A few notes:
1. There is an extra semicolon on that last added line.
Oops. My bifocals.
2. sd->header_read no longer seems necessary.
This is very likely true.
3. If the SOF marker is split over two transfers then everything
falls
apart.
Are you sure about that?
Simple example: One transfer ends with FF FF 00 and the next
begins with FF 96 64. pac_find_sof() returns a pointer to 64, n is
set to 0, len stays the same, data now points at 3 bytes _before_
the transfer buffer, and we will most likely get undefined behavior
when trying to copy the data out of the transfer buffer. Not only
that, but the FF FF 00 portion of the SOF won't get copied to the
frame buffer.
Good point, since we will always pass frames to userspace which
start with the
sof, maybe we should just only pass the variable part of the header
to userspace?
That sure feels like the easiest solution to me.

Hans, that would not solve the problem. In fact, it appears to me
that this problem was already inherent in the driver code before I
proposed any patches at all.
Erm, if I understood correctly (haven't looked yet) the driver is working
with the sof detection from pac_common, which does work with a SOF split
over multiple frames.
That is not my impression of what the code in pac_common is doing. That
code, as I understand, is totally neutral about such things. What is
does is to parse some data and search for an SOF marker, and if it finds
such a thing then it declares the next byte after to be what it calls
"sof". Specifically, there is the function
static unsigned char *pac_find_sof(struct gspca_dev *gspca_dev,
unsigned char *m, int len)
and what it does is that it searches through unsigned char *m up to the
extent declared in int len, looking for an SOF marker. If it finds one,
then it returns the location of the next byte after the SOF marker has
been successfully read.
Check that function again, more carefully, if it fails, but finds a part of
the sof at the end of m it remembers how much of the sof it has already seen
and continues where it left of the next time it is called.
Regards,
Hans
