      V4L/DVB (13240): firedtv: fix regression: tuning fails due to bogus error return · dcff9cfe
      Stefan Richter authored
      Since 2.6.32(-rc1), DVB core checks the return value of
      dvb_frontend_ops.set_frontend.  Now it becomes apparent that firedtv
      always returned a bogus value from its set_frontend method.

      V4L/DVB (13237): firedtv: length field corrupt in ca2host if length>127 · c94115ff
      Henrik Kurelid authored
      This solves a problem in firedtv that has become major for Swedish DVB-T
      users the last month or so.  It will most likely solve issues seen by
      other users as well.
      
      If the length of an AVC message is greater than 127, the length field
      should be encoded in LV mode instead of V mode. V mode can only be used
      if the length is 127 or less. This patch ensures that the CA_PMT
      message is always encoded in LV mode so PMT message of greater lengths
      can be supported.

      V4L/DVB (13230): s2255drv: Don't conditionalize video buffer completion on waiting processes · 1f957257
      Mike Isely authored
      The s2255 driver had logic which aborted processing of a video frame
      if there was no process waiting on the video buffer in question.  That
      simply doesn't work when the application is doing things in an
      asynchronous manner.  If the application went to the trouble to queue
      the buffer in the first place, then the driver should always attempt
      to complete it - even if the application at that moment has its
      attention turned elsewhere.  Applications which always blocked waiting
      for I/O on the capture device would not have been affected by this.
      Applications which *mostly* blocked waiting for I/O on the capture
      device probably only would have been somewhat affected (frame lossage,
      at a rate which goes up as the application blocks less).  Applications
      which never blocked on the capture device (e.g. polling only) however
      would never have been able to receive any video frames, since in that
      case this "is anyone waiting on this?" check on the buffer never would
      have evalutated true.  This patch just deletes that harmful check
      against the buffer's wait queue.

      V4L/DVB (13190): em28xx: fix panic that can occur when starting audio streaming · 96fbf771
      Devin Heitmueller authored
      Because the counters were not reset when starting up streaming, they would
      be reused from the previous run.  This can result in cases such that when the
      second instance of streaming starts up, the "cnt" variable in
      em28xx_audio_isocirq() can end up being negative, resulting in attempting to
      write to memory before the start of runtime->dma_area (as well as having a
      negative number of bytes to copy).

      V4L/DVB (13170): bttv: Fix reversed polarity error when switching video standard · 2de26c0a
      Mike Isely authored
      The bttv driver function which handles switching of the video standard
      (set_tvnorm() in bttv-driver.c) includes a check which can optionally
      also reset the cropping configuration to a default value.  It is
      "optional" based on a comparison of the cropcap parameters of the
      previous vs the newly requested video standard.  The comparison is
      being done with a memcmp(), a function which only returns a true value
      if the comparison actually fails.
      
      This if-statement appears to have been written to assume wrong
      memcmp() semantics.  That is, it was re-initializing the cropping
      configuration only if the new video standard did NOT have different
      cropcap values.  That doesn't make any sense.  One definitely should
      reset things if the cropcap parameters are different - if there's any
      comparison to made at all.
      
      The effect of this problem was that a transition from, say, PAL to
      NTSC would leave in place old cropping setup that made sense for the
      PAL geometry but not for NTSC.  If the application doesn't care about
      cropping it also won't try to reset the cropping configuration,
      resulting in an improperly cropped video frame.  In the case I was
      testing this actually caused black video frames to be displayed.
      
      Another interesting effect of this bug is that if one does something
      which does NOT change the video standard and this function is run,
      then the cropping setup gets reset anyway - again because of the
      backwards comparison.  It turns out that just running anything which
      merely opens and closes the video device node (e.g. v4l-info) will
      cause this to happen.  One can argue that simply opening the device
      node and not doing anything to it should not mess with any of its
      state - but because of this behavior, any TV app which does such
      things (e.g. xawtv) probably therefore doesn't see the problem.
      
      The solution is to fix the sense of the if-statement.  It's easy to
      see how this mistake could have been made given how memcmp() works.
      The patch is therefore removal of a single "!" character from the
      if-statement in set_tvnorm in bttv-driver.c.

      V4L/DVB (13169): bttv: Fix potential out-of-order field processing · 66349b4e
      Mike Isely authored
      There is a subtle interaction in the bttv driver which can result in
      fields being repeatedly processed out of order.  This is a problem
      specifically when running in V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE mode (probably the
      most common case).
      
