In dvb_ringbuffer lock-less synchronizationof reader and writer threads is done with separateread and write pointers. Sincedvb_ringbuffer_flush() modifies the read pointer, this function must not be called from the writer thread. This patch removes the dvb_ringbuffer_flush() calls in the dmxdev ringbuffer write functions, this fixes Oopses "Unable to handle kernel paging request" I could observe for the call chaindvb_demux_read ->dvb_dmxdev_buffer_read -> dvb_ringbuffer_read_user -> __copy_to_user (the reader side of the ringbuffer). The flush calls at the write side are not necessary anyway since ringbuffer_flush is also called in dvb_dmxdev_buffer_read() when an error condition is set in the ringbuffer. This patch should also be applied to stable kernels.
