We need a combination of two factors in order to permit modification of queue's memory consistency attribute in set_queue_consistency(): (1) queue should allow user-space cache hints (2) queue should be used for MMAP-ed I/O
Therefore the code in videobuf2 core looks as follows: q->memory = req->memory; set_queue_consistency(q, consistent); This works when we do something like this (suppose that queue allows cache hints) reqbufs.memory = V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF; reqbufs.flags = 0; doioctl(node, VIDIOC_REQBUFS, &reqbufs); reqbufs.memory = V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP; reqbufs.flags = V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT; doioctl(node, VIDIOC_REQBUFS, &reqbufs); However, this doesn't work the other way around reqbufs.memory = V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP; reqbufs.flags = V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT; doioctl(node, VIDIOC_REQBUFS, &reqbufs); reqbufs.memory = V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF; reqbufs.flags = 0; doioctl(node, VIDIOC_REQBUFS, &reqbufs); because __vb2_queue_free() doesn't clear queue's ->dma_attrs once its don't freeing queue buffers, and by the time we call set_queue_consistency() the queue is DMABUF so (2) is false and we never clear the stale consistency attribute. Re-implement set_queue_consistency() - it must always clear queue's non-consistency attr and set it only if (1) and (2).
