V4L/DVB (10572): Revert commit dda06a8e46

On Mon, 02 Feb 2009, Hartmut wrote:

This change set is wrong. The affected functions cannot be called from
an interrupt context, because they may process large buffers. In this
case, interrupts are disabled for a long time. Functions, like
dvb_dmx_swfilter_packets(), could be called only from a tasklet.

This change set does hide some strong design bugs in dm1105.c and
au0828-dvb.c.

Please revert this change set and do fix the bugs in dm1105.c and
au0828-dvb.c (and other files).

This changeset _must_ be reverted! It breaks all kernels since 2.6.27
for applications which use DVB and require a low interrupt latency.

It is a very bad idea to call the demuxer to process data buffers with
interrupts disabled!

I agree, this is bad.  The demuxer is far too much work to be done with
IRQs off.  IMHO, even doing it under a spin-lock is excessive.  It should
be a mutex.  Drivers should use a work-queue to feed the demuxer.

Thank you for testing this changeset and discovering the issues on it.
