[PATCH v4] media: ti: cal: drain WDMA IRQ before freeing contexts

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 14:07:22 EST


cal_remove() unregisters the video devices but does not release their vb2
queues. An active stream can therefore keep WDMA IRQs enabled while the
contexts are freed. The managed IRQ is released only after .remove()
returns, so a handler already in flight can access a freed context through
cal->ctx[i].

Use vb2_video_unregister_device() to release each queue and stop any active
stream while the IRQ is still available for DMA stop completion. Then
release the managed IRQ explicitly before destroying the contexts, which
synchronizes any in-flight handler before the context memory is freed.
Drain the IRQ on the probe error path before destroying partially created
contexts too.

Changes in v4:
- Rebase onto the latest media-committers next branch.
- Rewrap devm_request_irq() to stay within 80 columns; no functional changes.
- Compile-test the CAL driver with x86_64 COMPILE_TEST and W=1.

Changes in v3:
- Resend the unchanged patch with intact diff headers.

Changes in v2:
- Rebuilt the mail-ready message; no code changes.
