A quick grep over the media directory reveals that many drivers (including videobuf_streamon) return EBUSY for some cases. This patch was not intended to introduce something new to the API. I just wanted to document an undocumented return value. How should the EBUSY return be interpreted? Or should we get rid of it? -- Best regards, Pawel Osciak -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
