[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avcodec/mediacodecdec: fix SEGV on modern nvidia decoders

[Aman Gupta]

From: Aman Gupta <aman at tmm1.net>

This code came originally from gstreamer, where it was added in [1]
as a work-around for the Tegra 3. (The alignment was changed in [2]
as a response to [3], from 32-bit to 16-bit).

gstreamer only used this workaround in the case where the decoder
didn't return a slice-height property, but when the code was copied
into avcodec the conditional got lost. This commit restores the guard
and prefers the slice-height from the decoder when it is available.

This fixes segfaults decoding 1920x1080 h264 and mpeg2 videos on the
NVidia SHIELD after upgrading to Android Oreo.
