[RFC 0/9] Unrestricted media entity ID range support

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

 



Hi all,

This patchset adds an API for managing entity enumerations, i.e. storing a
bit of information per entity. The entity ID is no longer limited to small
integers (e.g. 31 or 63), but MEDIA_ENTITY_MAX_LOW_ID. The drivers are
also converted to use that instead of a fixed number.

If the number of entities in a real use case grows beyond the capabilities
of the approach, the algorithm may be changed. But most importantly, the
API is used to perform the same operation everywhere it's done.

I'm sending this for review only, the code itself is untested.

I haven't entirely made up my mind on the fourth patch. It could be
dropped, as it uses the API for a somewhat different purpose.
