Hi
The STREAMOFF issue has not appeared after having tested with kernel
version 2.6.38-rc2 for a while. I am happy :-)

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?
Because now the video4linux core does the locking.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is the bug that was fixed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxtv-commits@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg09413.html
This fix will be in 2.6.38.
The change in the locking mechanism had nothing to do this particular bug.
It was just incorrect administration of resources.
Regards,
Hans
Thanks for the explanation. I see now how the V4L core locks around the
ioctls. The member unlocked_ioctl of struct v4l2_file_operations confused
me a little. Maybe serialized_ioctl would be a better name? Not a big issue
though.
Hopefully the patch fixes your problem Rune.
Thanks
