This driver is currently specifying a video_device lock, which means it is protecting all the ioctls (including queue ioctls) with a single mutex. It's therefore straightforward to implement wait_prepare and wait_finish, by explicitly setting the vb2_queue lock. Having these callbacks releases the queue lock while blocking, which improves latency by allowing for example streamoff or qbuf operations while waiting in dqbuf.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
