[PATCH v2 2/2] media: venus: disable recovery work before HFI teardown

From: mhun512

Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 14:47:42 EST


venus_remove() cancels core->work before the IRQ is disabled. An IRQ
thread can queue the work again after cancellation. The work can then
access HFI state after venus_hfi_destroy() frees it. The work also
requeues itself when recovery fails, so cancelling an already running
instance alone does not close the race.

Disable and drain the work at the start of remove, before other resources
are dismantled. Do the same in venus_hfi_destroy() for paths that bypass
remove, including probe unwind. Disabling the work prevents both IRQ
handlers and the work itself from requeuing it. Drain the work before
disabling the IRQ so an active recovery can finish any IRQ based
completion waits. Then synchronize the IRQ before freeing HFI state.

helper functions")
