Various nits, fixes and hacks for mantis CA support on SMP
Hi Steinar,
thanks for the help with the driver!
I started some testing and so far the changes seem to be fine, but I still get freezes from time to time. I have to admit that I still need to test if I get the same error with other applications than mythtv.
Anyway I would like to see the changes in mainline. Maybe it would be a good idea to add a driver module parameter so the cam stuff (wait hack, ts passthrough) is only activated with the parameter set.
The problem with the IRQ0 flag is still a mystery to me, I have no idea in which layer the problem is, but as long as the hack causes no harm I'm ok with it.
Regards,
Manuel

It seems to be CAM dependent for me, unfortunately. With a pretty standard Conax CAM I am stable for a week or more, but with PowerCAM 4.6 I get errors and timeouts in matters of hours.
It may of course be related to the fact that due to odd technicalities I can't test the same transponders on the two CAMs. :-/

I've looked at splitting them in patches, but the CA passthrough enable has unknown origin as far as I know. Maybe it's trivial enough that I can just recreate it; does anyone know if that's commonly considered acceptable? (The patch is only a few lines.)
