I tested with MigoR + ov772x + following way. 1) apply patch to kernel > diff -u a/drivers/media/video/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c b/drivers/media/video/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c > --- a/drivers/media/video/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c > +++ b/drivers/media/video/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c > @@ -326,6 +326,7 @@ > spin_lock_irqsave(&pcdev->lock, flags); > > vb = pcdev->active; > + WARN_ON(vb->state == VIDEOBUF_NEEDS_INIT); > list_del_init(&vb->queue); > > if (!list_empty(&pcdev->capture)) 2) apply patch to capture-example I think your wanting to say is this... diff -u capture_example.c capture_example.c.test --- capture_example.c 2009-01-24 09:35:12.000000000 +0900 +++ capture_example.c.test 2009-02-19 18:09:32.000000000 +0900 @@ -590,6 +590,8 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) { + int i; + dev_name = "/dev/video0"; for (;;) { @@ -648,11 +650,14 @@ } open_device(); - init_device(); - start_capturing(); - mainloop(); - stop_capturing(); - uninit_device(); + for (i=0 ; i<100 ; i++) { + printf("%d ", i); + init_device(); + start_capturing(); + mainloop(); + stop_capturing(); + uninit_device(); + } close_device(); fprintf(stderr, "\n"); return 0; 3) test this capture_example.
