[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] Media entity links handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

This small patch set adds a function for removing all links at a media
entity. I found out such a function is needed when media entites that
belong to a single media device have drivers in different kernel modules.
This means virtually all camera drivers, since sensors are separate
modules from the host interface drivers.

More details can be found at each patch's description.

The links removal from a media entity is rather strightforward, but when
and where links should be created/removed is not immediately clear to me.

I assumed that links should normally be created/removed when an entity
is registered to its media device, with the graph mutex held.

I'm open to opinions whether it's good or not and possibly suggestions
on how those issues could be handled differently.

The changes since original version are listed in patch 1/2, in patch 2/2
only the commit description has changed slightly.

Thanks,
Sylwester
