The bug fixing, in commit 89f202ea, just considers the case when
surface's DMABuf is set through gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer(),
which is typically a decoder's behavior. But vaapipostproc doesn't
provide any surface when calling gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer(),
thus a surface is created when GstMemory is allocated.
If the surface proxy in buffer's meta is reset at
buffer_pool_reset_buffer(), that surface will be destroyed and it
won't be available anymore. But GstBuffers are cached in the buffer
pool and they are reused again, hence only those images are rendered
repeatedly.
Fixes: #232
Some code can be optimized since only if the dmabuf allocator is set,
the internal flag of dmabuf is TRUE, thus there's no need to evaluate
the allocator address.
If the requested allocator in set_config() is not a VAAPI valid one,
reject the configuration, instead of lying and using a private one.
This patch superseeds !254 and !24
set_config() vmethod should fail gracefully, thus upstream could
negotiate another pool if possible.
Instead of sending error messages to the bus, let demote the level
to warning.
Instead of creating a new allocator when upstream requests a different
allocator, this patch tries to reuse the internal allocator if it was
already initializated.
If the stream changes, then either one will be unref and a new
allocator is created.
Validate if the meta returned by gst_buffer_get_vaapi_video_meta() in
the acquired buffer is not null.
This situation should be very "pathological", but still it is better
be safe since that meta might be used later to create a new dma
buffer.
gst_vaapi_video_buffer_pool_reset_buffer() is called when the sink
releases the last reference on an exported DMA buffer. This should
release the underlying surface proxy. To avoid releasing the wrong
surface due to a stale surface proxy reference in the buffer's
GstVaapiVideoMeta, always update the reference to the correct surface
in gst_vaapi_video_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer().
This function will inform the element if it shall copy the generated
buffer by the pool to a system allocated buffer before pushing it
to downstream.

VA-API based buffer might need a video meta because of different
strides. But when donwstream doesn't support video meta we need to
force the usage of video meta.
Before we changed the buffer pool configuration, but actually this
is a hack and we cannot rely on that for downstream.
This patch add a check fo raw video caps and allocator is VA-API,
then the option is enabled without changing the pool configuration.
In this case the element is responsible to copy the frame to a
simple buffer with the expected strides.

The function g_bit_nth_lsf() may return -1 if the request bit position
is not avaible. Thus, this patch check if the return value is not -1
in order to continue.
There is another regression with 7a206923 when setting the video
info for the video meta, it should be the one from the image's
allocator rather from the allocation caps.
Test pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=bug766184.flv ! decodebin \
! tee ! videoconvert ! videoscale \
! video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080 ! xvimagesink
There is a regression in 7a206923, since the buffer pool ditches all
the buffers generated by them because the pool config size is
different of the buffer's size.
Test pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov \
! qtdemux ! vaapih264dec ! vaapipostproc ! xvimagesink \
--gst-debug=GST_PERFORMANCE:5
The allocator may update the buffer size according to the VA surface
properties. In order to do this, the video info is modified when the
allocator is created, which reports through the allocation info the
updated size, and set it to the pool config.
Refactor the set_config() virtual method considering a cleaner
approach to allocator instanciation, if it it not set or if it is
not valid for the pool.

The vaapi video decoders might have different allocation caps from
the negotiation caps, thus the GstVideoMeta shall use the negotiation
caps, not the allocation caps.
This was done before reusing gst_allocator_get_vaapi_video_info(),
storing there the negotiation caps if they differ from the allocation
ones, but this strategy felt short when the allocator had to be reset
in the vaapi buffer pool, since we need both.
This patch adds gst_allocator_set_vaapi_negotiated_video_info() and
gst_allocator_get_vaapi_negotiated_video_info() to store the
negotiated video info in the allocator, and distinguish it from
the allocation video info.

Renamed local video info structure names in set_config() vitual
method. The purpose of their renaming is to clarify the origin
of those structures, whether come from passed caps parameter
(new_allocation_vinfo) or from the configured allocator
(allocator_vinfo).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783599
Renamed private GstVideoInfo structure video_info to allocation_vinfo
and alloc_info to negotiated_vinfo.
The purpose of these renaming is to clarify the origin and purpose of
these private variables:
video_info (now allocation_vinfo) comes from the bufferpool
configuration. It describes the physical video resolution to be
allocated by the allocator, which may be different from the
negotiated one.
alloc_info (now vmeta_vinfo) comes from the negotiated caps in
the pipeline. It represents how the frame is going to be mapped
using the video meta.
In Intel's VA-API backend, the allocation_vinfo resolution is
bigger than the negotiated_info.

Since it's created by itself, it should be unref-counted
after gst_buffer_pool_config_set_allocator call. Afterwards,
this allocator will be ref-counted again when assigning to priv->allocator.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781577
Sometimes a video decoder could set different buffer pool
configurations, because their frame size changes. In this case we
did not reconfigure the allocator.
This patch enables this use case, creating a new allocator inside
the VAAPI buffer pool if the caps changed, if it is not dmabuf-based.
If so, it is just reconfigured, since it doesn't have a surface pool.

