Hello Rune

I'm trying to learn more about the linux kernel so I figured helping with bugs is a good way to get started.

Hi

The crash is not as consistent as I first believed. I have managed to stop and start capturing several (but not many) times without the driver crashing now.

To me it seems that the resource locking (functions res_get, res_check, res_locked and res_free) is subject to race condition.

I looked at older versions of the code and found that there used to be locks around some of these pieces. It was removed in commit:

0499a5aa777f8e56e46df362f0bb9d9d116186f9 - V4L/DVB: em28xx: remove BKL

Other V4L drivers use pretty much the same code (res_get, res_free, etc.) for resource locking but still have the mutex_lock/unlock around it. Does anyone know why this was removed?

Thanks
Patrik Jakobsson
The trace logs also differ slightly. Here is the last one:
