Hi Eugeniu, Yeouch. Looks like I really missed a trick there! We should probably update the $SUBJECT to match what is performed in the patch, which is perhaps more like: "media: vsp1: dl: Store VSP reference when creating cmd pools" On 23/05/2020 09:13, Eugeniu Rosca wrote: And then we can explain here: In commit f3b98e3c4d2e16 ("media: vsp1: Provide support for extended command pools"), the vsp pointer used for referencing the VSP1 device structure from a command pool during vsp1_dl_ext_cmd_pool_destroy() was not populated.

Yes, now I wish I had done so back at 4.19! I hope this wasn't too painful to diagnose and fix, and thank you for being so thorough in your report! > Locally, below command has been used to identify the problem: > > for f in $(find /sys/bus/platform/devices/ -name "*vsp*" -o -name "*fdp*"); do \ > b=$(basename $f); \ > echo $b > $f/driver/unbind; \ > done > I've created a test to add to vsp-tests, which I'll post next, thank you for the suggestion. Before your patch is applied, I experience the same crash you have seen, and after your patch - I can successfully unbind/bind all of the VSP1 instances. So I think you can have this too: Tested-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/media/platform/vsp1/vsp1_dl.c | 2 ++ > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/media/platform/vsp1/vsp1_dl.c b/drivers/media/platform/vsp1/vsp1_dl.c > index d7b43037e500..e07b135613eb 100644 > --- a/drivers/media/platform/vsp1/vsp1_dl.c > +++ b/drivers/media/platform/vsp1/vsp1_dl.c > @@ -431,6 +431,8 @@ vsp1_dl_cmd_pool_create(struct vsp1_device *vsp1, enum vsp1_extcmd_type type, > if (!pool) > return NULL; > > + pool->vsp1 = vsp1; > + > spin_lock_init(&pool->lock); > INIT_LIST_HEAD(&pool->free); > >
