The current encoder will hang when EOS comes. When we call the
gst_vaapi_encoder_encode_and_queue(), we should release the stream
lock, just like what we do in gst_vaapiencode_handle_frame().
The deadlock happens when: The input thread holding the stream lock
is using gst_vaapi_encoder_create_coded_buffer() to acquire a coded
buffer, while the output thread which holding the coded buffer resource
is acquiring the stream lock in _push_frame() to push the data to
down stream element.

FEI encoders are not actively mantained neither tested, and it is
using infrastructure that is changing and FEI is stopping this
effort.
Also it is required to rethink how FEI can be used in GStreamer.
The current get_profile just return one possible profile for the encode,
which is not enough. For example, if we want to support HEVC 4:4:4
profile, the input of encode should be VYUA rather than NV12 in HEVC
main profile. So the command line:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! fakesink
can not work because vaapih265enc just report NV12 in sink caps, we need
to specify the profile obviously like:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! capsfilter caps=video/x-h265, \
profile=main-444 ! fakesink
The encode should have the ability to choose the profile based on input
format automatically. If the input video format is VUYA, the main-444
profile should be auto choosed.
We modify to let get_allowed_profiles of each encode sub class to return
an array of all supported profiles based on downstream's allowed caps, or
return NULL if no valid profiles specified by downstream.
If no allowed profiles found, all profiles which belong to the current
encoder's codec will be the candidates.
The function gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_attributes collects the surface's
attributes for that profile list we just get.
So for this case, both NV12 and VUYA should be returned.
TODO: some codec like VP9, need to implement the get_profile() function.
We can get all the information about the video format at one shot
when we create the test context for getting the supported formats.
The current way to get the width and height ranges are inefficient,
since it calls the function gst_vaapi_profile_caps_append_encoder()
and it creates another temporal context to detect the resolution
information.

We now set encode->allowed_sinkpad_caps to NULL if we fail to get
surfaces formats. This causes two problem:
1. gst_video_encoder_proxy_getcaps use NULL as its caps parameter,
which changes its behavior. It will use encode's sinkpad template
rather than empty caps to do the clip job. So even if we fail to set
allowed_sinkpad_caps, gst_video_encoder_proxy_getcaps can still return
valid caps.
2. We should just set the allowed_sinkpad_caps once. The NULL point
make the ensure_allowed_sinkpad_caps function works again and again.
This patch makes use of GST_PARAM_USER_SHIFT to define the internal
param in encoders to decide which parameters to expose. Thus
gstreamer-vaapi will not interfere with any change in GStreamer in the
future.
Also, the internal symbol was change to
GST_VAAPI_PARAM_ENCODER_EXPOSURE to keep the namespacing.
The encoder is a true gstobject now and all the properties are using
gobject's properties mechanism. Add help functions to handle the properties
between encode and encoder class.
The basic idea is mapping the same property between encoder and encode. All
the encoder's properties will have the same name, the same type in encode.
The set/get property function just forward the property setting/getting to
the encoder using the same property name and value. Because the encoder is
created on needed, we need to cache the property setting in encode.
This code doesn't define the profile used by the internal encoder, but
it used to "predict" which is going to be used and to get the caps
restrictions.
Before the profile was predicted by checking the donwstream caps, but
sometimes they are not defined, setting an unknown profile. In order
to enhances this situation, the encoder asks to internal encoder if it
has one. If so, it is used.
To ask the internal encoder's profile a new accessor function was
added: gst_vaapi_encoder_get_profile()
This fixes a deadlock in gst_vaapiencode_change_state, which was due to
srcpad's chain function was locked waiting for available buffers. Since the
coded buffers in codedbuf_queue become available after sinkpad consume the
encoded frames, Paused -> Ready state change leads to deadlock. Coded buffers
are never consumed and marked free, hence gst_vaapiencode_handle_frame waits for
available buffers and holds the stream_lock of the srcpad.
The vaapi internal encoder's property id are negative, thus they are
different from GObject's property ids.
gst_vaapi_encoder_set_property() should map to the internal encoder
property id, assigned in gst_vaapiencode_default_set_property().
Tis patch, allows some properties that we want to be set on
runtime. (eg. bitrate)
Note that all properties are under control by num_codedbuf_queued.

This new virtual method, get_profile(), if implemented by specific
encoders, will return the VA profile potentially determined by the
source caps.
Also it is implemented by h264 and h265 encoders, which are the main
users of this vmethod.

In order to get the supported surface formats within a specific
profile this patch adds the GstVaapiProfile as property to
gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_formats().
Currently the extracted formats are only those related with the
default profile of the element's codec.

As in gstreamer-vaapi a common base class is used, the specific
default category is passed to the base-plugin initializator, thus
the log messages are categorized with the used plugin.
Nonetheless, when the gst-debug is disabled in compilation time,
it is needed to pass NULL to the base-plugin initializator. This
patch does that.

As the internal encoder is created at start(), let's release it at
stop() vmethod, to be consistent.
gst_vaapiencode_destroy() is called since it also resets the input and
output states, which is something that the base class does internally
after calling stop() vmethod.

Currently, specific encoder is created during set_format(). This might
lead to race condition when creating profiles with multiple encoders.
This patch moves ensure_encoder() call to start() vmethod to ensure
avoiding the race condition.

In order to handle correctly seek and other operations, vaapiencode should
flush all the remaining data from the encoder without pushing it downstream.
This patch implements the flush() vmethod, only after of pausing the
source pad task, and restarting it again after the flush stop.

In bug 757598 was added the set_context() vmethod chain up in
GstVaapiPluginBase. But it is buggy, since the parent_class address is
assigned to the last element which called gst_vaapi_plugin_base_class_init().
No error has shown up since none of the element's base classes redefined
set_context() vmethod from GstElement, so always the correct function was
called. Still this code is wrong and this patch make it right.
Since set_context() is the same code, a macro is used to implement that code
in all the gst-vaapi elements.

GstVideoEncoder, the base class of vaapiencode, added support for pad queries
as virtual methods since gstreamer 1.4. This patch enables those vmethods,
while keeps support for previous versions of gstreamer.
This patch is relevant since GstVideoEncoder takes care of other queries that
we are currently ignoring.

The current context query handling design is flawed: the function
gst_vaapi_reply_to_query() returns FALSE either if the query is not a
GST_CONTEXT_QUERY of if the query could not be handled correctly. But the
pad query function should handle differently each case.
This patch changes the gst_vaapi_reply_to_query() for
gst_vaapi_handle_context_query() and changes it usage in all the vaapi plugins
to match the correct context query handling.

The purpose of gstcompat.h is to couple the API differences among
gstreamer-1.0 and gstreamer-0.10. Since gstreamer-0.10 is obsolete, the code
in this compatibility layer shall be removed.
Nevertheless, the gstcompat.h header should be kept, if new incompatibilites
appear in the future, but it shall live in gst/vaapi, not in gst-libs.
This patch removes the crumbs defined gstcompat.h and moves it to gst/vaapi.
In order to avoid layer violations, gstcompat.h includes sysdeps.h and all
the includes in gst/vaapi of sysdeps.h are replaced with gstcompat.h
