2009-04-06V4L/DVB (11390): 2-dev.c: return 0 for NULL open and release callbacksHans Verkuil
Patch allows v4l2_open and v4l2_release functions return 0 if open and release driver callbacks set to NULL. This will be used in radio drivers. -- Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Alexey Klimov <klimov.linux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2009-03-30V4L/DVB (11242): allow v4l2 drivers to provide a get_unmapped_area handlerDaniel Glöckner
Shared memory mappings on nommu machines require a get_unmapped_area file operation that suggests an address for the mapping. This patch adds a way for v4l2 drivers to provide this callback. Signed-off-by: Daniel Glöckner <dg@emlix.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2009-03-30V4L/DVB (10988): v4l2-dev: use parent field if the v4l2_device has no parent ↵Hans Verkuil
set. Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device node's parent. But if it was not set, then use the parent field in the video_device struct. This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video). So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device, but you can do that for each video_device.

2009-03-30V4L/DVB (10947): Auto-load videodev module when device opened.Scott James Remnant
The videodev module is missing the char-major-81-* alias that would cause it to be auto-loaded when a device of that type is opened. This patch adds the alias.

2009-03-30V4L/DVB (10791): videodev: not possible to register NULL video_deviceTrent Piepho
video_register_device_index() checks if it was passed a NULL video_device pointer (which isn't allowed) _after_ it has already dereferenced it with video_get_drvdata(vdev). The checks are clearly pointless and can be removed, as the function would have crashed before reaching them if vdev ever was NULL.

2009-03-30V4L/DVB (10641): v4l2-dev: remove limit of 32 devices per driver in get_index()Hans Verkuil
get_index() had a limitation of 32 devices per driver. This was unnecessarily strict and has been replaced with the maximum number of devices. That should really satisfy anyone! Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2009-01-02V4L/DVB (10139): v4l: rename v4l_compat_ioctl32 to v4l2_compat_ioctl32Hans Verkuil
This rename prevents conflicts with the older compat_ioctl32 module. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2009-01-02V4L/DVB (10135): v4l2: introduce v4l2_file_operations.Hans Verkuil
Introduce a struct v4l2_file_operations for v4l2 drivers. Remove the unnecessary inode argument. Move compat32 handling (and llseek) into the v4l2-dev core: this is now handled in the v4l2 core and no longer in the drivers themselves. Note that this changeset reverts an earlier patch that changed the return type of__video_ioctl2 from int to long. This change will be reinstated later in a much improved version.

2008-12-30V4L/DVB (9974): v4l2-dev: allow drivers to pass v4l2_device as parentHans Verkuil
Drivers that use v4l2_device can set that as parent pointer in the v4l2_dev field instead of using the struct device parent field. This allows v4l2-dev.c to check whether this driver is v4l2_device based, and if so then it can offer additional services.

2008-12-30V4L/DVB (9973): v4l2-dev: use the release callback from device instead of cdevHans Verkuil
Instead of relying on the cdev release callback we should rely on the release callback from the device struct. This requires that we use get_device/put_device to do proper refcounting. In order to do this safely v4l2-dev.c now sets up its own file_operations that call out to the driver's ops.

2008-12-30V4L/DVB (9942): v4l2-dev: check for parent device in get_index.Hans Verkuil
get_index requires a valid parent device in order to discover which indices are in use. Some drivers (e.g. pvrusb2) do not set the parent device. In that case just return 0. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2008-12-29V4L/DVB (9521): V4L: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), ↵Kay Sievers
dev_set_name() This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device". To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev) must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the name the registered device should have. At registration time, the init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to access the device name at a later time. We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch, and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id. We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from "struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array and does no longer have a size limitation.

2008-10-12V4L/DVB (9133): v4l: disconnect kernel number from minorHans Verkuil
The v4l core creates four different video devices (video, vbi, radio, vtx) and each has its own range of minor numbers. However, modern devices keep increasing the number of devices that they need so a maximum of 64 video devices will not be enough in the future. In addition this scheme makes it very hard to add new device types. This patch disconnects the kernel number allocation (e.g. video0, video1, etc.) from the actual minor number (just pick the first free minor). This allows for much more flexibility in the future. However, it does require the use of udev. For those who cannot use udev a new CONFIG option was created that changes the allocation scheme back to the old behavior. Thanks to Greg KH for suggesting this approach during the 2008 LPC. In addition, several bugs were fixed in the ivtv and cx18 drivers: these drivers try to allocate specific kernel numbers but that scheme contained a bug which caused what should have been e.g. video17 to appear as e.g. video2.

2008-10-12V4L/DVB (8852): v4l2: use register_chrdev_region instead of register_chrdevHans Verkuil
Replace the old register_chrdev with the more flexible register_chrdev_region. Ensure that the release() is called when the very last chardev usage was released, and not when the sysfs devices were removed. This should simplify hotpluggable drivers considerably.

2008-10-12V4L/DVB (8791): v4l2-dev: do not clear the driver_data fieldHans Verkuil
The driver_data field of the device structure was zeroed, thus losing this information. Many drivers set this up before calling video_device_register, so we have to ensure that it isn't lost. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

The BKL is now moved from the video_open function in v4l2-dev.c to the various drivers. It seems about a third of the drivers already has a lock of some sort protecting the open(), another third uses video_exclusive_open (yuck!) and the last third required adding the BKL in their open function.

2008-07-23V4L/DVB (8427): videodev: split off the ioctl handling into v4l2-ioctl.cHans Verkuil
videodev.c became top-heavy so all the ioctl processing has been split off into v4l2-ioctl.c. This means videodev.c is back to its original purpose: creating and registering v4l devices. Since videodev.c and v4l2-ioctl.c should still remain one module (as least for now) I also had to rename videodev.c to v4l2-dev.c to prevent a circular dependency when building a videodev.ko module. This is not a bad thing, since the source and header now have the same name. And the v4l2- prefix is useful to see which sources are generic v4l2 support code.
