[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3] avcodec/v4l2_m2m_dec: Remove redundant packet and fix double free

[Andriy Gelman]

From: Andriy Gelman <andriy.gelman at gmail.com>

v4l2_receive_frame() uses two packets s->buf_pkt and avpkt. If avpkt
cannot be enqueued, the packet is buffered in s->buf_pkt and enqueued in
the next call. Currently the ownership transfer between the two packets
is not properly handled. A double free occurs if
ff_v4l2_context_enqueue_packet() returns EAGAIN and v4l2_try_start
returns EINVAL.

In fact, having two AVPackets is not needed and everything can be
handled by s->buf_pkt.

This commit removes the local avpkt from v4l2_receive_frame(), meaning
that the ownership transfer doesn't need to be handled and the double
free is fixed.

Sorry, forgot to squash the commit from v1 so v2 didn't apply. This is correct version.
