avformat/aviobuf: discard part of the IO buffer in ffio_ensure_seekba…
…ck if needed Previously ffio_ensure_seekback never flushed the buffer, so successive ffio_ensure_seekback calls were all respected. This could eventually cause unlimited memory and CPU usage if a demuxer called ffio_ensure_seekback on all it's read data. Most demuxers however only rely on being able to seek back till the position of the last ffio_ensure_seekback call, therefore we change the semantics of ffio_ensure_seekback so that a new call can invalidate seek guarantees of the old. In order to support some level of "nested" ffio_ensure_seekback calls, we document that the function only invalidates the old window (and potentially discards the already read data from the IO buffer), if the newly requested window does not fit into the old one. This way we limit the memory usage for ffio_ensure_seekback calls requesting consecutive data windows. Signed-off-by: Marton Balint <[email protected]>
