Yeah, I'm also not convinced if it would be worth to represent indirect links. That's why I opted to comment, instead of striping them. > > Regards, > > Hans > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c b/drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c > > index ea76fe54e0e4..e9f24c1479dd 100644 > > --- a/drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c > > +++ b/drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c > > @@ -619,7 +619,7 @@ int dvb_create_media_graph(struct dvb_adapter *adap) > > } > > } > > > > - /* Create indirect interface links for FE->tuner, DVR->demux and CA->ca */ > > + /* Create interface links for FE->tuner, DVR->demux and CA->ca */ > > media_device_for_each_intf(intf, mdev) { > > if (intf->type == MEDIA_INTF_T_DVB_CA && ca) { > > link = media_create_intf_link(ca, intf, > > @@ -634,13 +634,19 @@ int dvb_create_media_graph(struct dvb_adapter *adap) > > if (!link) > > return -ENOMEM; > > } > > - > > +#if 0 > > + /* > > + * Indirect link - let's not create yet, as we don't know how > > + * to handle indirect links, nor if this will > > + * actually be needed. > > + */ > > if (intf->type == MEDIA_INTF_T_DVB_DVR && demux) { > > link = media_create_intf_link(demux, intf, > > MEDIA_LNK_FL_ENABLED); > > if (!link) > > return -ENOMEM; > > } > > +#endif > > if (intf->type == MEDIA_INTF_T_DVB_DVR) { > > ret = dvb_create_io_intf_links(adap, intf, DVR_TSOUT); > > if (ret) > > > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Indirect links are those whose the interface indirectly controls other functions. There are two interfaces that have indirect controls at the DVB side: - the network interface, with also controls the demux; - the DVR interface with also controls the demux. One could argue that the frontend control to the tuner is indirect. Well, that's debateable. There's no way to create subdef interfaces for tuner and demod, as those devices are tightly coupled. So, it was decided that just one interface is the best to control both entities, and there's no plan (or easy way) to decouple both. So, the DVB frontend interface should link to both entities.
