b1a873a37b [media] v4l2: use new flag to enable core priority handling
Rather than guess which driver supports core priority handling, require drivers
that do to explicitly set the V4L2_FL_USE_FH_PRIO flag in video_device.

Updated the core prio handling accordingly and set the flag in the three
drivers that do.

bedf8bcf6b [media] v4l2-device: add kref and a release function
The video_device struct has proper ref counting and its release function
will be called when the last user releases it. But no such support was
available for struct v4l2_device. This made it hard to determine when a
USB driver can release the device if it has multiple device nodes.

With one device node it is easy of course, since when the device node is
released, the whole device can be released.

This patch adds refcounting to v4l2_device. When registering device nodes
the v4l2_device refcount will be increased, when releasing device nodes
it will be decreased. The (optional) release function will be called when
the last device node was released.

2c0ab67be1 [media] v4l: Make video_device inherit from media_entity
V4L2 devices are media entities. As such they need to inherit from
(include) the media_entity structure.

When registering/unregistering the device, the media entity is
automatically registered/unregistered. The entity is acquired on device
open and released on device close.

0edf2e5e2b [media] v4l: kill the BKL
All of the hard problems for BKL removal appear to be solved in the
v4l-dvb/master tree. This removes the BKL from the various open
functions that do not need it, or only use it to protect an
open count.

The zoran driver is nontrivial in this regard, so I introduce
a new mutex that locks both the open/release and the ioctl
functions. Someone with access to the hardware can probably
improve that by using the existing lock in all cases.

Finally, all drivers that still use the locked version of the
ioctl function now get called under a new mutex instead of
the BKL.

ee6869afc9 V4L/DVB: v4l2: add core serialization lock
Drivers can optionally set a pointer to a mutex in struct video_device.
The core will use that to lock before calling open, read, write, unlocked_ioctl,
poll, mmap or release.

Updated the documentation as well and ensure that v4l2-event knows about the
lock: it will unlock it before doing a blocking wait on an event and relock it
afterwards.

Ensure that the 'video_is_registered' check is done when the lock is held:
a typical disconnect will take the lock as well before unregistering the
device nodes, so to prevent race conditions the video_is_registered check
should also be done with the lock held.

226c0eeaea V4L/DVB: videotext: remove this obsolete API
Remove the vtx (aka videotext aka teletext) API from the v4l2 core.
This API was scheduled for removal in kernel 2.6.35.

The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.

In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
are no applications actually implementing this API.

The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
around the sliced VBI API instead.

1bb6419433 V4L/DVB: v4l2-dev: fix memory leak
Since commit b402843787
the 'driver_data' field resides in device's struct device_private
which may be allocated by dev_set_drvdata() if device_private
struct was not allocated previously.

dev_set_drvdata() is used in video_set_drvdata() to set
the driver's private data pointer in v4l2 drivers. Setting
the private data _before_ registering the v4l2 device results
in a memory leak since __video_register_device() also calls
video_set_drvdata(), but after zeroing the device structure.
Thus, the reference to the previously allocated device_private
struct goes lost and a new device_private will be allocated.

All v4l drivers which call video_set_drvdata() _before_
calling video_register_device() are affected. The patch fixes
__video_register_device() to preserve previously allocated
device_private reference.

Caught by kmemleak.

806e5b7cfa V4L/DVB (9942): v4l2-dev: check for parent device in get_index.
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.

af128a102c V4L/DVB (9521): V4L: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), 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.

Thanks,
Kay

dd89601d47 V4L/DVB (9133): v4l: disconnect kernel number from minor
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.

7f8ecfab7a V4L/DVB (8852): v4l2: use register_chrdev_region instead of register_chrdev
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.

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.
