This is doing the same as h264 encoder as the following:
Using num_ref_frames provided and the result of the Query
VAConfigAttribEncMaxRefFrames, it determines the size of reference list
and perform encoding with multi reference frames as the following:
1\ The num_ref_frames is being considered as the number of
reference picture list0
2\ Encoder adds 1 reference frame more to the reference picture list1
internally if b-frame encoding.
3\ If num_ref_frames is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
Also this patch includes:
- Set num_negative_pics and num_positive_pics according to the number of
refs.
- Set delta_poc according to the number of refs.
- Increase max_dec_pic_buffering according to the number of refs
- Change max_num_reorder_pics according to num of bframes
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783804
Users can provide the number of reference frame by this property,
which is exaclty same as h264.
The value of the property will be considered as the number of
reference picture list0 and will add 1 reference frame more to the
reference picture list1 internally if b-frame encoding.
If the value provided is bigger than the number of refrence frames
supported in the driver, it will be lowered.
The maximum value is aligned to the value of the driver supported now.

Adding FEI encoder to core lib.
The code is splitted into three session:
1: gstvaapiencoder_h264_fei.{h,c}
This is the replica of gstvaapiencoder_h264.{c,h} but with FEI.
All the modes ENC, PAK and ENC_PAK are running based
the code in these files.
2: gstvaapifeienc_h264.{h,c}
Abstract implementation intended for ENC (only VME) operation.
3: gstvaapifeipak_h264.{h,c}
Abstrct implementation intended for PAK (only the PAK module)
Right now ENC_PAK, ENC and PAK are running based on code
in gstvaapiencoder_h264_fei.{h,c}. The abstract implementations
in gstvaapifeienc_h264.{h,c} and gstvaapifeipak_h264.{h,c} are
needed if user request for ENC+PAK mode operation.
ENC+PAK: Here we need to invoke two sequence of
vaBeginPicture/vaRenderPicutre/vaEndPicture for each frame,
first for the ENC only and the second for PAK only.
Each mode associated with separate context ,but same pool of surfaces are
shared between the modes.
This is more useful once we have custom BRC algorithms.

MbCode, MV and Distortion buffers (fei codec objects)
can be treated as output of different fei modes based user request.
For eg: MbCode and MV are the output of ENC only. MbCode, MV and Dist
can be dumped as output in ENC_PAK mode for analysis purpose.
So treating them as a part of CodedBufferProxy too.
Here we avoided Qp, MbControl and MvPredictor codec objects since
there is no practical use case of treating them as "output buffers".

There are 6 new va buffer types, each defined as a specific codec object.
Borrowed the code from gstvaapicodecobject , but made a clear separation
to avoid any possible mess-up. Because unlike the other gstvaaicodecobjects,
feicodecobjects can be shared between elements and also can be accessed
from different thread.
Unlike the other fei codecs object, VAEncMiscParameterTypeFEIFrameControl
object is not shared between elements.So we utilize the already
existing gst_vaapi_enc_misc_param_new(), but still keeping the code
in gstvaapfei_objects_priv.h in order to have a better
code readability.
Fixme:
-- Probably we need _locked_map() and _unlocked_map()
-- Context can be associated with PreEnc(not just Enoder)
once we have the proper support inplace, but for now we don't have
PreEnc support, so should be safe enough to use GstVaapiEncoder.

Add a new vitrual method ensure_secondary_context to the
base encoder which is only required for the FEI entrypoint, that too
only when user configures the ENC+PAK mode. ENC+PAK mode is not something

from the middleware.

Drops non-base NALs when the base-only property is set to TRUE.
This modifies the behavior for MVC streams with base-only too: All the
non-base units are dropped before they are decoded instead of dropping
the non-base frames.
The relevant part from the H264 spec is:
> Decoders that conform to one or more of the profiles specified in
Annex A rather than the profiles specified in Annexes G or H shall
ignore (remove from the bitstream and discard) the contents of all NAL
units with nal_unit_type equal to 14, 15, or 20.
To eliminate side effects from the offending units:
- PPS's with a broken seq_parameter_set_id (referring to dropped subset
SPS's) are ignored.
- The NAL parsing is skipped and their flags are set to
GST_VAAPI_DECODER_UNIT_FLAG_SKIP.
- Prefix units are not stored in prev_pi. Otherwise, parse_slice() would
use them even if they are flagged to be skipped. Subset SPS's and slice
extension units are not stored there either.

