Thanks for the report.

Sorry, Hans, do you suggest to have something like this:

	if (q->memory == VB2_MEMORY_DMABUF) {
		vb->need_cache_sync_on_finish = 0;
		vb->need_cache_sync_on_prepare = 0;
		b->flags &= ~V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE;
		b->flags &= ~V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN;
		return;
	}

I didn't clear the ->flags there because we clear the vb flush/sync
flags: ->need_cache_sync_on_finish/prepare are zeros for DMABUF memory
type. Which is equivalent to passing V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN. IOW we would clearing both "vb's do cache
sync" and request's "do not cache sync".

Thanks!
