      [media] em28xx: pre-allocate DVB isoc transfer buffers · 86d38d1e
      Gianluca Gennari 提交于
      On MIPS/ARM set-top-boxes, as well as old x86 PCs, memory allocation failures
      in the em28xx driver are common, due to memory fragmentation over time, that
      makes impossible to allocate large chunks of coherent memory.
      A typical system with 256/512 MB of RAM fails after just 1 day of uptime (see
      the old thread for detailed reports and crashlogs).
      
      In fact, the em28xx driver allocates memory for USB isoc transfers at runtime,
      as opposite to the dvb-usb drivers that allocates the USB buffers when the
      device is initialized, and frees them when the device is disconnected.
      
      Moreover, in digital mode the USB isoc transfer buffers are freed, allocated
      and cleared every time the user selects a new channel, wasting time and
      resources.
      
      This patch solves both problems by allocating DVB isoc transfer buffers in
      em28xx_usb_probe(), and freeing them in em28xx_usb_disconnect().
      In fact, the buffers size and number depend only on the max USB packet size
      that is parsed from the USB descriptors in em28xx_usb_probe(), so it can
      never change for a given device.
      
      This approach makes no sense in analog mode (as the buffer size depends on
      the alternate mode selected at runtime), the patch creates two separate sets
      of buffers for digital and analog modes.
      
      For digital-only devices, USB buffers are created when the device is probed
      and freed when the device is disconnected.
      For analog-only devices, nothing changes: isoc buffers are created at runtime.
      For hybrid devices, two sets of buffers are maintained: the digital-mode
      buffers are created when the device is probed, and freed when the device is
      disconnected; analog-mode buffers are created/destroyed at runtime as before.
      So, in analog mode, digital and analog buffers coexists at the same time: this
      can be justified by the fact that digital mode is by far more commonly used
      nowadays, so it makes sense to optimize the driver for this use case scenario.
      
      The patch has been tested in the last few days on a x86 PC and a MIPS
      set-top-box, with the PCTV 290e (digital only) and the Terratec Hybrid XS
      (hybrid device). With the latter, I switched several times between analog and
      digital mode (Kaffeine/TvTime) with no issue at all.
      I unplugged/plugged the devices several times with no problem.
      Also, after over 3 days of normal usage in the MPIS set-top-box, the PCTV 290e
      was still up and running.

      [media] em28xx: fix race on disconnect · d7222e7d
      Chris Rankin 提交于
      This patch closes the race on the device and extension lists at USB disconnect
      time. Previously, the device was removed from the device list during
      em28xx_release_resources(), and then passed to the em28xx_close_extension()
      function so that all extensions could run their fini() operations. However, this
      left a (brief, theoretical, highly unlikely ;-)) window between these two calls
      during which a new module could call em28xx_register_extension(). The result
      would have been that the em28xx_usb_disconnect() function would also have passed
      the device to the new extension's fini() function, despite never having called
      the extension's init() function.
      
      This patch also restores em28xx_close_extension()'s symmetry with
      em28xx_init_extension(), and establishes the property that every device in the
      device list must have been initialised for every extension in the extension list.

      [media] em28xx: Fix DVB-C maxsize for em2884 · f7acc4bb
      Mauro Carvalho Chehab 提交于
      The logic at em28xx_isoc_dvb_max_packetsize() sucks, at least for newer
      the needed packet size. Yet, it is better than nothing.
      
      Rewrite the code in order to change the default to 752 for em2884 and
      newer chips and provide a better way to handle per-chipset specifics.
      
      For em2874, the current default should be enough, as the only em2874
      board is currently a 1-seg ISDB-T board, so, it needs only a limited
      amount of bandwidth.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
