[PATCH] videobuf2/vb2_buffer_done: Changing the position of spinlock to protect only the required code
From: Satendra Singh Thakur
Date: Fri Jul 27 2018 - 04:21:56 EST
1.Currently, in the func vb2_buffer_done, spinlock protects
following code
vb->state = VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED;
list_add_tail(&vb->done_entry, &q->done_list);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&q->done_lock, flags);
vb->state = state;
atomic_dec(&q->owned_by_drv_count);
2.The spinlock is mainly needed to protect list related ops and
vb->state = STATE_ERROR or STATE_DONE as in other funcs
vb2_discard_done
__vb2_get_done_vb
vb2_core_poll.
3. Therefore, spinlock is mainly needed for
list_add, list_del, list_first_entry ops
and state = STATE_DONE and STATE_ERROR to protect
done_list queue.
3. Hence, state = STATE_QUEUED doesn't need spinlock protection.
4. Also atomic_dec dones't require the same as its already atomic.
