In kernel before 3.17, polling during queue underrun would unblock right
away and trigger POLLERR. As we are not handling POLLERR, we would endup
blocking in DQBUF call, which won't be unblocked correctly when going
to NULL state. A deadlock at start caused by locking error in libv4l2 was
also seen before this patch. Instead, we wait until the queue is no longer
empty before polling.

The code enumerating STEPWISE framesizes would start from
(min_w, min_h) and then add (step_w, step_h) to get the
next framesize. However, it should really allow any width
from min_w to max_w with step_w and same for heights.
Secondly, we would add and probe each individual stepped
frame size to the caps as separate structure, which would
lead to hundreds if not thousands of structs ending up in
the probed caps. Use integer ranges with steps instead.
This was particularly noticable with the Raspberry Pi Cam.

This workaround from 2011 was causing 25 S_FMT ioctls to be sent
to my UVC webcam from under gst_v4l2_object_get_caps as it probes
all the formats. In total, this adds up to about 5 seconds of
execution time, or a 10 second delay while starting up cheese.
These ioctls come from a workaround from 2011 where TRY_FMT might
make changes to hardware settings, so S_FMT was used to restore
the original config:

This is required as during preroll we pass the first buffer twice, hence already
queued. It is also useful, to allow filters replaying a previous rendered buffers.
This will require 1 more buffer in sink if last-sample is enabled, since the last
sample will not be the same as the currently queued buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722303
For output device, we where queuing all the buffers, and then we would
dequeue one. This means we only have 1 buffer for the pipeline, no matter
the size of the queue. Instead, start dequeued when min_latency is reached.
Eventually, this the min_latency should also be affected by control
MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_OUTPUT (use by encoders).
Calculation of num_buffers (the max latency in buffers) was
up-side-down. If we can allcoate, then our maximum latency match
pool maximum number of buffers. Also renamed it to max latency. Finally
introduced a min_latency for clarity.
Fix the choice of min/max, don't override the min/max with own pool selected
size, correct other_pool is_active check, start from other_pool config when
configuring the other pool and finally validate the configuration.
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.

We need to handle the case where a flush occure while the streaming
thread is being brought up. In this case, the flushing state of the poll
object is cleared. To solve this, we simply set the capture poll to flushing
again, this way we know the thread will exit. The decoder streamlock
is used to synchronize with handle frame.
M2M devices were sharing the same properties as src and sink. Most of
these made no sense. This patch reduces the number of propeties and
makes io-mode clearer by having capture-io-mode and output-io-mode. This
also accidently fixed a bug in gstv4l2transform io-mode code, where the
capture io-mode could not be set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729591
If the driver need more buffers than requested by the config,
update the pool min/max values. The minimum value for the pool
could be provided either by the driver or by the pool. This is
best effort for drivers that don't support
CID V4L2_CID_MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_CAPTURE.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730200
This allow calling start streaming later for capture device. Currently it breaks
in dmabuf-import because downstream is holding a buffer that will only be
released after stream-start.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730207
When extrapolating the offset, we need to use the extrapolate
stride rather then the base stride. This should fix support for format
with more then two planes (I420, Y42B, etc).
When doing frame operation, we need to use the default VideoInfo
and let the frame API read the video meta in order to get the stride
and offset right. Currently we where using the specialized VideoInfo
which reflects what the HW is setup to.
Simplify framerate field if possible, so we don't end up with
e.g. framerate = (fraction) { 30/1 }. Maybe the helper function
should be moved to core, but we can do this later.
This moves away from copying information and store everything inside
the GstVideoInfo structure. The alignement exposed by v4l2 api
is now handled using proper offset.
Return a buffer from an otherpool has unwanted side effects that lead to leaks and
prevents deactivating the pool. Instead, we change the _process() API so it can
replace the internal buffer with the buffer from the downstream pool. This implied
moving from _fill() to _create() method in the src.
Buffer refcounting is a bit hard, because of the duality between CAPTURE and
OUTPUT mode. In the long term, we should consider having two seperate pool
instead of this mess. At least state should be better kept this way.
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/
Improve decide allocation so it properly configure both local and downstream
buffer pools. Also read back the pool config if it was changed to to driver
limitations.
Pre-configuring the pool is error prone, since it may hide a configuration failure and
endup with a pool that is not configured the way it should (e.g. no video meta, wrong
queue size, etc.)
Catch short allocation after saving the format. This is not a catch all, but should catch
most of the miss-behaving drivers when doing S_FMT/G_FMT and avoid potential crash.
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.
Some well known decoder wrongly set num_planes to 0 in their format instead of
one. In this case we would endup with no size when deciding buffer allocation.
In order to correctly set the pool min/max, we need to probe for CREATE_BUFS
ioctl. This can be done as soon as the format has been negotiated using a
count of 0.
Now that we might be copying out buffer (e.g. downstream don't support video
meta bug we need it) we need to move the EOS handling inside the process
method.
As soon a the alpha component can be set, we can expose the RGB32 and BGR32
format as ARGB and BGRA as long we can deterministically set the alpha padding
value.
In certain cases we cannot live without video meta and/or crop meta
being enabled in our internal buffer pool. Ensure this is always the case,
regardless of having support for allocation query.
Upon error, the pools might not have been allocated yet, hence we should not
try and flush them (even though we still want to make sure the processing thread
is fully stopped).
Buffer pool was guessing wrongly the number of planes rather
then reading the value from obj->n_v4l2_planes. This was causing
format YU12 (I420) to fail upon check.
The complex mechanic to try and choose the right thing did not work. Instead,
simply probe the non-contiguous format first and then the contiguous one.
This is in fact very low overhead, as there is a relatively small number of
pixel format supported by each devices.
Certain decoder has been found to not choose a format automatically. Running
v4l2videodec on these would assert. This patch will make it fail cleanly
instead.
If caps are set again, we have a risk od returning from set_format with a
input_state pointing to dead memory. Clearing the pointer after unref fix
this issue.
Uppon certain downstream error, stop() is called without a flush(). This mean that
the streaming thread may still be running even though unlock has been called.
Now calling flush to reset the decoder state if we are processing.
Simplify sub-instanciation by defining an absract type and using subtype
class and instance init callback. This also fixes a bug where the template
pads get initialized too late.

