Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] media: uvcvideo: Avoid partial metadata buffers
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:19:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417-uvc-meta-partial-v2-2-31d274af7d2d@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417-uvc-meta-partial-v2-0-31d274af7d2d@chromium.org>

If the metadata queue that is empty receives a new buffer while we are
in the middle of processing a frame, the first metadata buffer will
contain partial information.

Avoid this by tracking the state of the metadata buffer and making sure
that it is in sync with the data buffer.

Now that we are at it, make sure that we skip buffers of size 1 or 0.
They are not allowed by the spec... but it is a simple check to add and
better be safe than sorry.

Fixes: 088ead255245 ("media: uvcvideo: Add a metadata device node")
