[PATCH 10/10] staging: solo6x10: Avoid extern declaration by reworking module parameter

[Ezequiel Garcia]

This patch moves video_nr module parameter to core.c
and then passes that parameter as an argument to functions
that need it.
This way we avoid the extern declaration and parameter
dependencies are better exposed.

NACK.

The changes to video_nr are supposed to be preserved.

Mmm, I'm sorry but I don't see any functionality change in this patch,
just a cleanup.

What do you mean by "changes to video_nr are supposed to be preserved"?

It is modified by solo_enc_alloc, which is called multiple times by
solo_enc_v4l2_init.

Mmm, I see what you mean. Sorry for not noticing that :-(

However, I still think that extern int is really not needed and should
be cleaned up.
Using global variables is not a nice practice, and using this extern
hides dependencies, i.e. hides who is using video_nr.
(For instance, I failed to see such dependency)

Perhaps, you could consider passing the int as a pointer, so that
solo_enc_alloc()
can modify it.

However, since it's your driver, you have access to the hardware, etc.
I won't push any further this issue. Plus, this little issue is not the
one preventing from moving out of staging.

Feel free to nack any other of the patches,
though I think this one was the only one non-trivial.

Thanks for reviewing,
Ezequiel.

You don't need to modify it at all. video_register_device() will start
looking for a free video node number starting at video_nr and counting
upwards, so increasing video_nr has no purpose. Leaving it out will give
you exactly the same result.

The only driver that does the same thing is vivi, and I think it should
be removed from there as well. The solo driver probably copied it from
vivi :-(

Yes, but perhaps the module author wanted to force a device
/dev/videoX *start* number,
as it's documented in the parameter usage string:

  MODULE_PARM_DESC(video_nr, "videoX start number, -1 is autodetect (default)");

Now, I don't now why would one want to do that or if it makes sense at all.
In any case, it seems it's the intended behavior.

But doing video_nr++ is pointless and will not have an effect.

Example: if video_nr is specified as 2, then video_register_device() will attempt
to make a /dev/video2 node, if that's already in use, then it will try /dev/video3,
etc.

So doing video_nr++ after a video_register_device() will not change the outcome
for the next video_register_device() that is called, and has the somewhat odd
side-effect of changing the video_nr module parameter from what the user passed in.
So cat /sys/module/vivi/parameters/video_nr returns 3 instead of 2.

Just don't change it and let video_register_device() do its magic.

	Hans

Very true.

I did a quick grep through video drivers and it seems no one should be
using this
video_register_device parameter with anything but -1.

Is there any reason to keep it?
