Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device. This API solves a very common use-case for media devices where one physical device (an USB stick) provides both audio and video. When such media device exposes a standard USB Audio class, a proprietary Video class, two or more independent drivers will share a single physical USB bridge. In such cases, it is necessary to coordinate access to the shared resource. Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all the references are released. - This patch series in tested on 5.1-rc2 and addresses the compile errors, warns, and sparse errors reported by Hans Verkuil and Dan Carpenter. Changes since v11: - Patch 1: Add CONFIG_MODULES dependency in media_dev_allocator files. to fix compile errors when CONFIG_MODULES is disabled. - Patch 2, 3: No changes. - Patch 4: Fix sparse error reported by Dan Carpenter. - Patch 5: Fix warns found by Hans Verkuil. - v11 was tested on 5.0-rc7 and addresses comments on v10 series from Hans Verkuil. Fixed problems found in resource sharing logic in au0828 adding a patch 5 to this series. The test plan used for testing resource sharing could serve as a regression test plan and the test results can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XMs3HYgLiHby6xVIvIxv75KSXAAN3F4uUpw2uLuD9c4/edit?usp=sharing - v10 was tested on 5.0-rc3 and addresses comments on v9 series from Hans Verkuil. Changes since v10: - Patch 1: Fixed SPDX tag and removed redundant IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USB) around media_device_usb_allocate() - Sakari Ailus's review comment. - Patch 2 and 3: No changes - Patch 4: Fixed SPDX tag - Sakari Ailus's review comment. - Carried Reviewed-by tag from Takashi Iwai for the sound from v9. - Patch 5: This is a new patch added to fix resource sharing inconsistencies and problem found during testing using Han's tests. Changes since v9: - Patch 1: Fix mutex assert warning from find_module() calls. This code was written before the change to find_module() that requires callers to hold module_mutex. I missed this during my testing on 4.20-rc6. Hans Verkuil reported the problem. - Patch 4: sound/usb: Initializes all the entities it can before registering the device based on comments from Hans Verkuil - Carried Reviewed-by tag from Takashi Iwai for the sound from v9. - No changes to Patches 2 and 3. - v9 was tested on 4.20-rc6. - Tested sharing resources with kaffeine, vlc, xawtv, tvtime, and arecord. When analog is streaming, digital and audio user-space applications detect that the tuner is busy and exit. When digital is streaming, analog and audio applications detect that the tuner is busy and exit. When arecord is owns the tuner, digital and analog detect that the tuner is busy and exit. - Tested media device allocator API with bind/unbind testing on snd-usb-audio and au0828 drivers to make sure /dev/mediaX is released only when the last driver is unbound. - Addressed review comments from Hans on the RFC v8 (rebased on 4.19) - Updated change log to describe the use-case more clearly. - No changes to 0001,0002 code since the v7 referenced below. - 0003 is a new patch to enable ALSA defines that have been disabled for kernel between 4.9 and 4.19. - Minor merge conflict resolution in 0004. - Added SPDX to new files.
