V4L/DVB: v4l2-dev: after a disconnect any ioctl call will be blocked
Until now all fops except release and (unlocked_)ioctl returned an error
after the device node was unregistered. Extend this as well to the ioctl
fops. There is nothing useful that an application can do here and it
complicates the driver code unnecessarily.

So after the unregister all file operations (except +release, of course) will return an error as well. When the last user of the video device node exits, then the vdev->release() callback is called and you can do the final cleanup there. |
