There used to be some profile/level support in encoders. This code was moved to
GstV4l2Codecs and is now also used for decoders. The caps templates for the
H.264, H.265, MPEG4, VP8 and VP9 encoders and decoders should now reflect the
profiles and levels advertised by the kernel.
Recent kernels allow REQBUFS(0) on a queue that still has buffers in
use (mmapped or exported via dmabuf), orphaning all buffers on the queue.
If this is supported, the v4l2videodec element does not have to send a
drain request downstream.
This is to support Amlogic CODEC driver which does not provide a full
list of formats when the driver is initially opened. GStreamer does
not strictly need this full list initially, but only later, in order
to negotiate with downstream if multiple format can be selected.
With this change, we will no longer probe twice the device, since the
probed list can be directly used for negotation.
Add a debug message right before waiting for the driver.
This is useful in order to debug drivers without a properly
implemented decoder or encoder stop command.
In some cases, set_format() may get called twice before the output
format is set. Running an allocation query in this case is both not
needed and will cause assertion due tot he NULL caps.
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_flush() executes streamoff for the output, but
streamoff->streamon for the capture of the decoder.
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_streamon() on capture assumes that is able to
resurrect the buffers from the pool, but acquiring buffers fails if the
buffer pool is still flushing.
The decoder needs to stop flushing the pools before calling
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_flush() to restart the v4l2 device. Otherwise
starting the decoding thread might fail, because there are no buffers in
the capture pool.
This fixes a regression that was introduced in 97985a335c
("v4l2videodec: Add dynamic resolution change support").

gst_v4l2_dup() will now take care of setting
v4l2capture->no_initial_format and keep_aspect instead of doing it
manually.
Fix a typo as keep_aspect was set twice on v4l2output but never on
v4l2capture.

This implements a "big hammer" reallocation method. We effectively
drain and stop both side of the decoder and restart. This though is
the most generic method. This change should enable on most drivers
adaptive streaming.

This way we can pass the pad name instead of the element for tracing
which helps identifying which v4l2object is used withing M2M element
like decoder, encoder and transform. For the reference, pads are name
<parent-name>:<pad-name>.
Commit 1f31715c98 ("v4l2videodec: use visible size, not coded size,
for downstream negotiation filter") added support for removing the
padding obtained as the difference between width/height from G_FMT and
visible width/height from G_SELECTION from the probed caps obtained
via TRY_FMT.
This patch fixes the padding removal for drivers that only round up
height, but not width, to the padded frame size. This might happen
because horizontal padding can be handled by line stride (bytesperline),
but there is no such thing as plane stride in the V4L2 API for
single-buffer planar formats.

The purpose of being able to flush the buffer pool is only to
unlock any blocked operation. Doing streamoff/streamon had the
side effect of turning off and on the camera. As we do a flush_start
/ flush_stop sequence when shutting down, that would cause a really
quick sequence of streamoff/streamon/streamoff/close which was
causing some cameras to stop working.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783945
The library has started preventing a lot of interesting use cases,
like CREATE_BUFS, DMABuf, usage of TRY_FMT. As the libv4l2 is totally
inactive and not maintained, we decided to disable it. As a convenience
we added a run-time environment that let you enable it for testing.
GST_V4L2_USE_LIBV4L2=1
This of course only works if you have enabled libv4l2 at build time.
Add a couple of useful debug traces , they happened to be useful to
debug/investigate a 4K video playback issue with v4l2, so let's make these
changes more permanent.

First step of a larger cleanup, all function from v4l2_calls are in fact
methods on GstV4l2Object. This split makes the code really confusing.
This also remove no longer unused macros.
Before that, each m2m node would be wrapped as a single, multi-format
decoder element. As a unique name was needed, we where using the device
name, which changes between re-boots. This led to unpredictable element
names. In this patch, we generate an element per codec, using
v4l2<codec>dec name. If there is multiple decoder for the same format,
the following elements will be named v4l2<node><codec>dec.

Running `gst-validate-launcher -t validate.file.playback.change_state_intensive.vorbis_vp8_1_webm`
on odroid XU4 (s5p-mfc v4l2 driver) often leads to:
ERROR:../subprojects/gst-plugins-good/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2videodec.c:215:gst_v4l2_video_dec_stop: assertion failed: (g_atomic_int_get (&self->processing) == FALSE)
This happens when the following race happens:
- T0: Main thread
- T1: Upstream streaming thread
- T2. v4l2dec processing thread)
[The decoder is in PAUSED state]
T0. The validate scenario runs `Executing (36/40) set-state: state=null repeat=40`
T1- The decoder handles a frame
T2- A decoded frame is push downstream
T2- Downstream returns FLUSHING as it is already flushing changing state
T2- The decoder stops its processing thread and sets `->processing = FALSE`
T1- The decoder handles another frame
T1- `->process` is FALSE so the decoder restarts its streaming thread
T0- In v4l2dec-> stop the processing thread is stopped
NOTE: At this point the processing thread loop never started.
T0- assertion failed: (g_atomic_int_get (&self->processing) == FALSE)
Here I am removing the whole ->processing logic to base it all on the
GstTask state to avoid duplicating the knowledge.

If the duration of the v4l2object is GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, because the
sink did not specify a framerate in the caps and the driver accepts the
framerate, the decoder element uses GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE to calculate and
set the element latency.
While this is a bug of the capture driver, the decoder element should
not use the invalid duration to calculate a latency, but print a warning
instead.

Instead of completely getting rid of the input buffer, copy
the metadata, the flags and the timestamp into an empty buffer.
This way the decoder base class can copy that information again
to the output buffer.

gst_v4l2_probe_caps() returns the coded size, not the visible size. Subtract
the known padding from probed caps with the coded size before using them as
filter for caps negotiation with downstream elements.

There was some miss-match in the implementation. This makes it
concistent, though functionally it worked, except the video decoder
output-io-mode getter.
Replace the sink_query with new getcaps() virtual and use the proxy
helper with the probed caps. This allow upstream element taking decision
base on what is supported downstream.
This allow skipping buffer flagged with ERROR that has no payload.
This is typical behaviour when a recovererable error occured during
capture in the driver, but that no valid data was ever written into that
buffer. This patch also translate V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR into
GST_BUFFER_FLAG_CORRUPTED. Hence decoding error produce
by decoder due to missing frames will now be correctly marked. Finally,
this fixes a buffer leak when EOS is reached.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740040
The decodeing thread returning flushing isn't an error, we should simply
try starting the task again. If it's actually flushing, it will stop again by itself.
