[PATCH v2 00/15] lirc_dev fixes and beautification

[PATCH v2 00/15] lirc_dev fixes and beautification

[Andi Shyti]

Hi,

After applying Joe's suggestion, the next patches had some
conflicts, therefore I have to send all the 15 patches again.

This is a collection of fixes, added functionality, coding rework
and trivial coding style fixes.

The first patch is preparatory to the second, which allows the
user to create a lirc driver without receiver buffer, which is
obvious for transmitters. Besides, even though that buffer could
have been used also by transmitters, drivers might have the need
to handle it separately.

The rest of the patches is a series of coding style and code
rework, as I said, some of them are very trivial, but I sent them
anyway because I was on fire.

Patch 14 is a segfault fix, while the last patch adds the
possibility to send to ioctl the set frequency, get frequency and
set length command.

Changelog: V1->V2

 - As Joe recommended, in patch 4 I added the pr_fmt definition
   and removed all the hardcoded prefixes from the pr_*
   functions.

 - In Patch 15, after Sean's review, I removed the definitions of
   the GET/SET_FREQUENCY, I will use GET/SET_SEND_CARRIER
   instead, even though I find the name a bit confusing.

 - In patch 6 I did a better refactoring

Thanks,
Andi

[PATCH v2 01/15] [media] lirc_dev: place buffer allocation on separate function

[Andi Shyti]

During the driver registration, move the buffer allocation on a
separate function.

[PATCH v2 02/15] [media] lirc_dev: allow bufferless driver registration

[Andi Shyti]

Some drivers don't necessarily need to have a FIFO managed buffer
for their transfers. Drivers now should call
lirc_register_bufferless_driver in order to handle the buffer
themselves.

The function works exaclty like lirc_register_driver except of
the buffer allocation.

[PATCH v2 04/15] [media] lirc_dev: replace printk with pr_* or dev_*

[Andi Shyti]

This patch mutes also all the checkpatch warnings related to
printk.

Reword all the printouts so that the string doesn't need to be
split, which fixes the following checkpatch warning:

  WARNING: quoted string split across lines

The whole function is inside an 'if' statement

Check the opposite of that statement at the beginning and exit,
this way we can have one level less of indentation.

[PATCH v2 14/15] [media] lirc_dev: fix potential segfault

[Andi Shyti]

When opening or closing a lirc character device, the framework
provides to the user the possibility to keep track of opening or
closing of the device by calling two functions:

 - set_use_inc() when opening the device
 - set_use_dec() when closing the device

if those are not set by the lirc user, the system segfaults.
Check the pointer value before calling the above functions.

So what does LIRC_GET_LENGTH do? If you want to add an ioctl, it
need justification, documenting in 
Documentatoin/DocBook/media/v4l/lirc_device_interface.xml and there
should be at least one driver using it.

If you want to write a new driver which does IR transmit, it's best
to use the rc-core interface like the existing drivers and do 
not use the lirc interface. Most of the other drivers which implement
IR transmit use rc-core too.

Indeed transmit-only devices don't need an input buffer, which is
just a waste of memory. However can't lirc_register_driver() figure
out from the features if the driver is capable of receiving, i.e.

int lirc_register_driver(struct lirc_driver *d)
{
	int err, minor;

	minor = lirc_allocate_driver(d);
	if (minor < 0)
		return minor;

	if (d->features & LIRC_CAN_REC_MODE2) {
		err = lirc_allocate_buffer(irctls[minor]);
		if (err)
			lirc_unregister_driver(minor);
	}

	return err ? err : minor;
}
