[PATCH] videobuf2-core: modify the num of users

[Hans Verkuil]

Hi,

I've got a few questions:

Why do think this is wrong? When the buffer is allocated the refcount is set to 1,
so anyone mapping that buffer will increase the refcount making it 'in use'.

Seems perfectly OK to me.

So if your patch solves a problem for you, then I'd like to know what that problem
is. You might be solving it in the wrong place.

And even if there was a bug, then your patch is incomplete because you didn't update
the comment.
