Can you merge the following branch into the media tree please. This is to complete part of the Userspace API (UAPI) disintegration for which the preparatory patches were pulled recently.

As you might notice, av7110 hardware is really old, not manufactured anymore since maybe 10 years ago, and it is an unmaintained driver. Some developers complained, arguing that moving it to a separate file would be breaking the compilation on existing tools (they're basically concerned with it due to out-of-tree drivers - mostly propietary ones, that use this API). Now that we're moving everything, it does make sense to do that, moving dvb/(audio|osd|video).h to someplace else (maybe linux/dvb/av7110.h or linux/dvb/legacy/*.h).

As long as they're relying on the -I flags provided by the build tree, that oughtn't to be a problem. If they're doing their own -I flags, they'll need to add -I include/uapi too (_after_ -I include). > Now that we're moving everything, it does make sense to do that, moving > dvb/(audio|osd|video).h to someplace else (maybe linux/dvb/av7110.h or > linux/dvb/legacy/*.h). Do you want me to do anything? I should be able to incorporate a patch prior to the disintegration of linux/dvb/ if you have one.

Hans Verkuil and you tried to do it, without caring that it would break userspace, and it was NAKed. Btw, if there is an API conflict, you guys created it. Anyone, who is interested in the _true_ history, should have a look at the GIT changelog: - dvb/{video.h,audio.h,osd.h} was the original decoder API. - Then Hans extended this API, still using the same files. - Later the v4l guys decided to create a new API. - Now they want to (re)move the old one, breaking userspace. I explicitly NAK any attempt to break userspace applications and tools! There is no reason to do it! > and are used only by one upstream driver (there were two drivers using them, > at that time). As you might notice, av7110 hardware is really old, not > manufactured anymore since maybe 10 years ago, and it is an unmaintained > driver. The driver works fine, and it will continue to do so, unless someone tampers with it. It does not require maintenance. The hardware is old, but it is still in use, as it is easy to create a pc-based settopbox with it. > Some developers complained, arguing that moving it to a separate file would > be breaking the compilation on existing tools (they're basically concerned with > it due to out-of-tree drivers - mostly propietary ones, that use this API). It you move the API somewhere else, you will break userspace applications like VDR. This is not acceptable. > Now that we're moving everything, it does make sense to do that, moving > dvb/(audio|osd|video).h to someplace else (maybe linux/dvb/av7110.h or > linux/dvb/legacy/*.h). As far as I understand the original patchset, it will not break userspace, as it will simply move all files somewhere else, preserving file names and the position of the files in the tree. Mauro is trying to the move the old decoder API somewhere else, possibly into a different file, which will definitely break userspace. NAK for this! Regards, Oliver

As of writing; the av7110 is the only driver in-kernel, but there is more to it: Such drivers are hard to bring up and takes an awful amount of time.

My understanding here is that, as the file location will change with this series, your original concern is now void, as userspace will require patches to use the new location. So, if we're willing to do it, let's put this one-driver-only obsolete API on a separate place.
