Hi! 1. user does select() to wait for a frame to be ready. 2. select polls until it finds a frame that's done and return POLLIN 3. interrupt handler goes and unmark that frame as ready and start capturing a new frame into that same buffer. 4. user does VIDIOC_DQBUF ioctl which fails because that buffer is not ready anymore.
There's no way with the current API to avoid above scenario unless the
driver already dequeues the buffer in select() and then just confirms it in
the DQBUF ioctl. (Or if VIDIOC_DQBUF blocked).
How am I supposed to avoid the race without resorting to the methods
mentioned above?
