Hmm... That's a great catch. Thanks for spotting this.
Puzzled, how come I've never seen problems.

I fully understand your concerns. Give me a moment to figure
out what's going on...


OK.

Apparently, the user-space I'm using for tests, utilizes different
call path. vb2_core_create_bufs() is never even invoked. Hence queue
consistency vs. request consistency checks are not performed.

What happens, instead, is v4l_reqbufs()->vb2_core_reqbufs() path.
It orphans existing buffers (if any), sets queue memory model, sets
queue consistency model (DMA attr), then allocates buffers.

On my test environment, I see that vb2_core_reqbufs() orphans the
buffers, but it's always due to "*count == 0 || q->num_buffers != 0"
conditions. The user-space I'm using does not twist queue ->memory
or consistency attr, so the tests I'm running are limited in scenarios.

verify_consistency_attr() is not on the list of reasons to orphan
allocated buffer. It probably should be, tho.

OK, will do.

This comes from the original code. There are 'unsigned'-s in the
existing code, I saw it and didn't want to modify, in order to keep
diffstats shorter.
