Subject: [PATCH] media: amphion: Stop mailbox RX before freeing the message buffer
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 01:19:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923051950.89403-1-mhun512@gmail.com> (raw)
vpu_core_unregister() frees core->msg_buffer and clears core->vpu
before cancelling the message workers. The fifo keeps its own pointer
to that buffer. The core workers read it and queue inst->msg_work,
which uses core->vpu and may send on TX.
vpu_isr() fills the fifo from the mailbox RX callback. i.MX MU
free_irq() waits for that callback, not for the queued work. An open
instance holds a runtime-PM reference, so remove can skip runtime
suspend and leave RX active.
Stop RX, then drain the core workers and the instance workers they
queued with vpu_core_cancel_work(), while core->vpu and TX are still
valid. Free the buffer and clear core->vpu after that drain. Drop
the runtime reference only then: runtime suspend frees every channel.
Fixes: 9f599f351e86 ("media: amphion: add vpu core driver")
