From 5c96ebb7cea790c6ca1b8b70fdea531fb194dabb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2011 07:56:11 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] videobuf-dvb: avoid spurious ENOMEM when CONFIG_DVB_NET=n videobuf_dvb_register_bus relies on dvb_net_init to set dvbnet->dvbdev on success, but ever since commit fcc8e7d8c0e2 ("dvb_net: Simplify the code if DVB NET is not defined"), ->dvbdev is left unset when networking support is disabled. Therefore in such configurations videobuf_dvb_register_bus always returns failure, tripping little-tested error handling paths and preventing the device from being initialized and used. Now that dvb_net_init returns a nonzero value on error, we can use that as a more reliable error indication. Do so. Now your card be used with CONFIG_DVB_NET=n, and the kernel will pass on a more useful error code describing what happened when CONFIG_DVB_NET=y but dvb_net_init fails due to resource exhaustion.
