media: rc: fix race between unregister and urb/irq callbacks

2026-06-19T11:39:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit dccc0c3ddf8f16071736f98a7d6dd46a2d43e037 ] Some rc device drivers have a race condition between rc_unregister_device() and irq or urb callbacks. This is because rc_unregister_device() does two things, it marks the device as unregistered so no new commands can be issued and then it calls rc_free_device(). This means the driver has no chance to cancel any pending urb callbacks or interrupts after the device has been marked as unregistered. Those callbacks may access struct rc_dev or its members (e.g. struct ir_raw_event_ctrl), which have been freed by rc_free_device(). This change removes the implicit call to rc_free_device() from rc_unregister_device(). This means that device drivers can call rc_unregister_device() in their remove or disconnect function, then cancel all the urbs and interrupts before explicitly calling rc_free_device(). Note this is an alternative fix for an issue found by Haotian Zhang, see the Closes: tags.

media: rc-core: rename ir_raw_event_reset to ir_raw_event_overflow

2022-01-28T18:32:50+00:00

The driver report a reset event when the hardware reports and overflow. There is no reason to have a generic "reset" event. Signed-off-by: Sean Young Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

media: lirc: simplify gap calculation

2022-01-24T00:38:32+00:00

When a driver reports a timeout, no more IR activity will be reported until the next pulse. A space is inserted between the timeout and the next pulse, based on ktime. The timeout reports already a duration, so this duration should not be added to the gap. Otherwise there is no change to the functionality.

media: lirc: always send timeout reports

2021-12-14T14:09:12+00:00

Without timeout reports, it is impossible to decode many protocols since it is not known when the transmission ends. timeout reports are sent by default, but can be turned off. There is no reason to turn them off, and I cannot find any software which does this, so we can safely remove it. This makes the ioctl LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT_REPORTS a no-op.

media: rc: rename s_learning_mode() to s_wideband_receiver()

2021-07-22T06:21:53+00:00

The s_learning_mode() function is called in response to the ioctl LIRC_SET_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER, so rename it to s_wideband_receiver(). Learning mode is when both the wideband receiver is turned on and carrier reports are enabled. Signed-off-by: Sean Young Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

media: rc-loopback: max_timeout of UINT_MAX does not work

2021-07-22T06:21:03+00:00

Any timeout larger than LIRC_VALUE_MASK cannot work for the lirc uapi. LIRC_VALUE_MASK is about 16 seconds which is more than enough. Signed-off-by: Sean Young Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

media: rc: harmonize infrared durations to microseconds

2020-09-03T14:18:55+00:00

rc-core kapi uses nanoseconds for infrared durations for receiving, and microseconds for sending. The uapi already uses microseconds for both, so this patch does not change the uapi. Infrared durations do not need nanosecond resolution. IR protocols do not have durations shorter than about 100 microseconds. Some IR hardware offers 250 microseconds resolution, which is sufficient for most protocols. Better hardware has 50 microsecond resolution and is enough for every protocol I am aware off. Unify on microseconds everywhere. This simplifies the code since less conversion between microseconds and nanoseconds needs to be done.

media: rc: make scancodes 64 bit

2020-03-12T08:20:46+00:00

There are many protocols that encode more than 32 bit. We want 64 bit support so that BPF IR decoders can decode more than 32 bit. None of the existing kernel IR decoders/encoders support 64 bit, for now. The MSC_SCAN event can only contain 32 bit scancodes, so we only generate MSC_SCAN events if the scancode fits into 32 bits. The full 64 bit scancode can be read from the lirc chardev. Signed-off-by: Sean Young Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

This can be done with c99 initializers, which makes the code cleaner and more transparent. It does require gcc 4.6, because of this bug in earlier versions: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10676 Since commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6"), this is the case.