      1. The determination of which fields are associated with which buffers
      happens in videobuf, before the bttv driver gets a chance to queue the
      corresponding DMA.  Thus by the point when the DMA is queued for a
      given buffer, the algorithm has to do the queuing based on the
      buffer's already assigned field type - not based on which field is
      "next" in the video stream.
      
      2. The driver normally tries to queue both the top and bottom fields
      at the same time (see bttv_irq_next_video()).  It tries to sort out
      top vs bottom by looking at the field type for the next 2 available
      buffers and assigning them appropriately.
      
      3. However the bttv driver *always* actually processes the top field
      first.  There's even an interrupt set aside for specifically
      recognizing when the top field has been processed so that it can be
      marked done even while the bottom field is still being DMAed.
      
      Given all of the above, if one gets into a situation where
      bttv_irq_next_video() gets entered when the first available buffer has
      been pre-associated as a bottom field, then the function is going to
      process the buffers out of order.  That first available buffer will be
      put into the bottom field slot and the buffer after that will be put
      into the top field slot.  Problem is, since the top field is always
      processed first by the driver, then that second buffer (the one after
      the first available buffer) will be the first one to be finished.
      Because of the strict fifo handling of all video buffers, then that
      top field won't be seen by the app until after the bottom field is
      also processed.  Worse still, the app will get back the
      chronologically later bottom field first, *before* the top field is
      received.  The buffer's timestamps will even be backwards.
      
      While not fatal to most TV apps, this behavior can subtlely degrade
      userspace deinterlacing (probably will cause jitter).  That's probably
      why it has gone unnoticed.  But it will also cause serious problems if
      the app in question discards all but the latest received buffer (a
      latency minimizing tactic) - causing one field to only ever be
      displayed since the other is now always late.  Unfortunately once you
      get into this state, you're stuck this way - because having consumed
      two buffers, now the next time around the "first" available buffer
      will again be a bottom field and the same thing happens.
      
      How can we get into this state?  In a perfect world, where there's
      always a few free buffers queued to the driver, it should be
      impossible.  However if something disrupts streaming, e.g. if the
      userspace app can't queue free buffers fast enough for a moment due
      perhaps to a CPU scheduling glitch, then the driver can get
      momentarily starved and some number of fields will be dropped.  That's
      OK.  But if an odd number of fields get dropped, then that "first"
      available buffer might be the bottom field and now we're stuck...
      
      This patch fixes that problem by deliberately only setting up a single
      field for one frame if we don't get a top field as the first available
      buffer.  By purposely skipping the other field, then we only handle a
      single buffer thus bringing things back into proper sync (i.e. top
      field first) for the next frame.  To do this we just drop the few
      lines in bttv_irq_next_video() that attempt to set up the second
      buffer when that second buffer isn't for the bottom field.
      
      This is definitely a problem in when in V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE mode.  In
      the other modes this change either has no effect or doesn't harm
      things any further anyway.

      V4L/DVB (13109): tda18271: fix signedness issue in tda18271_rf_tracking_filters_init · a57c1dcb
      Seth Barry authored
      While having tda18271 module set with debug=17 (cal & info prints) and
      cal=0 (delay calibration process until first use) - I discovered that
      during the calibration process, if the frequency test for 69750000
      returned a bcal of 0 (see tda18721-fe.c in tda18271_powerscan func) that
      the tuner wouldn't be able to pickup any of the frequencies in the range
      (all the other frequencies bands returned bcal=1).  I spent some time
      going over the code and the NXP's tda18271 spec (ver.4 of it i think) and
      adding a lot of debug prints and walking/stepping through the calibration
      process.  I found that when the powerscan fails to find a frequency, the
      rf calibration is not run and the default value is supposed to be used in
      its place (pulled from the RF_CAL_map table) - but something was getting
      goofed up there.
      
      Now, my c coding skills are very rusty, but i think root of the problem is
      a signedness issue with the math operation for calculating the rf_a1 and
      rf_a2 values in tda18271_rf_tracking_filters_init func, which results in
      values like 20648 for rf_a1 (when it should probably have a value like 0,
      or so slightly negative that it should be zero - this bad value for rf_a1
      would in turn makes the approx calc within
      tda18271c2_rf_tracking_filters_correction go out of whack).  The simplest
      solution i found was to explicitly convert the signedness of the
      denominator to avoid the implicit conversion.  The values placed into the
      u32 rf_freq array should never exceed about 900mhz, so i think the s32 max
      value shouldn't be an issue in this case.
      
      I've tested it out a little, and even when i get a bcal=0 with the
      modified code, the default calibration value gets used, rf_a1 is zero, and
      the tuner seems to lock on the stream and mythtv seems to play it fine.
