Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 1/3] media: cedrus: Fix watchdog race condition

Dne četrtek, 18. avgust 2022 ob 22:33:06 CEST je Nicolas Dufresne napisal(a):
> The watchdog needs to be schedule before we trigger the decode
> operation, otherwise there is a risk that the decoder IRQ will be
> called before we have schedule the watchdog. As a side effect, the
> watchdog would never be cancelled and its function would be called
> at an inappropriate time.
> 
> This was observed while running Fluster with GStreamer as a backend.
> Some programming error would cause the decoder IRQ to be call very
> quickly after the trigger. Later calls into the driver would deadlock
> due to the unbalanced state.
