Subject: [PATCH v7 07/19] media: meson: vdec: Refactor esparser work queue and fix teardown race
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:37:02 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713120840.17427-8-linux.amoon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260713120840.17427-1-linux.amoon@gmail.com>
Rework the esparser work queue logic to prevent concurrent queue mutations
and fix a race condition during streaming teardown.
The previous implementation relied on v4l2_m2m_for_each_src_buf_safe(),
which held the session mutex across the entire queue traversal. This
blocked concurrent operations, caused inaccurate buffer mapping, and
triggered 100+ second watchdog freezes due to an unyielding polling loop.
Additionally, the low-level parser handled buffer ownership adjustments
and completion callbacks directly, leading to inconsistent error paths and
races between streamon and streamoff.
Fix this by utilizing the modern scoped_guard(mutex) mechanism inside the
main worker loop. This allows the session lock to be automatically
dropped on any conditional breakout path, preventing voluntary scheduling
bugs while invoking cond_resched(). De-couple buffer lifecycles from the
hardware parser routine by leveraging safe, linear fetches via
v4l2_m2m_next_src_buf() and v4l2_m2m_src_buf_remove(), ensuring orderly
frame transactions. Refactor esparser_queue() to return explicit error
codes (such as -EBADMSG, -EIO, and -EAGAIN) to safely handle buffer states.
Clean up teardown paths: Execute cancel_work_sync() inside
vdec_stop_streaming() and vdec_close() immediately after
synchronize_irq(). This ensures any pending scheduled queue work is fully
flushed and canceled before the driver destroys hardware instances.
