Hello Rune

I'm trying to learn more about the linux kernel so I figured helping 
with bugs is a good way to get started.

To me it seems that the resource locking (functions res_get, res_check, 
res_locked and res_free) is subject to race condition.

I looked at older versions of the code and found that there used to be 
locks around some of these pieces. It was removed in commit:

0499a5aa777f8e56e46df362f0bb9d9d116186f9 - V4L/DVB: em28xx: remove BKL

Other V4L drivers use pretty much the same code (res_get, res_free, 
etc.) for resource locking but still have the mutex_lock/unlock around 
it. Does anyone know why this was removed?

Thanks

Because now the video4linux core does the locking.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is the bug that was fixed here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxtv-commits@linuxtv.org/msg09413.html

This fix will be in 2.6.38.

The change in the locking mechanism had nothing to do this particular bug.
It was just incorrect administration of resources.

Thanks for the explanation. I see now how the V4L core locks around the 
ioctls. The member unlocked_ioctl of struct v4l2_file_operations 
confused me a little. Maybe serialized_ioctl would be a better name? Not 
a big issue though.

Hopefully the patch fixes your problem Rune.
