Yes, v4l2_m2m_cancel_job waits for m2m_ctx->job_flags to be  ~TRANS_RUNNING,
the mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work will finally invoke v4l2_m2m_job_finish
to trigger that.

However, this is not the only path to call v4l2_m2m_job_finish. Here
is a invoking chain:
v4l_streamon
  ->v4l2_m2m_ioctl_streamon
    ->v4l2_m2m_streamon
      ->v4l2_m2m_try_schedule
        ->v4l2_m2m_try_run
          ->mtk_jpeg_dec_device_run
            ->schedule_delayed_work(&jpeg->job_timeout_work...
            ->error path goto dec_end
            ->v4l2_m2m_job_finish

In some specific situation, it starts the worker and also calls
v4l2_m2m_job_finish, which might
make v4l2_m2m_cancel_job continues.

It will, but as I said, there might be an early invocation chain to
start the work.(Not very sure)

Yes, it's better to use cancel_delayed_work_sync here.
