ir_codes_dibusb_table : please make table length a constant

2010-08-26 Thread Jan Hoogenraad

During debugging a driver, I found that at least in

linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dibusb-mc.c 
the length of ir_codes_dibusb_table was referring to an older version.
This may have caused memory overrun problems

I have fixed this in my branch in
linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dibusb.h
 with a
#define IR_CODES_DIBUSB_TABLE_LEN 111

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2/rev/549b40b69fa4

I agree this is not the nicest solution, but at at least would reduce 
some problems.

I am not sure on how to create a patch for this ?
Should I make a new branch in the HG archive ?

I suggest to replate the 111-s into IR_CODES_DIBUSB_TABLE_LEN in the 
files below as well:


* drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dibusb-common.c:
  o line 330
  o line 459
* drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dibusb-mb.c:
  o line 215
  o line 299
  o line 363
  o line 420
* drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dibusb.h, line 127

The proper solution is to migrate dibusb to use the new ir-core way, just like 
we did at
drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c:
