If streamon/streamoff calls are imbalanced, such as exit application with Ctrl+C when streaming, m2m usage_count will never reach to zero and ISI channel won't be freed. Besides from that, if the input line width is more 2K and exit with Ctrl+C when streaming, it will trigger kernel panic, like bellow:

Hi Guoniu,
Thank you for the patch.

Stopping streaming is supposed to be handled by the v4l2_m2m_ctx_release() function, which calls vb2_queue_release() for both queues. This doesn't work today because mxc_isi_m2m_streamon() and mxc_isi_m2m_streamoff() perform extra operations before calling v4l2_m2m_ioctl_streamon() and v4l2_m2m_ioctl_streamoff(). I think moving that code to the .prepare_streaming() and .unprepare_streaming() operations would be best, as done in https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250813212451.22140-2-laurent.pinchart@ideasonboa... for the non-M2M case.
I'm testing a patch and I will send it out.
v4l2_m2m_ctx_release(ctx->fh.m2m_ctx); mxc_isi_m2m_ctx_ctrls_delete(ctx);
