Could you provide more details about that case? Shouldn't it be fixed instead?

It's a bit weird to me, because __vb2_queue_free() is supposed to
decrement q->num_buffers by the number of buffers freed and it's
called with vb2_get_num_buffers() just one line above.

Yes, I think now it matches the original meaning. Thanks.
