In dynamic bufmode we do not manage the buffers in the registeredbufs
list, so do not add them there when they are initialized. Adding them
there was causing a use after free of the list_head struct in the buffer
when new buffers were allocated after existing buffers were freed.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the patch!

Is this fixing a real issue? How you come to it?

If you add !is_dynamic_bufmode here, we will loose the reference frames
mechanism (see venus_helper_release_buf_ref()) which is not good.

Thus, I wonder (depending on when you observe the use-after-free issue)
does this is the correct resolution of the problem.

In our code we were allocating 64x64 capture queue buffers initially,
then got a resolution change event for the actual video resolution of
320x256 so we freed all the existing capture buffers and allocated new
ones. I had noticed memory poisoning warnings in dmesg and tracked it
down to the patch I created here. This is only a problem when the
capture queue has its buffers freed and reallocated (which would
happen during any resolution change).

In my testing, I never see venus_helper_release_buf_ref called.  I
think something is wrong with reference frame management. I'm also
seeing failure in my tests that very much look like reference frames
that were dropped in the decoder (with or without my patch); but they
are not consistent.

I agree this is likely not the right solution to the problem, there's
something deeper that's wrong I think because I never see events
coming back from hfi with the release buffer reference event.

Do you call STREAMOFF(CAPTURE) ?

Better, could you share v4l2 debug logs:

echo 0x3f > /sys/class/video4linux/videoX/dev_debug

The mechanism is valid for Venus v1 and v3, might be you tried on v4
where we have a set of DPB buffers and use them for reference frames.

Yes, we call STREAMOFF before we destroy the existing buffers and
allocate new ones.

I'll email you these off list since they are rather large.

We are using V4.
