In the umt-010 driver the struct umt_properties sets the number of URBs for
transfer to 20. But in dvb-usb.h MAX_NO_URBS_FOR_DATA_STREAM is set to 10.
Not surprisingly this causes an oops for all devices which use the umt-010
chipset when they are inserted.

Initialize stream count using MAX_NO_URBS_FOR_DATA_STREAM.

Devices can either be class devices or bus devices, not both at the
same time. Soc-camera host devices usually have a platform device as
their parent. Trying to also register them with a class crashes the
kernel, when linked statically. Interestingly, it works when built
as a module. Thanks to Paulius Zaleckas for reporting.

When an error occurs at firmware loading, sometimes, tda1004x stops answering.
Instead of reporting such error, attach code were assuming that the device were
answering an invalid ID (0xff). This can be seen when enabling debug options:
tda1004x: tda1004x_read_byte: reg=0x0
tda1004x: tda1004x_read_byte: error reg=0x0, ret=-5
Now, instead of reporting an invalid ID, it will report the correct error:
tda10046: chip is not answering. Giving up.
saa7133[0]/dvb: failed to attach tda10046
saa7133[0]/dvb: frontend initialization failed
A possible improvement would be trying to reset the device.

A fresh copy of v.29 firmware, using get_firmware, is leading to an invalid
firmware:
DVB: registering new adapter (saa7133[0])
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)...
tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock
tda1004x: found firmware revision ff -- invalid
tda1004x: trying to boot from eeprom
tda1004x: found firmware revision ff -- invalid
tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...
tda1004x: Error during firmware upload
tda1004x: found firmware revision ff -- invalid
tda1004x: firmware upload failed
Sometimes, loading/unloading this firmware makes tda1004x to return an invalid
ID. However, there were no printk messages to help to identify what were the
cause for the error.
With this patch, it will now print:
Invalid tda1004x ID = 0xff. Can't proceed

On some alsa versions, it seems that snd_pcm_substream_chip(substream)

Current memfree FW has a bug which in some cases, assumes that ICM
pages passed to it are cleared. This patch uses __GFP_ZERO to
allocate all ICM pages passed to the FW. Once firmware with a fix is

The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken,
and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though
it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its
own prologue and epilogue on top of it all.
This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler
version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened
to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't
matter, since it would never be reached).
But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this. Move the
inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the
better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually
use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a
bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

The driver expected a *virtual* address in the IDE platform device's memory
resource and didn't request the memory region for the register block. Fix this
taking into account the fact that DaVinci SoC devices are fixed-mapped to the

macro, not having to call ioremap()...

I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with
lguest.
My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific
issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got
exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches.
In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the
presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the
lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set.
This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit.
(look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result
in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will
end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats
getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context
of lguest launcher/helper process).
This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent
2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or
sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as
we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly
created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes
running inside of lguest.
With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins
now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed.
Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.
