From 414abbd2cd4c2618895f02ed3a76ec6647281436 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soeren Moch Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 21:26:23 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] media: dmxdev: remove dvb_ringbuffer_flush() on writer side In dvb_ringbuffer lock-less synchronizationof reader and writer threads is done with separateread and write pointers. Sincedvb_ringbuffer_flush() modifies the read pointer, this function must not be called from the writer thread. This patch removes the dvb_ringbuffer_flush() calls in the dmxdev ringbuffer write functions, this fixes Oopses "Unable to handle kernel paging request" I could observe for the call chaindvb_demux_read ->dvb_dmxdev_buffer_read -> dvb_ringbuffer_read_user -> __copy_to_user (the reader side of the ringbuffer). The flush calls at the write side are not necessary anyway since ringbuffer_flush is also called in dvb_dmxdev_buffer_read() when an error condition is set in the ringbuffer. This patch should also be applied to stable kernels.
