[media] dabusb: Move it to staging to be deprecated

2010-12-29T10:17:15+00:00

dabusb driver were conceived as an experimental driver for a test device. The driver never supported any shipped product, and, while there were some updates on it in 2003, for an ancient product, those changes were never submitted upstream. Also, there's no DocBook for its API, nor any upstream discussion. So, better to remove it, on .39. If later needed, we may rescue it from git logs. For now, let's move it to staging.

dabusb: remove the BKL

2010-10-19T09:30:00+00:00

The dabusb device driver is sufficiently serialized using its own mutex, no need for the big kernel lock here in addition. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB: drivers/media: Use memdup_user

2010-08-02T18:20:28+00:00

Use memdup_user when user data is immediately copied into the allocated region. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression from,to,size,flag; position p; identifier l1,l2; @@ - to = \(kmalloc@p\|kzalloc@p\)(size,flag); + to = memdup_user(from,size); if ( - to==NULL + IS_ERR(to) || ...) { <+... when != goto l1; - -ENOMEM + PTR_ERR(to) ...+> } - if (copy_from_user(to, from, size) != 0) { - <+... when != goto l2; - -EFAULT - ...+> - } // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Driver-Core: fix devnode callbacks for dabusb and industrialio

2009-09-21T14:36:33+00:00

The build of the dabusb driver broke: drivers/media/video/dabusb.c:758: error: unknown field 'nodename' specified in initializer drivers/media/video/dabusb.c:758: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type make[3]: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. Due to this commit: e454cea: Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions Missing the dabusb driver's dabusb_nodename() callback. Similar issues with the iio/industrialio driver in staging, pointed out and patched by Jean Delvare. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Industrialio-parts-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

headers: smp_lock.h redux

2009-07-12T19:22:34+00:00

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!) * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW) Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Driver Core: usb: add nodename support for usb drivers.