Coverity scan bug:
An assigned value that is never used may represent unnecessary
computation, an incorrect algorithm, or possibly the need for cleanup
or refactoring.
ip_period is assigned first to be rewritter inmediatly after. The
first assignation is spurious.
Coverity scan:
Logically dead code: The indicated dead code may have performed some
action; that action will never occur.
By using pointer arithmetic is impossible to get NULL.
Coverity scan bug:
Out-of-bounds write. This could cause an immediate crash or incorrect
computations.
Coverity basically found that it is possible to assign more than 4
attribs in the array.
In my opinion this was produced because code pattern used pointer
arithmetic, which is not readable nor maintainable.
This patch refactors config_create() to use an array index rather than
pointer arithmetic. Also a run-time check for index size was added.
Converity scan bug:
If the function returns an error value, the error value may be
mistaken for a normal value.
If g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange() fails because the frame is
not the last one, the function fails. Thus, logging an info message.

Function sscanf returns the number of assignations done. Validate this

Dereference after null check: Either the check against null is
unnecessary, or there may be a null pointer dereference.
Variable klass has been validated as non-NULL several time before in

Coverity scan bug:
Dereference after null check: Either the check against null is
unnecessary, or there may be a null pointer dereference.
While looking for hte lowest poc, according to rest of the code, the
picture in the dbp (decoded picture buffer) might be NULL, thus we
could check for a NULL picture before assigned as found.
Also, split a comma operator because it is considered as a bad
practice because it possible side effects.
Coverity scan bug:
Scalars (for example, integers) are not properly
bounds-checked (sanitized) before being used as array or pointer
indexes, loop boundaries, or function arguments are considered as
tainted.
In this case, num_nals were not checked before used as loop control.
Coverity scan bug:
Dereference after null check: Either the check against null is
unnecessary, or there may be a null pointer dereference.
In the original commit for fill_picture_gaps() (commit 5abd2b90) the
prev_picture could be NULL, that's why the code did a null check. But,
since commit 52adebe7, the previous reference frames are tracked, thus
there is no need to check null anymore.

Insert an AUD as the first NAL of each encoded frame.
Some applications require Access Unit Delimiter for decoding the

The AU delimeter insertion is done only when the aud parameter is

should be 1.8 or superior. Otherwise, the output will be corrupted.

Until now, the encoder ignored the profile in src caps and chose one
according with the given parameters. But the encoder must honor the
profile specifed in src caps.
This patch do that, and if the encoder needs to choose the profile,
it will do it by following these rules:
1\ If given parameters are not compatible with given profile, the
encoder will bail out with an error.
2\ The encoder will choose the higher profile indicated in the
src caps.

Since commits in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781142 landed,
they introduced regression in seek.
Formerly, once seek is done, decoder drops P-frames until I-frame arrives.
But since the commits landed, it doesn't drop P-frame and does try to
decode it continuously because active_sps is still alive. See ensure_sps function.
But there are prev_frames and prev_ref_frames reset already, then it
causes assertion.
So it's necessary to reset active_sps/pps also in reset method.

Instead of recalculating the miscellaneous buffer parameters for
every buffer, it is only done once, when the encoder is configured.
And for every buffer, the same structures are just copied.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783449
This is patch pretends to decouple the assignation of the values
in the parameter structures and the VA buffer's parameters setting.
It may lead to some issues since HRD, framerate or controlrate may
not be handled by the specific encoder, but they are set in
the VA buffer's parameters.
I leave as it because this patch is just a transitional patch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783449
According to the VA documentation:
The framerate is specified as a number of frames per second,
as a fraction. The denominator of the fraction is given in
the top half (the high two bytes) of the framerate field, and
the numerator is given in the bottom half (the low two bytes).
For example, if framerate is set to (100 << 16 | 750), this is
750 / 100, hence 7.5fps.
If the denominator is zero (the high two bytes are both zero)
then it takes the value one instead, so the framerate is just
the integer in the low 2 bytes.
This patch fixes the the framerate calculation in vp8 encoder
according to this.

Instead of using a proxy to story the buffer quality level, the
encoder now uses the native VA structure, which is copied to the
dynamically allocated VAEncMiscParameterBuffer.
This approach is computationally less expensive.
Right now, H264 and HEVC can set as a property the number of slices to
process. But each driver can set a maximum number of slices, depending
on the supported profile & entry point.
This patch verifies the current num_slices to process against the maximum
permitted by the driver and the media size.
