[Bug 1088733] Re: Regression in dib0700 dvb-t driver

 

I can confirm that this kernel fixes the bug.

I can also confirm that the bug is present in the stock 3.2.0-35 kernel.

Thanks for looking into this Joseph!

Title:
  Regression in dib0700 dvb-t driver

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I have two dib0700-based dvb-t usb tuners. A Sony PlayTV dual tuner,
  and an Asus U3100+ single tuner. Since the 3.2.0-32 kernel, both these
  tuners have been failing to record.

  The problem first appeared with the 3.2.0-32 kernel. Every kernel up
  to 3.2.0-31 has worked, and the problem has persisted with every
  kernel since 3.2.0-32.

  I've bisected the problem down to this commit: 
    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git;a=commit;h=1cef533d4e688acbf048b5b32e6f3ca9a265ed4e

  Every build before this works, every one from here on fails.
  Reverting this commit onto the current git head fixes the problem.

  Symptoms: zero-byte recordings. The system wakes via bios timer and
  boots cold form poweroff (not sleeping or hibernating).

  There are no error messages in the kernel logs, syslog, or mythbuntu
  logs.

  This is not 100% failure. If I try to manually kick off a recording,
  or watch live tv, it works some of the time, maybe 25% to 50%. I find
  that if a recording has worked once it will tend to continue to work.
  Care must be taken in testing to avoid false positives.

  Unfortunately I do not have a simple test case. My test case is to
  schedule a series of recordings overnight (usually ten), spaced apart
  so that the machine powers off between recordings.

  When failing, I typically get all recordings zero-byte length. Occasionally one will work.
  When passing, they all work. (Once a month I get a zero-byte recording, but they are pretty rare).

  I get the exact same behaviour between the Asus tuner and the Sony
  tuner, neither one of these appears to be the culprit.

  I'm more than happy to run any test cases for this.
