Subject: [PATCH] media: don't drop front-end reference count for ->detach
Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 10:48:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180102095154.3424890-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
A bugfix introduce a link failure in configurations without CONFIG_MODULES:
In file included from drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c:20:0:
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c: In function 'pctv452e_frontend_attach':
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stb0899_drv.h:151:36: error: weak declaration of 'stb0899_attach' being applied to a already existing, static definition
The problem is that the !IS_REACHABLE() declaration of stb0899_attach()
is a 'static inline' definition that clashes with the weak definition.
I further observed that the bugfix was only done for one of the five users
of stb0899_attach(), the other four still have the problem. This reverts
the bugfix and instead addresses the problem by not dropping the reference
count when calling '->detach()', instead we call this function directly
in dvb_frontend_put() before dropping the kref on the front-end.
