i dont think i fully understand the problem you are trying to fix but this patch looks like it writes into the users context without any lock while the user can access it. Thats looks like a race condition unless iam missing something What is very noticable though is that you seem to talk about vp9 why is this vp9 specific and does not affect other codecs ? thanks [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB The real ebay dictionary, page 2 "100% positive feedback" - "All either got their money back or didnt complain" "Best seller ever, very honest" - "Seller refunded buyer after failed scam"
