Subject: [Regression w/ patch] Media commit causes user space to misbahave (was: Re: Linux 3.8-rc1)
Hi Laurent,
Commit f0ed2ce ([media] uvcvideo: Set error_idx properly for extended
controls API failures) of yours unfortunately causes user space to misbehave
on one of my test systems. Namely, there's no sound under KDE 4.9.4
(Tumbleweed version using pulseaudio) and there's a knotify4 process occupying
one of the CPU cores entirely 100% of the time.
I used the patch below to fix the problem for me.
Thanks,
Rafael

Subject: [media]: Revert part of commit f0ed2ce to fix user space breakage
Commit f0ed2ce ([media] uvcvideo: Set error_idx properly for extended
controls API failures) causes user space to behave incorrectly on one
of my test machines (there is no sound under KDE 4.9.4 using
pulseaudio and there is a knotify4 process occupying one of the CPU
cores 100% of the time). Reverting that commit entirely fixes the
problem for me.
However, commit f0ed2ce appears to do more than it follows from its
changelog, because the changelog only says about the changes related
to ctrls->error_idx, while the commit additionally changes error
codes returned by various functions in uvc_ctrl.c and uvc_v4l2.c. It
turns out that the changes of the returned error codes confuse the
user spce, so it is sufficient to revert the part of commit f0ed2ce
not mentioned in its changelog to fix the problem.
