Hi Antti
You can't have dvb_usb_device_properties as constant structure pointer.
At run time it needs to be copied to a private area.
Having constant structure for properties was one of main idea of whole
change. Earlier it causes some problems when driver changes those values
- for example remote configuration based info from the eeprom.
Two or more devices of the same type on the system will be pointing to
the same structure.
Yes and no. You can define struct dvb_usb_device_properties for each
USB ID.
Any changes they make to the structure will be common to all.
For those devices having same USB ID only.
Changing dvb_usb_device_properties is *not* allowed. It is constant and
should be. That was how I designed it. Due to that I introduced those
new callbacks to resolve needed values dynamically.
Yes, but it does make run-time tweaks difficult.
If there is still something that is needed to resolve at runtime I am
happy to add new callback. For example PID filter configuration is
static currently as per adapter and if it is needed to to reconfigure at
runtime new callback is needed.
I will look at the PID filter later, it defaulted to off.
However, in my builds for ARM devices it is defaulted on. I will be
testing this later. I can't see any problems.
Could you say what is your problem I can likely say how to resolve it.
Well, the problem is, I now need two separate structures for LME2510 and
LME2510C as in the existing driver, the hope was to merge them as one.
The only difference being the stream endpoint number.
Then you should use .get_usb_stream_config() instead of static stream
configuration. That is now supported.
I have found one logical error in my current implementation.
get_usb_stream_config gets frontend as a parameter, but it is called
frontend == NULL when attaching adapters and after that frontend is real
value when called (just before streaming is started). Now what happens
if we has multiple adapters? We cannot know which adapter is requested
during attach since FE is NULL :)
But that is problem case only if you have multiple adapters. I will find
out better solution next few days. It is ugly now.
You can just skip fe checking or something. See AF9015 for example.
Currently, it is implemented in identify_state on dvb_usb_v2.
The get_usb_stream_config has no access to device to to allow a run-time
change there.
Hmmm, what you try to say? As FE is given as a pointer, you have also
adapter and device. Those are nested, device is root, then adapter is
under that and finally frontend are under the adapter.

Ugly part between comments is what I am going to change, but currently
it works as is.
This doesn't work because the code will return the stream->endpoint
unset and then try to initialise usb_urb_init.
So what? It happens only once when device is initialized. We do not need
to know endpoint at that phase as we do not stream yet.
Please read your code you submit the urbs.
int dvb_usb_adapter_stream_init(struct dvb_usb_adapter *adap)
{
int ret;
struct usb_data_stream_properties stream_props;
adap->stream.udev = adap->dev->udev;
adap->stream.user_priv = adap;
/* resolve USB stream configuration for buffer alloc */
if (adap->dev->props->get_usb_stream_config) {
ret = adap->dev->props->get_usb_stream_config(NULL,
&stream_props);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
} else {
stream_props = adap->props->stream;
}
/* FIXME: can be removed as set later in anyway */
adap->stream.complete = dvb_usb_data_complete;
return usb_urb_init(&adap->stream, &stream_props); <<<<----here
}
It is initializing stream here - not submitting URBs. Basically we
allocate streaming buffers for later use.
URBs are submitted when streaming is started.
It would be far better to have get_usb_stream_config point to adapter
and point to adap->fe[adap->active_fe] inside if need be.
Why?
Again read your code. why do we need frontend ? ... we want adapter.
Always pointing to same adapter regardless of frontend number.
We need to know frontend too! We *must* configure adapter stream
according to frontend used. There is devices having multiple frontends
which needs different streaming parameters.
Just to be short: we need frontend in order to configure adapter stream
as there is multiple frontend in same adapter.
Maybe your device has only one frontend per adapter but I have devices
having 1, 2 and 3 frontends.
static int af9015_get_usb_stream_config(struct dvb_frontend *fe,
struct usb_data_stream_properties *stream)
{
struct dvb_usb_adapter *adap;
deb_info("%s: fe=%p\n", __func__, fe);
stream->type = USB_BULK;
stream->count = 8;
stream->endpoint = 0x84;
stream->u.bulk.buffersize = TS_USB20_FRAME_SIZE;
if (fe == NULL)
return 0;
adap = fe->dvb->priv; <<< always same adapter
Even when you have two adapters? If so there is a bug somewhere.
if (adap->id == 1)
stream->endpoint = 0x85;
if (adap->dev->udev->speed == USB_SPEED_FULL)
stream->u.bulk.buffersize = TS_USB11_FRAME_SIZE;
return 0;
}
As we are going to configure stream based _frontend_ current needs we
just need to know frontend and nothing more or less. If you pass adapter
as a parameter then you don't know what is frontend in question as
adapter coould have multiple frontends.
active_fe member variable is meant to be internal use of DVB USB
framework. You should not use it from the driver. You can see active
frontend id just looking current frontend id (fe->id).
This is also the case with af9015, the code is extracting adapter
through another module.
I don't understand what you mean.
Also I would like to ask if you test code I given at all?
Yes, system crash. Endpoint not set.
Then there is a bug. I suspect it could be that synchronise issue
between USB stream feed and frontend control. Locking is needed and it
is on my TODO. There is old patch which adds validly checking to avoid that:
commit: 2d04c13a507f5a01daa7422cd52250809573cfdb
Test to return from dvb_usb_ctrl_feed() if active_fe == -1.
You seems not to understand that callback - get_usb_stream_config() - is
there for configuring stream dynamically.
With get_usb_stream_config as;
int (*get_usb_stream_config) (struct dvb_usb_adapter *,
struct usb_data_stream_properties *);
If we really need the frontend we do this.
static int driverxxx_get_usb_stream_config(struct dvb_usb_adapter *adap,
struct usb_data_stream_properties *stream)
{
struct dvb_frontend *fe = adap->fe[adap->active_fe];
I don't understand why you want to pass adapter and abuse
adap->active_fe variable which is meant to internal use of DVB USB.
Here is skeleton example what I try to say for you:
That is what you want to do:
****************************
CALLBACK(struct dvb_usb_adapter *adap)
{
struct dvb_frontend *fe = adap->fe[adap->active_fe];
// now we have pointer to adap and fe
}
That is what I want to do:
**************************
CALLBACK(struct dvb_frontend *fe)
{
struct dvb_usb_adapter *adap = fe->dvb->priv;
// now we have pointer to adap and fe
}
