Unlike other stateless decoder implementations (e.g., VA),
our DPB pool cannot be grown since we are using
texture array (pre-allocated, fixed-size d3d11 texture pool).
So, if there's no more available texture to use,
there's no way other than copying it to downstream's
d3d11 buffer pool. Otherwise deadlock will happen.

This adds a non-thread safe refcount to the GstV4l2Request. This will
allow holding on more then one request in order to implement render
delay. This is made non-thread safe for speed as we know this will all
happen on the same streaming thread.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1881>
Starting from this patch, all queue and dequeue operation happening
on V4L2 is now abstracted with the request. Buffers are dequeued
automatically when pending requests are marked done and only 1 in-flight
request is now used.
Along with fixing issues with request not being reused with slice
decoders, this change reduces the memory footprint by allocating only
two bitstream buffers.

* Don't warn for live object, since ID3D11Debug itself seems to be
holding refcount of ID3D11Device at the moment we called
ID3D11Debug::ReportLiveDeviceObjects(). It would report live object
always
* Device might not be able to support some formats (e.g., P010)
especially in case of WARP device. We don't need to warn about that.
* gst_d3d11_device_new() can be used for device enumeration. Don't warn
even if we cannot create D3D11 device with given adapter index therefore.
* Don't warn for HLSL compiler warning. It's just noise and

Add a way to support drawing on application's texture instead of
usual window handle.
To make use of this new feature, application should follow below step.
1) Enable this feature by using "draw-on-shared-texture" property
2) Watch "begin-draw" signal
3) On "begin-draw" signal handler, application can request drawing
by using "draw" signal action. Note that "draw" signal action
should be happen before "begin-draw" signal handler is returned
NOTE 1) For texture sharing, creating a texture with
D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED_KEYEDMUTEX flag is strongly recommend
if possible because we cannot ensure sync a texture
which was created with D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED
and it would cause glitch with ID3D11VideoProcessor use case.
NOTE 2) Direct9Ex doesn't support texture sharing which was
created with D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED_KEYEDMUTEX. In other words,
D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED is the only option for Direct3D11/Direct9Ex interop.
NOTE 3) Because of missing synchronization around ID3D11VideoProcessor,
If shared texture was created with D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED,
d3d11videosink might use fallback texture to convert DXVA texture
to normal Direct3D texture. Then converted texture will be
copied to user-provided shared texture.
* Why not use generic appsink approach?
In order for application to be able to store video data
which was produced by GStreamer in application's own texture,
there would be two possible approaches,
one is copying our texture into application's own texture,
and the other is drawing on application's own texture directly.
The former (appsink way) cannot be a zero-copy by nature.
In order to support zero-copy processing, we need to draw on
application's own texture directly.
For example, assume that application wants RGBA texture.
Then we can imagine following case.
"d3d11h264dec ! d3d11convert ! video/x-raw(memory:D3D11Memory),format=RGBA ! appsink"
^
|_ allocate new Direct3D texture for RGBA format
In above case, d3d11convert will allocate new texture(s) for RGBA format
and then application will copy again the our RGBA texutre into
application's own texture. One texture allocation plus per frame GPU copy will hanppen
in that case therefore.
Moreover, in order for application to be able to access
our texture, we need to allocate texture with additional flags for
application's Direct3D11 device to be able to read texture data.
That would be another implementation burden on our side
But with this MR, we can configure pipeline in this way
"d3d11h264dec ! d3d11videosink".
In that way, we can save at least one texture allocation and
per frame texutre copy since d3d11videosink will convert incoming texture
into application's texture format directly without copy.
* What if we expose texture without conversion and application does
conversion by itself?
As mentioned above, for application to be able to access our texture
from application's Direct3D11 device, we need to allocate texture
in a special form. But in some case, that might not be possible.
Also, if a texture belongs to decoder DPB, exposing such texture
to application is unsafe and usual Direct3D11 shader cannot handle
such texture. To convert format, ID3D11VideoProcessor API needs to
be used but that would be a implementation burden for application.

The vabasedec's display and decoder are created/destroyed between
the gst_va_base_dec_open/close pair. All the data and event handling
functions are between this pair and so the accessing to these pointers
are safe. But the query function can be called anytime. So we need to:
1. Make these pointers operation in open/close and query atomic.
2. Hold an extra ref during query function to avoid it destroyed.

Initial support for d3d11 texture so that encoder can copy
upstream d3d11 texture into encoder's own texture pool without
downloading memory.
This implementation requires MFTEnum2() API for creating
MFT (Media Foundation Transform) object for specific GPU but
the API is Windows 10 desktop only. So UWP is not target
of this change.
See also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mfapi/nf-mfapi-mftenum2
Note that, for MF plugin to be able to support old OS versions
without breakage, this commit will load MFTEnum2() symbol
by using g_module_open()
Summary of required system environment:
- Needs Windows 10 (probably at least RS 1 update)
- GPU should support ExtendedNV12SharedTextureSupported feature
- Desktop application only (UWP is not supported yet)

Add the helper function _get_surface_id() which extracts the
VASurfaceID from the passed picture. This function gets the surface of
the next and previous reference picture.
Instead of if-statements, this refactor uses a switch-statement with a
fall-through, for P-type pictures, making the code a bit more readable.
Also it adds quirks for gallium driver, which cannot handle invalid
surfaces as forwarding nor backwarding references, so the function fails.
Also iHD cannot handle them, but to avoid failing, the current picture
is used as self-reference.

