Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device. Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all the references are released.
Patches 0001 and 0002 are rebased to 4.9-rc4. Patch 0003 for snd-usb-audio is a rebase of the patch that was tested with the original Media Device Allocator patch series.
snd-usb-audio patch includes the fixes found during 4.7-rc1 time in the original snd-usb-audio patch.
Changes to patch 0001 since v3:
- Fixed undefined reference to `__media_device_usb_init compile error when CONFIG_USB is disabled.
- Fixed kernel paging error when accessing /dev/mediaX after rmmod of the module that owns the media_device. The fix bumps the reference count for the owner when second driver comes along to share the media_device. If au0828 owns the media_device, then snd_usb_audio will bump the refcount for au0828, so it won't get deleted and vice versa.
Changes to patch 0002 since v2:
- Updated media_device_delete() to pass in module name.
Changes to patch 0003 since the last version in 4.7-rc1:
- Included fixes to bugs found during testing.
- Updated to use the Media Allocator API.
This patch series has been tested with au0828 and snd-usb-audio drivers. Ran bind and unbind loop tests on each driver with mc_nextgen_test and media_device_test app loop tests while checking lsmod and dmesg.
Please refer to tools/testing/selftests/media_tests/regression_test.txt for testing done on this series.
