[PATCH 2/3] media: meson: vdec: fix another case of VP9 buffer shortage

From: Neil Armstrong
Date: Tue Apr 28 2020 - 08:50:52 EST


From: Maxime Jourdan <mjourdan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

- Redo the logic where VP9 gets fresh CAPTURE buffers. The previous code
could lead to a hardlock.
- Reserve 4 margin buffers instead of 3, as apparently there are corner
cases where 3 is not enough.

Fixes: e9a3eb4819ca ("media: meson: vdec: add VP9 input support")
Fixes: 00c43088aa68 ("media: meson: vdec: add VP9 decoder support")
