Sorry, I should've mentioned: I'm using your media-0005-omap3isp branch
based on 2.6.38-rc5. I didn't have the problem with 2.6.37, either.
It's actually not related to mis-configuring the ISP pipeline like I
thought at first- it also happens after I have successfully captured images.
I've since tracked down the problem, although I don't understand the
cache management well enough to be sure it's a proper fix, so hopefully
some new recipients on this can make suggestions/comments.
The patch below solves the problem, which modifies a commit by Fernando
Guzman Lugo from December.
