OOPS in 2.4.25-rc1 -- video1394

[Roland Mas]

  Hi there,

You'll remember Christmas was not that long ago, and the number of
digital camcorders in my possession has grown from nil to one.  And
I've been trying to make the best use of it, with kino as the video
edition/capture/effects/whatever software.

  To the point: I can grab video from it (using the raw1394 system),
but exporting video to it results in an oops.  I've only attached the
ksymoops output from kernel 2.4.25-rc1, but I had similar problems
with 2.4.24.  Of course, when that oops happens, kino crashes with a
segmentation fault.

  Interesting fact: when I export video to the camcorder with a
non-GUI application (dvconnect), I get neither oops nor segfault.
It's just that it doesn't start the recording on the camcorder, so it
isn't very useful: the video appears on the camcorder's screen, but
doesn't go onto tape.

Relevant data (I hope):

- Vanilla 2.4.25-rc1 kernel;
- Debian system (up-to-date sid);
- Sony DRC-TRV33E camcorder;
- lspci shows "00:05.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies,
  Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller (rev 46)"
- ksymoopsed oops (from kern.log):

`----

  The "interesting fact" I mentioned above tells me there might be a
bug in kino, but I'm not sure it should trigger the kernel oops.
Especially since the oops sort of locks the video1394 device so it
can't be used (including by dvconnect) until I reboot the box.

Thanks,

Roland.
