Subjectcx23885-input.c does in fact use a workqueue....
From
Date
Tejun,

I just noticed this commit:

commit 8c71778cbf2c8beaefaa2dee5478aa0622d96682
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

media/video: don't use flush_scheduled_work()

This patch converts the remaining users of flush_scheduled_work() in
media/video.

* bttv-input.c and cx23885-input.c don't use workqueue at all. No
need to flush.
[...]


The cx23885 driver does in fact schedule work for IR input handling:

Here's where it is scheduled for CX23888 chips:

http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git?a=blob;f=drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885-ir.c;h=7125247dd25558678c823ee3262675570c9aa630;hb=HEAD#l76

Here's where it is scheduled for CX23885 chips:

http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git?a=blob;f=drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885-core.c;h=359882419b7f588b7c698dbcfb6a39ddb1603301;hb=HEAD#l1861


The two different chips are handled slightly differently because

a. the CX23888 IR unit is accessable via a PCI register block. The IR
IRQ can be acknowledged with direct PCI register accesses in an
interrupt context, and the IR pulse FIFO serviced later in a workqueue
context.

b. the CX23885 IR unit is accessed over an I2C bus. The CX23885 A/V IRQ
has to be masked in an interrupt context (with PCI registers accesses).
Then the CX23885 A/V unit's IR IRQ is ack'ed over I2C in a workqueue
context and the IR pulse FIFO is also serviced over I2C in a workqueue
context.


So what should be done about the flush_scheduled_work()? I think it
belongs there.

Regards,
Andy
