There is no need to add lock in s_ctrl callback, it has been
synchronized by the ctrl_handler's lock, otherwise it may led to
deadlock if driver call v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl().

I assume that PATCH v2 2/3 might cause the said deadlock to happen?
If so, maybe it would make more sense to make the current patch preceed
  PATCH v2 2/3? Otherwise the kernel at PATCH v2 2/3 introduces a potential
deadlock.

Andrzej

I actually discovered this problem when I was preparing the v2 2/3 patch.

But in the v2 2/3 patch, it tried to add a read-only ctrl, then I just
unset the s_ctrl callback for the new added ctrl, the potential deadlock
is caused by call the s_ctrl back in a locked environment, so after unset
the s_ctrl callback, the 2/3 patch won't trigger the deadlock even if
this patch is missing.

In order to avoid encountering similar problems in the future, that
driver may set or get some ctrl, I added this patch.

Best regards,
Ming

Do I understand you correctly that patch 2/3 is written in such a way that
it does not introduce a deadlock, and you add patch 3/3 only to prevent future
problems? If so, it seems to me that patch 3/3 could/should be separate from
this series, as it does not quite match "Add average qp control".

Andrzej

You're right, when I prepare the 2/3 patch, I add the new ctrl just like
the previous ctrl, but I got a deadlock. then I tried to fix a deadlock
in 2/3 patch first, and make this patch again to avoid similar errors.

I put this patch to this series, as I think this better explains why I
made this change.

Ming
