PPS events must be recorded according to PPS's mode settings.
If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS
client calls the pps_event() function to save the current PPS event, we
should verify the event type and then discard unwanted ones.
Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS
event (assert or clear but not both) may be awakened at wrong time.

In case of failure, device_create() returns not NULL but the error code.
The current code checks for non-NULL though which causes kernel oops in
sysfs_create_group() when device_create() fails. Check for error using
IS_ERR() and propagate the error value using PTR_ERR() instead of fixed
-ENODEV code returned now...

v3020_mmio_read_bit() always returns 0 when left_shift > 7.
v3020_mmio_read_bit()'s return type is (unsigned char). The code returns
a value masked by (1 << left_shift) that is casted to the return type. If
left_shift is larger than 7, the cast will always result in a 0 return
value. The problem was discovered with left_shift = 16, and the included
patch corrects the problem.
The bug was introduced in the last (Apr 3 2009) commit of the file, kernel
versions 2.6.30 and later.

Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer.
They are used only in two drivers:
1. savagefb - and cause bug #11248
2. uvesafb
Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these
operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future.
Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248.
The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics
and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before
switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in
the fb_release). This defeats the purpose of these operations.

Rafael debugged a resume-time hang (with oopses in workqueue handling)
on his laptop that was due to the 'waker' workqueue entry being
disconnected and then released without the workqueue entry having been
synchronized.
Several people were involved, with Oleg Nesterov doing a debugging patch
showing what workqueue entry was corrupt etc.
This was a regression introduced by commit 7bee549e19 ("Bluetooth: Add
USB autosuspend support to btusb driver") as Rafael points out (not
actually bisected, but it became clear once the bug was found).

waiting processes
The s2255 driver had logic which aborted processing of a video frame
if there was no process waiting on the video buffer in question. That
simply doesn't work when the application is doing things in an
asynchronous manner. If the application went to the trouble to queue
the buffer in the first place, then the driver should always attempt
to complete it - even if the application at that moment has its
attention turned elsewhere. Applications which always blocked waiting
for I/O on the capture device would not have been affected by this.
Applications which *mostly* blocked waiting for I/O on the capture
device probably only would have been somewhat affected (frame lossage,
at a rate which goes up as the application blocks less). Applications
which never blocked on the capture device (e.g. polling only) however
would never have been able to receive any video frames, since in that
case this "is anyone waiting on this?" check on the buffer never would
have evalutated true. This patch just deletes that harmful check
against the buffer's wait queue.

Because the counters were not reset when starting up streaming, they would
be reused from the previous run. This can result in cases such that when the
second instance of streaming starts up, the "cnt" variable in
em28xx_audio_isocirq() can end up being negative, resulting in attempting to
write to memory before the start of runtime->dma_area (as well as having a
negative number of bytes to copy).

The bttv driver function which handles switching of the video standard
(set_tvnorm() in bttv-driver.c) includes a check which can optionally
also reset the cropping configuration to a default value. It is
"optional" based on a comparison of the cropcap parameters of the
previous vs the newly requested video standard. The comparison is
being done with a memcmp(), a function which only returns a true value
if the comparison actually fails.
This if-statement appears to have been written to assume wrong
memcmp() semantics. That is, it was re-initializing the cropping
configuration only if the new video standard did NOT have different
cropcap values. That doesn't make any sense. One definitely should
reset things if the cropcap parameters are different - if there's any
comparison to made at all.
The effect of this problem was that a transition from, say, PAL to
NTSC would leave in place old cropping setup that made sense for the
PAL geometry but not for NTSC. If the application doesn't care about
cropping it also won't try to reset the cropping configuration,
resulting in an improperly cropped video frame. In the case I was
testing this actually caused black video frames to be displayed.
Another interesting effect of this bug is that if one does something
which does NOT change the video standard and this function is run,
then the cropping setup gets reset anyway - again because of the
backwards comparison. It turns out that just running anything which
merely opens and closes the video device node (e.g. v4l-info) will
cause this to happen. One can argue that simply opening the device
node and not doing anything to it should not mess with any of its
state - but because of this behavior, any TV app which does such
things (e.g. xawtv) probably therefore doesn't see the problem.
The solution is to fix the sense of the if-statement. It's easy to
see how this mistake could have been made given how memcmp() works.
The patch is therefore removal of a single "!" character from the
if-statement in set_tvnorm in bttv-driver.c.

There is a subtle interaction in the bttv driver which can result in
fields being repeatedly processed out of order. This is a problem
specifically when running in V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE mode (probably the
most common case).
1. The determination of which fields are associated with which buffers
happens in videobuf, before the bttv driver gets a chance to queue the
corresponding DMA. Thus by the point when the DMA is queued for a
given buffer, the algorithm has to do the queuing based on the
buffer's already assigned field type - not based on which field is
"next" in the video stream.
2. The driver normally tries to queue both the top and bottom fields
at the same time (see bttv_irq_next_video()). It tries to sort out
top vs bottom by looking at the field type for the next 2 available
buffers and assigning them appropriately.
3. However the bttv driver *always* actually processes the top field
first. There's even an interrupt set aside for specifically
recognizing when the top field has been processed so that it can be
marked done even while the bottom field is still being DMAed.
Given all of the above, if one gets into a situation where
bttv_irq_next_video() gets entered when the first available buffer has
been pre-associated as a bottom field, then the function is going to
process the buffers out of order. That first available buffer will be
put into the bottom field slot and the buffer after that will be put
into the top field slot. Problem is, since the top field is always
processed first by the driver, then that second buffer (the one after
the first available buffer) will be the first one to be finished.
Because of the strict fifo handling of all video buffers, then that
top field won't be seen by the app until after the bottom field is
also processed. Worse still, the app will get back the
chronologically later bottom field first, *before* the top field is
received. The buffer's timestamps will even be backwards.
While not fatal to most TV apps, this behavior can subtlely degrade
userspace deinterlacing (probably will cause jitter). That's probably
why it has gone unnoticed. But it will also cause serious problems if
the app in question discards all but the latest received buffer (a
latency minimizing tactic) - causing one field to only ever be
displayed since the other is now always late. Unfortunately once you
get into this state, you're stuck this way - because having consumed
two buffers, now the next time around the "first" available buffer
will again be a bottom field and the same thing happens.
How can we get into this state? In a perfect world, where there's
always a few free buffers queued to the driver, it should be
impossible. However if something disrupts streaming, e.g. if the
userspace app can't queue free buffers fast enough for a moment due
perhaps to a CPU scheduling glitch, then the driver can get
momentarily starved and some number of fields will be dropped. That's
OK. But if an odd number of fields get dropped, then that "first"
available buffer might be the bottom field and now we're stuck...
This patch fixes that problem by deliberately only setting up a single
field for one frame if we don't get a top field as the first available
buffer. By purposely skipping the other field, then we only handle a
single buffer thus bringing things back into proper sync (i.e. top
field first) for the next frame. To do this we just drop the few
lines in bttv_irq_next_video() that attempt to set up the second
buffer when that second buffer isn't for the bottom field.
This is definitely a problem in when in V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE mode. In
the other modes this change either has no effect or doesn't harm
things any further anyway.
