-safe buffers.
