[PATCH 1/3] venus: core: handle race condititon for core ops

From: Mansur Alisha Shaik
Date: Thu Aug 06 2020 - 14:00:41 EST


For core ops we are having only write protect but
there is no read protect, because of this in mult
-threading and concurrency, one CPU core is readi
-ing without waiting which is causing the NULL
pointer dereferece crash.

one such scenario is as show below, where in one
core core->ops becoming NULL and in another core
calling core->ops->session_init().

CPU: 7(core):
Call trace:
hfi_session_init+0x180/0x1dc [venus_core]
vdec_queue_setup+0x9c/0x364 [venus_dec]
vb2_core_reqbufs+0x1e4/0x368 [videobuf2_common]

v4l_reqbufs+0x4c/0x5c
__video_do_ioctl+0x2b0/0x39c

CPU: 0(core):
Call trace:
venus_shutdown+0x98/0xfc [venus_core]

process_one_work+0x210/0x3d0
