The watchdog needs to be scheduled before we trigger the decode operation, otherwise there is a risk that the decoder IRQ will be called before we have schedule the watchdog. As a side effect, the watchdog would never be cancelled and its function would be called at an inappropriate time. This was observed while running Fluster with GStreamer as a backend. Some programming error would cause the decoder IRQ to be call very quickly after the trigger. Later calls into the driver would deadlock due to the unbalanced state.

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.
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.