For format like mpegts, width and height is rarely in the negotiated caps. This
patch fixes failure when setting format, and prevent introducing width, height,
framerate and format to the caps when fixating.

It seems that GStreamer's mpegts elements (tsdemux, tsparse) require caps
`video/mpegts,systemstream=true`. As far as I can see the significance
of systemstream is to indicate that this is a container format rather than
an elementary stream. As this is the case (and I can't understand how it
could not be the case with mpegts) I add systemstream=true to v4l2src's
caps.
This allows v4l2src to be linked with tsdemux for playback from my
Hauppauge HD-PVR with the pipeline:
v4l2src ! queue ! tsdemux ! video/x-h264 ! decodebin ! xvimagesink
In combination with the next commit this fixes using Hauppauge HD-PVR with
GStreamer 1.0+.
Adds type compatiblity with other OS like BSD. This uses types mapping macro to
avoid conflict with existing defined types. We resuse glib types as these are
already available on supported platforms. This is GCC only because of the
le32 type that uses bitwise attribute.

With years the amount of ifdef have grown up and we are not even sure if the
old code path compiles. Each time we need to update the v4l2 framework to add
the new feature, we break compilation on older kernel. With exception of two
controls in the video orientation control, this patch get rid of all ifdef by
including the latest version of videodev2.h inside GStreamer.

V4L2 kernel drivers allow configuration of the hardware settings via a
mechanism called controls. These can be referred to by name such as
"Brightness" and "White Balance Temperature". The user-space command line
client for setting these controls (v4l2-ctl) normalises these names such
that they only contain lower case alphanumeric characters and the
underscore '_'. e.g:
Kernel v4l2-ctl
----------------------------------------------------
Brightness brightness
White Balance Temperature white_balance_temperature
Focus (absolute) focus_absolute
GStreamer seems to want to follow this pattern but failed for controls with
more than one consecutive non-alphanum character. e.g. GStreamer would
produce "focus__absolute_" rather than "focus_absolute".
This commit fixes that issue. Backwards compatibility is preserved by
normalising all control names before comparison.

We correctly indicate the field ordering on interlaced buffers, but fail to
flag them as containing interlaced video, which we need to do here because
we signal interlace-mode=mixed in our caps. This means that downstream
elements (like vaapipostproc from gstreamer-vaapi) don't recognise these
buffers as in need of deinterlacing.
Fix this by setting the interlaced flag on all interlaced buffers.

This may not be defined. Since the previous version used
only the other define (V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_MPLANE), fall
back on this only when not available.
Don't enforce having width, height and framerate in template caps for encoded
formats. These don't always need to be exposed and may break negotiation for
decoder and decoding sink. If needed, these field will be automatically added
when probed caps are known.

STREAMOFF set all v4l2buffers to DEQUEUE state.
Then for CAPTURE we call QBUF on each buffer.

It makes the gst_v4l2_object_set_format() slightly simplier and will make that

This api is in linux kernel since version 2.6.39,
and present in all version 3.
The commit that adds the API in master branch of the
linux kernel source is:
f8f3914cf9
v4l2 doc: "Some devices require data for each input
or output video frame to be placed in discontiguous
memory buffers"
There are newer structures 'struct v4l2_pix_format_mplane'
and 'struct v4l2_plane'.
So the pixel format is not setup with the same API when using
multi-planar.
Also for gst-v4l2, one of the difference is that in GstV4l2Meta
there are now one mem pointer for each maped plane.
When not using multi-planar, this commit takes care of keeping
the same code path than previously. So that the 2 cases are
in two different blocks triggered from V4L2_TYPE_IS_MULTIPLANAR.

As cameras tend to have a quite specific set of capabilities (specific
framerates for each resolution), getting the peer caps filtered by our
probed caps can cause a big increase in the caps size which slows down
things quire a bit.
As for negotiation v4l2 iterates through the caps of the peer to find the
first intersection with the probed caps, getting the fully expanded
intersection of capabilities is not useful.
Using the same testcase as for bug #702632, adding this patch on top of
the patches suggested there speeds up getting the inital frame from
around ~14-15 seconds to around ~3-4 seconds.

This is necessary to make controls from other control classes available in
