Subject: unplug oops from dvb_frontend_init...
When inadvertently hot-unplugging a WT-220U USB DVB-T receiver with
2.6.24, I was met with an oops [1]. The problem is relevant to
2.6.25/26-rc also.
dvb_frontend_init() was called either from re-creation of the kdvb-fe0
thread - seems unlikely, or someone called
dvb_frontend_reinitialise(), causing this path in the thread - really
unlikely, as I can't find any call-site for it.
Either way, quite a number of drivers call dvb_usb_generic_rw() [2]
without checking the validity of the relevant member in the
dvb_usb_device struct - which had changed. Having dvb_usb_generic_rw()
sanity-check and fail (rather than loading from 0x120) seems
reasonable defensive programming [3], in light of it being called in
this way.
The problem with this, is that drivers don't check the return code of
the init call [4]. Does it make sense to cook a patch which allows the
failure to be propagated back up, or am I missing something else?
Thanks,
Daniel
