The fact that we now explicitly set fepriv->exit = 1 when the thread is
shutting down exposed an edge case where it was not being reset back to zero
once the thread went away in some cases. This resulted in failures in cases
where the frontend was closed, and then opened O_RDONLY, since in that case
the thread is not being restarted but it was checking the fepriv->exit flag.
Thanks to Thierry Lelegard, who and encountered and debugged a large portion
of the issue in the same twelve hours that I did (as well as testing my patch).

A race condition was detected in the case that putting the tuner to sleep takes
an unusually long period of time, combined with applications that quickly
close/open the dvb frontend.
The kaffeine channel scanner closes and reopens the dvb frontend between each
tuning attempt. If it takes an unusually longer period of time to put the
tuner to sleep (for example, the Pinnacle 801e takes 660 ms), the dvb_frontend
thread will still be in a running state (and hence fepriv->thread is still set)
but the fepriv->exit field will still be zero. As a result, if a
dvb_frontend_start() call arrives while the frontend thread is in the process
of terminating, the call will return 0 without actually starting a new thread.
This results in the tuning request being dropped.
To address this, mark fepriv->exit as soon as we know the thread is going to
be terminated, so that dvb_frontend_start() knows to start a new instance.
Problem encountered with Kaffeine 0.8.7 doing ATSC scanning against the
Pinnacle 801e tuner, in conjunction with new code to power down the xc5000
when not in use.

dvb_dvr_read may unlock the dmxdev mutex and return -ENODEV, except this
function is a file op and will never be called with the mutex held.
There's existing mutex_lock and mutex_unlock around the actual read but
it's commented out. These should probably be uncommented but the read
blocks and this could block another non-blocking reader on the mutex
instead.
This change comments out the extra mutex_unlock.

Concurrent access to a single DVB CA 50221 interface slot is generally
discouraged. The underlying drivers (budget-av, budget-ci) do not implement
proper locking and thus two transactions could (and do) interfere with on
another.
This fixes the following problems seen by others and myself:
- sudden i/o errors when writing to the ci device which usually would
result in an undefined state of the hw and require a software restart
- errors about the CAM trying to send a buffer larger than the agreed size
usually also resulting in an undefined state of the hw
Due the to design of the DVB CA 50221 driver, implementing the locks in the
underlying drivers would not be enough and still leave some race conditions,
even though they were harder to trigger.

Several subsystem open handlers dereference the fops_get() return value
without checking it for nullness. This opens a race condition between the
open handler and module unloading.
A module can be marked as being unloaded (MODULE_STATE_GOING) before its
exit function is called and gets the chance to unregister the driver.
During that window open handlers can still be called, and fops_get() will
fail in try_module_get() and return a NULL pointer.
This change checks the fops_get() return value and returns -ENODEV if NULL.

It is not safe to assume that the i2c gate will be open before issuing the

long enough to issue the tuning command.

rather than implementing different ways leading to confusion.
This allows multiple gate_enable/disable's in the tuner_read/write
functions, thereby lesser number of I/O operations throughout,
eventually leading to better results. As a side effect demods that
detect the STOP bit for auto closing of the gate can be avoided, thereby
a very minimal gain in disabling the auto detect feature as well.

When moving from one frontend to another
an application could spawn multiple threads opening
the same new frontend and in some circumstances all of
these could become delayed waiting for the previous
frontend readers or previous frontend writer thread to
complete.
In this scenario the first thread will succeed on open
to bring the new frontend online but any others will return
EBUSY. This is a fault. If the first succeeds and all others
are on the same frontend then they should succeed also.

This add frontend R/W mutual exclusion.
Prior to this point in time it was possible to open both
frontends simultaneously which an MFE card cannot support.
In order to stop this, a delayed open is performed which
has the following function:
- Return EBUSY after a configurable amount of time
if a frontend is unavailable due to the other being
in use.
- Only allow opening of a frontend if the kernel thread
of the other has stopped.
This solution was chosen to allow switching between
frontends to work as seamlessly as possible. When both
frontends are actually opened simultaneously then one
will only open, but if quick switching is performed
between one of many then the new open will succeed in
a clean fashion rather than interrupting a kernel
thread.

A detailed description from the original patches 2 years ago:
"The WinTV-HVR3000 has a single transport bus which is shared between
a DVB-T and DVB-S modulator. These patches build on the bus acquisition
cx88 work from a few weeks ago to add support for this.
So to applications the HVR3000 looks like this:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe0 (cx24123 DVB-S demod)
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe1 (cx22702 DVB-T demod)
Additional boards continue as before, eg:
/dev/dvb/adapter1/fe0 (lgdt3302 ATSC demod)
The basic change is removing the single instance of the videobuf_dvb in
cx8802_dev and saa7134_dev(?) and replacing it with a list and some
supporting functions.
*NOTE* This branch was taken before v4l-dvb was closed for 2.6.19 so
two or three current cx88 patches appear to be reversed by this tree,
this will be cleaned up in the near future. The patches missing change
the mutex handing to core->lock, fix an enumeration problem."
It should be recognised that a number of people have been maintaining
this patchset. Significant levels of Kudos to everyone one involved,
including but not limited to:
Darron Broad
Fabio M. Di Nitto
Carlo Scarfoglio
Hans Werner

who ported and maintained Steve's original patch up to that
time.
