Hi Hans, I have been able to reproduce the issue with the stateless part of the mtk-vcodec decoder driver (not merged as of today), which shows the exact same crash. With your patch applied I got the following output right before the crash, when decoding H.264 or VP9: H.264: [ 549.264784] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete 990a6b H264 Profile [ 976.630017] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete 980001 User Controls [ 125.152149] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete 980001 User Controls [ 330.049192] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete 990001 Codec Controls VP9: [ 215.945812] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete 990a6b H264 Profile [ 428.564501] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete 990a6b H264 Profile [ 830.970340] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete 990b00 VP9 Profile The other pr_info() in your patch was never seen. Interestingly these controls are not set by requests, and are not even supposed to be set on a decoder. I am not quite sure where this could come from... Cheers, Alex.
