[PATCH v2] media: qcom: camss: vfe: Clear active buffer pointers after flushing
From: Loic Poulain
Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 05:48:14 EST
vfe_flush_buffers() returns all active buffers to vb2 but it leaves
output->buf[0] and output->buf[1] pointing to the completed buffers
despite the lost of ownership.
This can lead to subsequent flush or completion paths operating on
stale state and potentially completing the same buffer more than once.
Clear the buffer pointers explicitly.
Note: vfe_enable_output_v2 is supposed to overwrite those pointers with
pending buffers when streaming is restarted, but nothing guarantees that
enough pending buffers will be available to overwrite all entries.
