This will result in an endless loop, I suppose it wasn't the
intention.
no it will not. on error we report vb2_queue_error which will do
streaming stop request.
So thread will be stopped on streaming stop request thru kthread
stop
signal
To be clear on error it reports vb2 queue error and waits for stop
streaming to happen
If thread should exit on error, then it should do it on the actual
error. Otherwise it looks very error-prone.
When v4l2 drivers indicate fatal error through vb2_queue_error, queue
error flag is set and wakes up all processes waiting on queue along
with polling reporting EPOLLERR and also reporting error for queuing
and dequeuing buffers. Stream stop will surely happen which stops the
thread.
This doesn't explain what is the point of continuing to loop instead of
exiting immediately on error.
We are using 2 threads and when capture start error happens, we can
stop capture_start thread immediately but capture_finish thread will
still run for any outstanding buffers.
So, as it makes no diff stopping both threads during stream stop which
will definitely happen on error and when we don't dequeue buffers
Also there will be an issue if we break on error immediately during
stop_streaming -> kthread_stop()
As stop streaming can happen any time, we do kthread_stop and in case of
error if we stop thread and on stop streaming kthread_stop might crash
as kthread_stop can only be called on running thread
