* V4L/DVB (6268): V4L: Fix a lock inversion in generic videobuf codeMaxim Levitsky2007-10-101-5/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | videobuf_qbuf takes q->lock, and then calls q->ops->buf_prepare which by design in all drivers calls videobuf_iolock which calls videobuf_dma_init_user and this takes current->mm->mmap_sem on the other hand if user calls mumap from other thread, sys_munmap takes current->mm->mmap_sem and videobuf_vm_close takes q->lock Since this can occur only for V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP buffers, take current->mm->mmap_sem in qbuf, before q->lock, and don't take current->mm->mmap_sem videobuf_dma_init_user for those buffers Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.video4linux/34978/focus=34981 Reviewed-by: Ricardo Cerqueira <v4l@cerqueira.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>

* V4L/DVB (6251): Replace video-buf to a more generic approachMauro Carvalho Chehab2007-10-091-0/+772
video-buf currently does two different tasks: - Manages video buffers with a common code that allows implementing all the V4L2 different modes of buffering; - Controls memory allocations While the first task is generic, the second were written to support PCI DMA Scatter/Gather needs. The original approach can't even work for those video capture hardware that don't support scatter/gather. I did one approach to make it more generic. While the approach worked fine for vivi driver, it were not generic enough to handle USB needs. This patch creates two different modules, one containing the generic video buffer handling (videobuf-core) and another with PCI DMA S/G. After this patch, it would be simpler to write an USB video-buf and a non-SG DMA module.
