Subject: [PATCH 1/6] media: az6007: fix CAM status polling after disconnect
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 02:14:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923001410.30297-2-pepe.schlehofer@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923001410.30297-1-pepe.schlehofer@gmail.com>
az6007_ci_poll_slot_status() returns -EIO when the status request fails.
dvb_ca_en50221 treats the return value as a bitmask, so -EIO is
interpreted as CAM_PRESENT|CAM_CHANGED. The CA state machine then
handles a CAM change for every failed poll, without sleeping in between.
After an unplug, every poll fails this way and the CA thread can spin
forever in dvb_ca_en50221_thread_state_machine(), preventing the USB
disconnect from completing. This happened when unplugging a TechniSat
CableStar Combo HD CI with a CAM inserted, and rcu_sched reported a
stall.
Report no CAM when the status request or buffer allocation fails, and
only inspect the status byte when the request returned data. A read
error while a CAM is present is then treated as a removal and the CAM is
reinitialised after the next successful poll.
Fixes: 962f8f67e486 ("[media] Add CI support to az6007 driver")
