Description artiyfm 2013-07-29 15:50:40 UTC
I get this message when plugging a 'Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick'
- other reports the same error with a 'Siano Mobile Silicon Nice'

smscore_load_firmware_family2: line: 986: sending MSG_SMS_DATA_VALIDITY_REQ expecting 0xcfed1755
smscore_onresponse: line: 1565: MSG_SMS_DATA_VALIDITY_RES, checksum = 0xcfed1755

Kernel 3.9.x and earlier kernels respond with:
smscore_set_device_mode: firmware download success: sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw
Comment 1 orodruinlair 2013-08-24 11:23:36 UTC
Similar problem here. Kernel version (3.10.7)

smsusb 2-1:1.0: usb_probe_interface
smsusb 2-1:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id
smscore_load_firmware_family2: line: 986: sending MSG_SMS_DATA_VALIDITY_REQ expecting 0x9cb9c6dc
smscore_onresponse: line: 1565: MSG_SMS_DATA_VALIDITY_RES, checksum = 0x9cb9c6dc
DVB: registering new adapter (Siano Nova B Digital Receiver)
usb 2-1: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Siano Mobile Digital MDTV Receiver)...


If I try to use the device with this kernel I get a kernel panic. With 3.8.x series this device with this firmware works properly.
Comment 2 Vincent Gibault 2013-09-04 17:54:23 UTC
Same problem here,
i can load only load the udev rules when i plug the device ( not when i start the computer with the plug device ).

When i use the device, i get a kernel panic ( my computer freeze, and i had to reboot).

The above messages look ok.

We need a dump of the kernel panic message, in order to know where it is broken.

Could you please identify the lines where the errors occurred with gdb? Getting it should be easy if you compiled the kernel by hand, or if your distribution has packages for the debug symbol tables.

To get the lines where the error occurred, you need to call gdb with:

$ gdb <path>/smsdvb.ko

(for smsdvb_onresponse+0x280 and smsusb_onresponse+0x153)

and

$ gdb <path>/smsmdtv.ko

(for smscore_onresponse+0xd1)

and, inside gcc:

list <symbol>

For example, this is how to do it on Fedora:

1) Installing the debug info for the current kernel:
    # debuginfo-install kernel-3.10.10-200.fc19.x86_64

(this step is dependent on your distro packages the debuginfo data - and only applies if you're not compiling the kernel by yourself)

On Debian (and likely Ubuntu), this is done with:
   # apt-get install kernel-dbg

2) Using gdb to get the line of the code:

I forgot to mention that I'm using a 64bit kernel.

orodruinlair/Christoph Pegel,

Ok, if both ts_packets and ets_packets are 0, this will cause a division by zero, causing the Kernel panic.

The fix is easy: it should not call do_div if the denominator is zero.

I saw a patch for it already at the linux-media ML for one frontend (not sure if it was for this one or for another one).

I'll double check and post an additional comment with the patch.

Yes. This was fixed by commit ec532503209053bbee0c7dac410031e50835e01a:

It should be backported to -stable and to the distro Kernels.

I patched that commit into my kernel and it still panics. Everything looks the same except the RIP now contains the address of the if statement:

(gdb) list *smsdvb_onresponse+0x495
0x14b5 is in smsdvb_onresponse (drivers/media/common/siano/smsdvb-main.c:278).
273		c->post_bit_error.stat[0].uvalue += p->ber_error_count;
274		c->post_bit_count.stat[0].uvalue += p->ber_bit_count;
275	
276		/* Legacy PER/BER */
277		tmp = p->ets_packets * 65535;
278		if (p->ts_packets + p->ets_packets)
279			do_div(tmp, p->ts_packets + p->ets_packets);
280		client->legacy_per = tmp;
281	}
