Hi Frederic,
As reported on a separate thread:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1801.1/00110.html
The current approach taken since Kernel 4.9 by this patch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4cd13c21b207e80ddb1144c576500098f2d5f882
Broke applications that record a digital TV channel.
The bug is easily reproductible on RPi3 with LibreELEC and tvheadend (with
both RPi downstram Kernel and with upstream Kernel 4.15-rc7).
Your patchset seems to be better addressing the softirq needs, by only
deferring processing when really needed, instead of always doing it.
I'm now testing if it fixes the issues with the media subsystem.
All tests below were done on a Raspberry Pi3 with a SanDisk Extreme U3 microSD
card with 32GB and a DVBSky S960C DVB-S2 tuner with an external power supply,
connected to a TCP/IP network via Ethernet (with uses USB on RPi). It also
have a serial cable connected to it.
On both systems, I'm running Kernel 4.15-rc7 + your
patches from this branch:
https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=softirq_fixup
TEST 1: Raspbian with v4l-utils
===============================
I booted RPi3 on a raspbian partition and installed v4l-utils from its
git tree.
I added support at v4l-utils[1] to parse MPEG-TS continuity sequence number
on monitor mode.
[1] https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/
Before testing on RPi3, I double-checked the new discontinuity detector
several times on an i7core machine, to be sure that it won't be
producing false alarms, while it would be detecting and reporting
discontinuities when they happens.
On my tests, it is recording MPEG-TS data at ~60Mbits/s.
On this test, it seems that your patchset addresses the issue.
This is the results with your patchset and CONFIG_HZ=100:

Having just a single continuity error on 300 seconds seems acceptable
(and it could be unrelated to Kernel handling).
TEST 2
======
I booted a partition with LibreELEC 8.2.2 and tvheadend backend.
I'm recording one MPEG-TS service/"channel" composed of one audio and
one video stream, while playing the same video twice via network,
using VLC.
The total traffic collected by tvheadend was about 4 Mbits/s
(audio+video+EPG tables). It is part of a 58 mbits/s MPEG Transport
stream, with 23 TV service/"channels" on it.
On LibreELEC, I'm now seeing those logs, just after boot:

I ran libreELEC for about one hour there, and got those errors:

>From this test, it is clear that tvheadend is losing data from the TV
capture USB stick. On the tests I ran before, either reverting changeset

or applying this fixup:

it got better results.
I intend to do further tests on it. Do you have some procedure to better
test it?
Thanks,
Mauro
