Using devm_*alloc can be dangerous. If someone unbinds the
driver, then
all memory allocated with devm_ is immediately freed. But if an
application
still has a filehandle open, then when it closes it it might still
reference
this already-freed memory.
I recommend that you avoid using devm_*alloc for media drivers.
A good test is to unbind & bind the driver:
cd /sys/devices/platform/50000000.host1x/54080000.vi/driver
echo -n 54080000.vi >unbind
echo -n 54080000.vi >bind
First just do this without the driver being used. That already
gives me 'list_del corruption' kernel messages (list debugging
is turned on in my kernel).
Will fix in v4 to use kzalloc and also proper release v4l2 to make
sure
unbind/bind works properly.
BTW, tegra vi and csi are registered as clients to host1x video
driver.
So, unbind and bind should be done with host1x video driver
"tegra-video"
cd /sys/devices/platform/50000000.host1x/tegra-video/driver
echo -n tegra-video > unbind
echo -n tegra-video > bind
This still crashes with v4, at least if I am streaming with v4l2-ctl
--stream-mmap.
Is that known?
It's not a big deal at this moment, just want to know if this will
be looked
at later.

Weird, I tested streaming after unbind and bind as well and don't see
crash. Did below steps and tried several times unbind/bind as well.
./v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 -d /dev/video3
cd /sys/devices/platform/50000000.host1x/tegra-video/driver
echo -n tegra-video > unbind
sleep 1
echo -n tegra-video > bind
cd /home/ubuntu
./v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 -d /dev/video3
Can you post call trace when you saw crash?
Tried unbind when node is open with v4l2-ctl --sleep 10 as well and
bind back.
I don't see crash. Will confirm on doing unbind/bind with stream-mmap...
Able to repro when unbind/bind happens while stream-mmap.
That's indeed what I did. I don't want to try it again since I'm working from home
and the Jetson is in the office. And once it crashes I need someone in the office
to press the reset button. I hope I can pick it up next week to keep it at home as
that will make testing a lot easier.
Hi Hans, no problem. I repro'd and fixed it. Will include the fix in v5.
Tested fix to make sure of no crash with unbind/bind during sleep and
also during streaming.
during sleep, after specified time it shows below info but no crash.
Test VIDIOC_QUERYCAP:
VIDIOC_QUERYCAP returned -1 (No such device)
VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: No such device
Thanks
Sowjanya
Will look and have fix in v5.
Nice!
Thank you,
Hans
Thanks Hans.
Note that this first test is basically identical to a rmmod/modprobe
of the driver. But when I compiled the driver as a module it didn't
create any video device nodes! Nor did I see any errors in the
kernel
log. I didn't pursue this, and perhaps I did something wrong, but
it's
worth taking a look at.
The next step would be to have a video node open with:
v4l2-ctl --sleep 10
then while it is sleeping unbind the driver and see what happens
when v4l2-ctl exits.
Worst case is when you are streaming:
v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap
and then unbind.
In general, the best way to get this to work correctly is:
1) don't use devm_*alloc
2) set the release callback of struct v4l2_device and do all freeing
there.
3) in the platform remove() callback you call
media_device_unregister()
and video_unregister_device().
Reg 3, in current patch, media_device_unregister is called in
host1x_video_remove
video_unregister_device happens during host1x_video_remove ->
host1x_device_exit -> tegra_vi_exit -> tegra_vi_channels_cleanup
It's worth getting this right in this early stage, rather than
fixing it
in the future.

Hans
