-------------------- Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Fixed _dfb_windowstack_inputdevice_listener race condition with layer context
Fixed a race condition when _dfb_windowstack_inputdevice_listener begins using a layer context, that is then destroyed before the listener has finished using it. This problem occurs because the layer context's reference count was never incremented to account for the listener's reference to it that it stored and subsequently used. Rather than establishing a reference count cycle (with the window stack having a reference to the layer context which has a reference to the window stack for which additional complexity would be needed to break), the listener now just increments the layer context's reference count prior to usage and then decrements it. -------------------- Cheers, Timothy -- Timothy Strelchun CE Software Engineering Digital Home Group Intel Corporation
