SPI_SYNC(9) Serial Peripheral Interface (S SPI_SYNC(9)NAME
spi_sync - blocking/synchronous SPI data transfers
SYNOPSIS
int spi_sync(struct spi_device * spi, struct spi_message * message);
ARGUMENTS
spi
device with which data will be exchanged
message
describes the data transfers
CONTEXT
can sleep
DESCRIPTION
This call may only be used from a context that may sleep. The sleep is non-interruptible, and has no timeout. Low-overhead controller
drivers may DMA directly into and out of the message buffers.
Note that the SPI device's chip select is active during the message, and then is normally disabled between messages. Drivers for some
frequently-used devices may want to minimize costs of selecting a chip, by leaving it selected in anticipation that the next message will
go to the same chip. (That may increase power usage.)
Also, the caller is guaranteeing that the memory associated with the message will not be freed before this call returns.
It returns zero on success, else a negative error code.

SPI_ASYNC_LOCKED(9) Serial Peripheral Interface (S SPI_ASYNC_LOCKED(9)NAME
spi_async_locked - version of spi_async with exclusive bus usage
SYNOPSIS
int spi_async_locked(struct spi_device * spi, struct spi_message * message);
ARGUMENTS
spi
device with which data will be exchanged
message
describes the data transfers, including completion callback
CONTEXT
any (irqs may be blocked, etc)
DESCRIPTION
This call may be used in_irq and other contexts which can't sleep, as well as from task contexts which can sleep.
The completion callback is invoked in a context which can't sleep. Before that invocation, the value of message->status is undefined. When
the callback is issued, message->status holds either zero (to indicate complete success) or a negative error code. After that callback
returns, the driver which issued the transfer request may deallocate the associated memory; it's no longer in use by any SPI core or
controller driver code.
Note that although all messages to a spi_device are handled in FIFO order, messages may go to different devices in other orders. Some
device might be higher priority, or have various "hard" access time requirements, for example.
On detection of any fault during the transfer, processing of the entire message is aborted, and the device is deselected. Until returning
from the associated message completion callback, no other spi_message queued to that device will be processed. (This rule applies equally
to all the synchronous transfer calls, which are wrappers around this core asynchronous primitive.)

Hi all,
I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.
