do_poll()/do_select() seem to set the _qproc member of poll_table to NULL the first time they are called on a given table, making subsequent calls of poll_wait() on that table no-ops. This is a problem for mem2mem which calls poll_wait() on the V4L2 queues' waitqueues only when a queue-related event is requested, which may not necessarily be the case during the first poll. For instance, a stateful decoder is typically only interested in EPOLLPRI events when it starts, and will switch to listening to both EPOLLPRI and EPOLLIN after receiving the initial resolution change event and configuring the CAPTURE queue. However by the time that switch happens and v4l2_m2m_poll_for_data() is called for the first time, poll_wait() has become a no-op and the V4L2 queues waitqueues thus cannot be registered. Fix this by moving the registration to v4l2_m2m_poll() and do it whether or not one of the queue-related events are requested. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <gnurou@xxxxxxxxx> --- I seem to be hitting all the polling corner cases recently! ^_^; This time I was wondering why epoll_wait() never returned after I received the first resolution change event from the vicodec stateful decoder.
