[media] media: dmxdev: remove dvb_ringbuffer_flush() on writer side

2013-06-19T14:48:09+00:00

In dvb_ringbuffer lock-less synchronizationof reader and writer threads is done
with separateread and write pointers. Sincedvb_ringbuffer_flush() modifies the
read pointer, this function must not be called from the writer thread.
This patch removes the dvb_ringbuffer_flush() calls in the dmxdev ringbuffer
write functions, this fixes Oopses "Unable to handle kernel paging request"
I could observe for the call chaindvb_demux_read ->dvb_dmxdev_buffer_read ->
dvb_ringbuffer_read_user -> __copy_to_user (the reader side of the ringbuffer).
The flush calls at the write side are not necessary anyway since ringbuffer_flush
is also called in dvb_dmxdev_buffer_read() when an error condition is set in the
ringbuffer.
This patch should also be applied to stable kernels.

[media] tuner-core/simple: get_rf_strength can be tuner mode specific

2013-04-14T22:44:50+00:00

The get_rf_strength op in tuner-simple is valid only for the radio mode.
But due to the way get_signal in analog_demod_ops was designed it would
overwrite the signal value with a bogus value when in TV mode.
Pass a pointer to the signal value instead, and when not in radio mode
leave it alone in the tuner-simple.
This broke in commit 030755bde42bbed133182b0ece7c7a9c759478e8
(tuner-core: call has_signal for both TV and radio) in kernel 3.6. Before
that this was working correctly. That commit did the right thing, but what
wasn't realized at the time was that tuner-simple should have been updated
as well to restrict setting the signal strength to the radio mode only.

The get_afc op in tda9887 is valid only for the radio mode.

overwrite the afc value with a bogus value when in TV mode.
Pass a pointer to the afc value instead, and when not in radio mode

This broke a long time ago in 2.6.19 when the get_afc op was introduced.
Before that the afc was only set for radio mode in the tda9887.
