Hi NVIDIA experts.
We have encountered some tricky issues.

We use the nvsipl::INvSIPLClient::INvMCallback method to receive the camera stream in driveos 5.2.0. This callback function is expected to be scheduled every 33ms (camera in 30FPS). In the vast majority of cases, callback functions can be scheduled for execution timely.

However, we occasionally encounter situations where callback functions are not scheduled for over a hundred milliseconds. For example, the nvmedia image timestamp is at the time point 1000ms, the callback function with this image is schedule at time point 1200ms.
We currently have no way to reproduce this problem. The cpu usage of the process is not high (abort 30%-40%).

May I ask if NVIDIA has encountered similar problems before and how did you solve them? Can you provide some methods and tools to further locate the problem?

Thanks!!

Have you encountered this issue while using any sample applications, and do you have access to any relevant logs? Based on our records, we haven’t come across this particular issue. Also, we recommend upgrading to the latest version (5.2.6) to see if the issue persists.

Thanks @VickNV .
We could not reproduce this problem in sample case, and it is very difficult for us to upgrade 5.2.6.
I would like to ask how this INvMCallback callback is triggered in the framework of nvsipl? Will it be based on soft irqs? When the driver receive the image, how does it notify nvsipl’s callback to execute it?

Thanks.
