At the heart of the problem is that when request \nprocessing was moved from the camera to the main thread subtle races in \nthe cam event loop implementation where exposed.\n\nThe races are easily trigged by having callbacks injected into the even \nloop that takes a long time to process. The only callbacks cam currently \ninjects to the event loop are processing of completed requests. So by \nincreasing there processing time by writing them to disk the races where \ntrigged.\n\nThis series fixes two different issues found when debugging this. Patch \n1/2 solves a design issue in the event loop implementation where the \ncallback queue can be flooded which prevents termination of the loop. \nWhile patch 2/2 solves a cam design issue where the --capture=N behavior \nof only capturing N requests where broken but hidden by the problem in\npatch 1/2.\n\nNiklas Söderlund (2):\n cam: event_loop: Stop queuing calls when the event loop are exiting\n cam: Fix capturing an precis number of requests\n\n src/cam/capture.cpp | 12 ++++++------\n src/cam/event_loop.cpp | 2 +-\n 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)"}
