dvbloopback in Linux 2.6.38

Compiling and using sasc-ng and dvbloopback with Linux 2.6.38 is a hassle. Here’s how to get it working. Prequisites: Ubuntu Lucid Kernel 2.6.38-11-generic We need to patch both the kernel dvb module as well as the dvbloopback source. Download linux-2.6.38-dvb-mutex.patch to your home folder. $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-uname -r Now let’s get the kernel source, patch it, and recompile the dvb-core module. $ cd /usr/src $ sudo apt-get source kernel-image-uname -r $ cd linux-2.6.38 $ sudo patch -p1 < ~/linux-2.6.38-dvb-mutex.patch $ sudo make mrproper $ sudo cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config $ sudo cp /usr/src/linux-headers-uname -r/Module.symvers /usr/src/linux-2.6.38/ $ sudo make oldconfig $ sudo make prepare $ sudo make scripts $ sudo make M=drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core $ sudo cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.38/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb-core.ko /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/ Next, head to your sasc-ng source directory and apply the following patch [c] — contrib/sasc-ng/dvbloopback/module/dvblb_forward.c 2011-04-25 02:44:10.511089600 +0300 +++ contrib/sasc-ng/dvbloopback/module/dvblb_forward.c 2011-04-24 21:04:17.000000000 +0300 @@ -166,9 +166,9 @@ struct file ftmp = find_forwardmap(lbdev, f->private_data); if (!ftmp || IS_ERR(ftmp)) return -EFAULT; - if (lbdev->forward_dev->fops &&lbdev->forward_dev->fops->ioctl) - return lbdev->forward_dev->fops->ioctl( - ftmp->f_dentry->d_inode, ftmp, cmd, arg); + if (lbdev->forward_dev->fops &&lbdev->forward_dev->fops->unlocked_ioctl) + return lbdev->forward_dev->fops->unlocked_ioctl( + ftmp, cmd, arg); return -EFAULT; } — contrib/sasc-ng/dvbloopback/module/dvb_loopback.c 2011-04-25 02:44:10.511089600 +0300 +++ contrib/sasc-ng/dvbloopback/module/dvb_loopback.c 2011-04-25 00:42:54.234135688 +0300 @@ -118,9 +118,9 @@ / This is a copy of dvb_usercopy.
