Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm doing the conversion of drivers under dvb-usb,
at:
https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=media_dmastack_fixes
I'll be sending the patches to the ML after ready.
I'll then take a look on other USB drivers that use the stack. I guess
the non-USB media drivers are safe from this issue.
Thanks,
