[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 01/14] avcodec/ffv1dec: Remove redundant writes, fix races

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Every modification of the data that is copied in update_thread_context()
is a data race if it happens after ff_thread_finish_setup. ffv1dec's
update_thread_context() simply uses memcpy for updating the new context,
so that every modification of the src's context is a race.
Some of these modifications are unnecessary: picture_number is write-only
for the decoder and cur will be reset when decoding the next frame anyway.
So remove them. And while just at it, also don't set cur for the slice
contexts as this variable is write-only.

Weirdly ubitux's TSAN fate-box (which uses frame threading by default)
does not show any failing FFV1 tests; although (Clang-)TSAN does it
for me and it is totally obvious that these are data races.
