e42837bcd3 freezer: introduce freezer-friendly waiting macros
Introduce freezer-friendly wrappers around wait_event_interruptible() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), originally defined in <linux/wait.h>, to
be used in freezable kernel threads.  Make some of the freezable kernel
threads use them.

This is necessary for the freezer to stop sending signals to kernel threads,
which is implemented in the next patch.

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

if the conversion process is fine with the v4l-dvb maintainers, it should not

ba7e6f3e3e V4L/DVB (4665): Add frontend structure callback for bus acquisition.
This patch enables generic bus arbitration callbacks enabling
dvbcore frontend_open and frontend_release to pass 'acquire'
and 'release' hardware messages back into the DVB bridge frameworks.
Frameworks like cx88 can then implement single bus multiple demod
card sharing features, which would prohibit two frontends from attempting
to use a single transport bus at the same time.

04c56d0e5b V4L/DVB (4292): Fix DISEQC regression
The changes to add frontend reinitialisation moved the position where the
init() op is called into the frontend thread. Unfortunately, since DISEQC
operations do not use the frontend thread, this meant that DISEQC could be
called against an uninitalised frontend, leading to all sorts of trouble.
Patch fixes this by reinstating the original fronted intialisation call.

dea74869f3 V4L/DVB (4028): Change dvb_frontend_ops to be a real field instead of a pointer field inside dvb_frontend
The dvb_frontend_ops is a pointer inside dvb_frontend. That's why every demod-driver
is having a field of dvb_frontend_ops in its private-state-struct and
using the reference for filling the pointer-field in dvb_frontend.
- It saves at least two lines of code per demod-driver,
- reduces object size (one less dereference per frontend_ops-access),
- be coherent with dvb_tuner_ops,
- makes it a little bit easier for newbies to understand how it works and
- avoids stupid mistakes because you would have to copy the dvb_frontend_ops
  always, before you could assign the static pointer directly, which was
  dangerous.

86f40cc3c9 V4L/DVB (3673): Fix budget-av CAM reset
Unfortunately on the budget-av board, the CAM reset line is tied to the
frontend reset line, so resetting the CAM also zaps the frontend. This
breaks the tda1004x at least, and causes it to fail to tune until the
budget-av module is reloaded. This patch adds an exported function to dvb_frontend
that allows a card to forcibly reinitialise a frontend. The budget-av now
does this on CAM reset, which corrects this problem.
since they do not tie the CAM reset line to the frontend reset line.

3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!
