Subject: Re: [PATCH] gspca: add missing .type field check in VIDIOC_G_PARM
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:14:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49C2C3C8.3000300@freemail.hu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0903190032530.28292@shell2.speakeasy.net>
From: Márton Németh <nm127@freemail.hu>
The gspca webcam driver does not check the .type field of struct v4l2_streamparm.
This field is an input parameter for the driver according to V4L2 API specification,
revision 0.24 [1]. Add the missing check.
The missing check was recognised by v4l-test 0.10 [2] together with gspca_sunplus driver
and with "Trust 610 LCD POWERC@M ZOOM" webcam. This patch was verified also with
v4l-test 0.10.
The memset() is not necessary as V4L2 framework already have done this task when
vidioc_g_parm() is called.
