The buffer memory type provided to the VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS ioctl shall
be set with the value ("memory") given as input parameter of the
gst_v4l2_allocator_probe() function.

I've seen problems where the `bytesused` field of `v4l2_buffer` would be
a silly number causing the later call to:
gst_memory_resize (group->mem[i], 0, group->planes[i].bytesused);
to result in this error to be printed:
(pulsevideo:11): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_memory_resize: assertion 'size + mem->offset + offset <= mem->maxsize' failed
besides causing who-knows what other problems.
We make the assumption that this buffer has still been dequeued correctly
so just clamp to a valid size so downstream elements won't end up in
undefined behaviour.
The invalid `v4l2_buffer` I saw from my capture device was:
buffer = {
index = 0,
type = 1,
bytesused = 534748928, // <- Invalid
flags = 8260, // V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TIMESTAMP_MONOTONIC | V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR | V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE
field = 01330, // <- Invalid
timestamp = {
tv_sec = 0,
tv_usec = 0
},
timecode = {
type = 0,
flags = 0,
frames = 0 '\000',
seconds = 0 '\000',
minutes = 0 '\000',
hours = 0 '\000',
userbits = "\000\000\000"
},
sequence = 0,
memory = 2,
m = {
offset = 3537219584,
userptr = 140706665836544, // Could be nonsense, not sure
planes = 0x7ff8d2d5b000,
fd = -757747712
},
length = 2764800,
reserved2 = 0,
reserved = 0
}
This is from gdb with my own annotations added.
This was with gst-plugins-good 1.8.1, a Magewell XI100DUSB-HDMI video
capture device and kernel 3.13 using a dodgy HDMI cable which is great at
breaking HDMI capture devices. I'm using io-mode=userptr and have built
gst-plugins-good without libv4l.

Didn't know which one to choose between queuing and queueing, so I picked
the one with the biggest amount of vowels in a row ;-P (both are
acceptable apparently)
In the V4L2 single-planar API, when format is semi-planar/planar,
drivers expect the planes to be contiguous in memory.
So this commit change the way we handle semi-planar/planar format
(n_planes > 1) when we use the single-planar API (group->n_mem == 1).
To check that planes are contiguous and have expected size, ie: no
padding. We test the fact that plane 'i' start address + plane 'i'
expected size equals to plane 'i + 1' start address. If not, we return
in error.
Math are done in bufferpool rather than in allocator because the
former is aware of video info.

Offset are relative to the buffer and there is no guarantee substracting
them will give us the plane size. So we let bufferpool make the math as
it is more aware of video info than allocator and pass a size array to
allocator import function.

When memory (that has been shared using gst_memory_share()) are freed,
the memory (or the DMABUF FD) should not bee freed. These memories have
a parent. This also removes the extra _v4l2mem_free function and avoid
calling close twice on the DMABUF FD.

v4l2loopback driver has a this nasty bug that if the queue is larger
then 2 buffers, it returns random index on dqbuf. So far we assumed
that the index was always right, which would lead to memory being
unref twice, and eventually crash.
As the buffer array is fixed size and small, it's safer to simply
use this static size to cleanup the buffers. This is also more
consistent with the rest. The associated method is no longer
required and can be dropped.
It looks like libv4l2 support for CREATE_BUF is incomplete. That
combine with existing bugs may lead to crash in GStreamer. These
check will make it robust by:
- Checking create buf index isn't an already in used index
- Checking that the index out of QUERYBUF matches the requested
index
There is still around 18 drivers not yet ported to videobuf2. These driver
don't support freeing buffetrs through REQBUFS(0) hence for these the
memory type probing fails. In order to gain back our previous behaviour in
presence of these, we implement a workaround that assuming MMAP is
supported. Note that an allocator is only created for device with
STREAMING support in the device capabilities. In such case one of MMAP,
USERPTR and DMABUF is required. Though DMABUF came afterward, so is
not an option and in practice none of these drivers will only do USERPTR.

Parenting V4l2Memory to DmabufMemory was in conflict with recent
optimization in DmabufMemory to avoid dup(), and didn't work with
memory sharing. Instead, use a qdata and it's destroy notify.

All enum that has REQBUFS and CREATE_BUFS where missing S, which was
confusing since they are supposed to match with associcated ioctl name. This
also fixes the yet unused CAN_REQUEST flag check.
Because of the buf in videobuf2, dqbuf may leave the DONE flag being,
which would implied that the buffer is queued. As this has been broken
for 4 years, simply guaranty the state flags integrity when doing
qbuf/dqbuf.
See https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/23641/
This goal of this allocator is mainly to allow tracking the memory.
Currently, when a buffer memory has been modified, the buffer and it's
memory is disposed and lost until the stream is restarted.
