Subject: [PATCH 1/7] [media] cx88: protect per-device driver list with device
lock
The BKL conversion of this driver seems to have gone wrong. Various
uses of the sub-device and driver lists appear to be subject to race
conditions.
In particular, some functions access drvlist without a relevant lock
held, which will race against removal of drivers. Let's start with
that --- clean up by consistently protecting dev->drvlist with
dev->core->lock, noting driver functions that require the device lock
to be held or not to be held.
After this patch, there are still some races --- e.g.,
cx8802_blackbird_remove can run between the time the blackbird driver
is acquired and the time it is used in mpeg_release, and there's a
similar race in cx88_dvb_bus_ctrl. Later patches will address the
remaining known races and the deadlock noticed by Andi. This patch
just makes the semantics clearer in preparation for those later
changes.
Based on work by Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>.
