This changes rc_core to not load the IR decoders at load time, postponing it to load only if a RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW device is registered via rc_register_device. We use a static boolean variable, to ensure decoders modules are only loaded once. Tested with rc-loopback device only. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@xxxxxxxxx> --- v3: Fix scope of static bool: now it is local to relevant function. v2: Fix broken logic in v1. Also, put raw_init as static instead of inside rc_dev struct to ensure loading is only tried the first time. --- drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c b/drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c index f6a930b..6e16b09 100644 --- a/drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c +++ b/drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c @@ -1029,6 +1029,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rc_free_device); int rc_register_device(struct rc_dev *dev) { + static bool raw_init = false; /* raw decoders loaded? */ static atomic_t devno = ATOMIC_INIT(0); struct rc_map *rc_map; const char *path; @@ -1103,6 +1104,12 @@ int rc_register_device(struct rc_dev *dev) kfree(path); if (dev->driver_type == RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW) { + /* Load raw decoders, if they aren't already */ + if (!raw_init) { + IR_dprintk(1, "Loading raw decoders\n"); + ir_raw_init(); + raw_init = true; + } rc = ir_raw_event_register(dev); if (rc < 0) goto out_input; @@ -1176,8 +1183,6 @@ static int __init rc_core_init(void) return rc; } - /* Initialize/load the decoders/keymap code that will be used */ - ir_raw_init(); rc_map_register(&empty_map); return 0; -- 1.7.3.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
