From 759100531d76f36714dde0f05a09245e9e921e4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Isely Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2006 22:30:50 -0300 Subject: V4L/DVB (4663): Pvrusb2: Get rid of private global context array brain damage A previous attempt to deal with the upcoming loss of video_set_drvdata() and video_get_drvdata() resulted in logic which causes a circular locking dependency - also known as a deadlock. This changeset attacks the problem in a different manner, using a technique that no longer requires the problematic mutex (or that private global array either).

And if another thread tries to open the - device in the window of time after registration but before the - map is updated, then it will get back an erroneous null pointer - and the open will result in a spurious failure. The only way to - prevent that is to (a) be inside the mutex here before we access - the array, and (b) cover the entire registration process later - on with this same mutex. Thus if we get inside the mutex here, - then we can be assured that the registration process actually - completed correctly. This is an unhappy complication from the - use of global data in a driver that lives in a preemptible - environment. It sure would be nice if the video device itself - had a means for storing and retrieving a local context pointer. - Oh wait. It did. But now it's gone.
