Isn't this just a bug fix? It seems reasonable to always set this when allocating buffers for a queue. And for v4l2 these values can be changed if supported by the driver (allow_cache_hints is set). So the comment would be: /* * We need to set these flags here so that the videobuf2 core * will call ->prepare()/->finish() cache sync/flush on vb2 * buffers when appropriate. However, we can avoid explicit * ->prepare() and ->finish() cache sync for DMABUF buffers, * because DMA exporter takes care of it. */ The commit message would need to be modified as well.

It's a workaround bug fix in a sense that a proper bug fix is to rename these flags and invert them (and patch all the functions that set and test them).

We need to always set ->need_cache_sync_on_prepare and ->need_cache_sync_on_finish when we initialize vb2 buffer. Currently these flags are set/adjusted only in V4L2's vb2_queue_or_prepare_buf(), which means that for the code paths that don't use V4L2 vb2 will always tell videobuf2 core to skip ->prepare() and ->finish() cache syncs/flushes. This is a quick solution that should do the trick. The proper fix, however, is much more complicated and requires a rather big videobuf2 refactoring - we need to move cache sync/flush decision making out of core videobuf2 to the allocators.