Overriding the vmethod acquire_buffer() it is possible to attach the
right GstMemory to the current acquired buffer.
As a matter of fact, this acquired buffer may contain any instantiated
GstFdmemory, since this buffer have been popped out from the buffer
pool, which is a FIFO queue. So there is no garantee that this buffer
matches with the current processed surface. Evenmore, the VA driver
might not use a FIFO queue. Therefore, it is no way to guess on the
ordering.
In short, acquire_buffer on the VA driver and on the buffer pool return
none matching data, we have to manually attach the right GstFdMemory to
the acquired GstBuffer. The right GstMemory is the one associated with
the current surface.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755072
gst_vaapi_dmabuf_memory_new() always exports a surface. Previously, it
had to create that surface. Now it can also export an already provided
surface. It is useful to export decoder's surfaces (from VA context).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755072
We should set the correct buffer size when we are configuring the pool,
otherwise the buffer will be discarded when it returns to the pool.
Indeed when the ref-count of a buffer reaches zero, its pool will queue
it back (and ref it) if, and only if, the buffer size matches the
configured buffer size on the pool.
This issue can be debugged with GST_DEBUG=*PERF*:6, see gstbufferpool.c

In cases where we know the video meta must be present, add it to

Originally, vaapivideobufferpool has a set of boolean variables for the
buffer configuration options.
This pach changes these boolean variables for a single bitwise, just as
it is used in pluginbase. Hence, the internal enum was moved to
vaapivideobufferpool header.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765435
Originally vaapivideobufferpool instantiates its own allocator regardless the
received configuration, and it relies in custom configuration options to
choose which kind of allocator instantiate.
This patch transfers the responsibility of the allocator instantiate to
vaapipluginbase and pass it to the vaapivideobufferpool through its
configuration.
* gst/vaapi/gstvaapipluginbase.c
+ set_dmabuf_allocator(): inserts a dmabuf allocator in the bufferpool
+ ensure_sinkpad_buffer_pool(): set a normal vaapi video allocator in
bufferpool configuration
+ gst_vaapi_plugin_base_propose_allocation(): call set_dmabuf_allocator() if
needed.
+ gst_vaapi_plugin_base_decide_allocation(): set a normal vaapi video
allocator in bufferpool configuration
* gst/vaapi/gstvaapivideobufferpool.c
+ gst_vaapi_video_buffer_pool_set_config(): instead of instantiate the
allocator, process the received one through its configuration.
* gst/vaapi/gstvaapivideobufferpool.h: removed
GST_BUFFER_POOL_OPTION_DMABUF_MEMORY since it is not used anymore.
* gst/vaapi/gstvaapivideomemory.c
+ gst_vaapi_is_dmabuf_allocator(): new helper function to identify a dmabuf
allocator with the vaapi qdata.

When validating the caps from bufferpool config, this patch distinguishes the
error from no caps received (NULL) from the invalid caps (cannot be converted
into GstVideoInfo structure).
The support for GStreamer 1.0 has been obsoleted in 0.5.10 release.
GStreamer 1.2 is the a minimal requirement for building the gstreamer-vaapi.
This patch removes all the pre-processor conditional code compilation guarded
for gstreamer-1.0.
Thus, all the video converters were removed too.

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

Allow v4l2src element to connected to vaapipostproc or vaapisink when
"io-mode" is set to "dmabuf-import". In practice, this is a more likely
operational mode with uvcvideo. Supporting v4lsrc with "io-mode" set
to "dmabuf" could work, but with more demanding driver or kernel reqs.
Note: with GStreamer 1.4, v4l2src (gst-plugins-good) needs to be built
with --without-libv4l2.

Reword surface pool allocation helpers so that to allow for a simple
form, e.g. gst_vaapi_surface_pool_new(format, width, height); and a
somewhat more elaborated/flexible form with optional allocation flags
and precise GstVideoInfo specification.
This is an API/ABI change, and SONAME version needs to be bumped.
Add GST_VAAPI_VIDEO_BUFFER_POOL_ACQUIRE_FLAG_NO_ALLOC params flag that
can be used to disable early allocations of vaapi video metas on buffers,
thus delagating that to the bufferpool user.
Always add VideoAlignment bufferpool option if the downstream element
expects its own pool to be used but does not offer it through a proper
propose_allocation() implementation for instance, and that the ALLOCATION
query does not expose the availability of the Video Meta API.
This fixes propagation of video buffer stride information to Firefox.
Requesting the GLTextureUpload meta on buffers in the bufferpool
prevents such metas from being de-allocated when buffers are released
in the sink.
This is particulary useful in terms of performance when using the
GLTextureUploadMeta API since the GstVaapiTexture associated with
the target texture is stored in the meta.

Reset the buffer pool allocator only if the config caps changed in a
sensible way: format or resolution change. i.e. don't bother with
other caps like colorimetry et al. as this doesn't affect the way to
allocate VA surfaces or images.
Fix GstVaapiVideoBufferPool::reset_buffer() to reset the underlying
memory resources, and more particularly the VA surface proxy. Most
importantly, the GstVaapiVideoMeta is retained. Cached surface in
memory are released, thus triggering a new allocation the next time
we need to map the buffer.
