[RFC PATCH 0/2] [media] vb2: defer part of vb2_buffer_done() and move dma-buf unmap from DQBUF

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Hello,

This patch series attempt to do the dma-buf unmap as soon as possible, once
the driver has finished using the buffer. Instead of waiting until DQBUF to
do the unmap.

Patch #1 splits vb2_buffer_done() and moves part of its logic to a workqueue
to avoid calling the vb2 .finish mem ops. Since doing a buffer sync can take
a lot of time so isn't suitable for interrupt context. This was suggested by
Hans Verkuil on a previous patch [0].

Patch #2 then moves the dma-buf unmap out of DQBUF to vb2_done_work() now that
this is executed in process context since the dmabuf unmap operation can sleep.

Best regards,
Javier
