Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] media: nxp: imx8-isi: Reduce minimum queued buffers from 2 to 0
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 08:56:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520125620.3537083-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026051506-heave-police-4137@gregkh>

From: Guoniu Zhou <guoniu.zhou@nxp.com>

[ Upstream commit 2f38622d0f85f317be9e6b131da6cd511db94fd2 ]

Fix a hang issue when capturing a single frame with applications like cam
in libcamera. It would hang waiting for the driver to complete the buffer,
but streaming never starts because min_queued_buffers was set to 2.

The ISI module uses a ping-pong buffer mechanism that requires two buffers
to be programmed at all times. However, when fewer than 2 user buffers are
available, the driver use internal discard buffers to fill the remaining
slot(s). Reduce minimum queued buffers from 2 to 0 allows streaming to
start without any queued buffers.
