[added to the 4.1 stable tree] [media] vb2: fix a regression in poll() behavior for output,streams

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

 



This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 4623e5967448444a4ea1e77beb58898c4af48693 ]

In the 3.17 kernel the poll() behavior changed for output streams:
as long as not all buffers were queued up poll() would return that
userspace can write. This is fine for the write() call, but when
using stream I/O this changed the behavior since the expectation
was that it would wait for buffers to become available for dequeuing.

This patch only enables the check whether you can queue buffers
for file I/O only, and skips it for stream I/O.
