Subject: DVBv5 qos/stats driver implementation
Date: Tue, 05 May 2015 15:26:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5548D2FF.3050100@gmail.com> (raw)

Mauro/Antti,

Myself and Patrick are currently in the process of bringing an old out 
of tree frontend driver into shape for inclusion, and one of the issues 
raised by Mauro was the requirement for the new DVBv5 stats method. I've 
noticed there seems to be two different ways of going around this - one 
is to run through the collection and cache filling process during the 
calls to read_status (as in dib7000p/dib8000p), and the other is to poll 
independently every couple of seconds via schedule_delayed_work (as in 
af9033, rtl2830/2832).

Is there any reason for the two different ways - is it just a coding 
preference or is there some specifics to how these frontends need to be 
implemented?

Thanks,

Jemma.