When missing the reference frames, we should not just discard the current
frame. Some streams have group of picture header. It is an optional header
that can be used immediately before a coded I-frame to indicate to the decoder
if the first consecutive B-pictures immediately following the coded I-frame can
be reconstructed properly in the case of a random access.
In that case, the B frames may miss the previous reference and can still be
correctly decoded. We also notice that the second field of the I frame may
be set to P type, and it only ref its first field.
We should not skip all those frames, and even the frame really misses the
reference frame, some manner such as inserting grey picture should be used
to handle these cases.
The driver crashes when it needs to access the reference picture while we set
forward_reference_picture or backward_reference_picture to VA_INVALID_ID. We
now set it to current picture to avoid this. This is just a temp manner.

The behavior for zero AVEncMPVGOPSize value would be
varying depending on GPU vendor implementation and some
GPU will produce keyframe only once at the beginning of encoding.
That's unlikely expected result for users.
To make this property behave consistently among various GPUs,
this commit will change default value of "gop-size" property to -1
which means "auto". When "gop-size" is unspecified, then
mfvideoenc will calculate GOP size based on framerate

"Lock desktop" and "Permission dialog"
- Multiple d3d11desktopdupsrc elements can capture the same monitor
Not yet implemented features

Summary of this commit:
* Now all native Direct3D11 resources are private of GstD3D11Memory.
To access native resources, getter methods need to be used

Unlike software MFT (Media Foundation Transform) which is synchronous
in terms of processing input and output data, hardware MFT works
in asynchronous mode. output data might not be available right after
we pushed one input data into MFT.
Note that async MFT will fire two events, one is "METransformNeedInput"
which happens when MFT can accept more input data,
and the other is "METransformHaveOutput", that's for signaling
there's pending data which can be outputted immediately.
To listen the events, we can wait synchronously via
IMFMediaEventGenerator::GetEvent() or make use of IMFAsyncCallback
object which is asynchronous way and the event will be notified
from Media Foundation's internal worker queue thread.
To handle such asynchronous operation, previous working flow was
as follows (IMFMediaEventGenerator::GetEvent() was used for now)
- Check if there is pending output data and push the data toward downstream.
- Pulling events (from streaming thread) until there's at least
one pending "METransformNeedInput" event
- Then, push one data into MFT from streaming thread
- Check if there is pending "METransformHaveOutput" again.
If there is, push new output data to downstream
(unlikely there is pending output data at this moment)
Above flow was processed from upstream streaming thread. That means
even if there's available output data, it could be outputted later
when the next buffer is pushed from upstream streaming thread.
It would introduce at least one frame latency in case of live stream.
To reduce such latency, this commit modifies the flow to be fully
asynchronous like hardware MFT was designed and to be able to
output encoded data whenever it's available. More specifically,
IMFAsyncCallback object will be used for handling
"METransformNeedInput" and "METransformHaveOutput" events from
Media Foundation's internal thread, and new output data will be
also outputted from the Media Foundation's thread.

Since GstVaDecodePicture is destroyed completely with its free() function and
it's used as destroy notify by codecs picture, there's no need to call
gst_va_decoder_destroy_buffers() externally, since the codecs base classes

Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1841>
The current way of GstVaDecodePicture's finalize will leak some
resource such as parameter buffers and slice data.
The current way deliberately leaves these resource releasing logic
to va decoder related function and trigger a warning if we free the
GstVaDecodePicture without releasing these resources.
But in practice, sometimes, you do not have the chance to release
these resource before picture is freed. For example, H264/Mpeg2
support multi slice NALs/Packets for one frame. It is possible that
we already succeed to parse and generate the first several slices
data by _decode_slice(), but then we get a wrong slice NAL/packet
and fail to parse it. We decide to discard the whole frame in the
decoder's base class, it just free the current picture and does not
trigger sub class's function again. In this kind of cases, we do
not have the chance to cleanup the resource, and the resource will
be leaked.

In order to honor GST_BUFFER_POOL_ACQUIRE_FLAG_DONTWAIT in VA pool, allocators'

An application, using for example appsink, can hold buffers from any
va allocator after setting the pipeline to NULL. We need to destroy
the allocator when that memory is unrefed.
This patch juggles a bit with the allocator reference count in
memories in order to achieve this:
1. When memory is created no alloc ref is modified
2. When memory is released, alloc ref is decreased
3. When memory is reassiged to a buffer, alloc ref is increased
4. When memory is flushed, alloc ref is increased becase it is going
to be decreased in gst_memory_unref()
Also this patch moves the deallocation of member variables to
finalize() rather than dispose()

force_videometa should mean that the buffer must use video meta to
map correctly. When the stride or the offset of the alloc_info is
different from the src caps, the downstream must use video meta.
So this flag should not link with the RAW caps only. All kinds of
caps(memory:VAMemory, memory:DMABuf) should have this flag.

When the downstream element reports an ANY caps, and it also fails to
support VideoMeta, we should fallback to the system memory.
Note: the basetransform kind elements never return valid allocation
query before set_caps(). So, if a basetransform return an ANY sink
caps, we always fallback to system memory for it.

In our va implemenation, we just use image's info to map the buffer.
The padding info just plays a role as a place holder to expand the
allocation size in caps when decoding size is bigger than display
size. So the padding_right or padding_left does not change the result.
But we find if using padding_left, it is hard to meet the requirement

Output texture of d3d11 decoder cannot have the bind flag
D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE (meaning that it cannot be used for shader
input resource). So d3d11convert (and it's subclasses) was copying
texture into another internal texture to use d3d11 shader.
It's obviously overhead and we can avoid texture copy for
colorspace conversion or resizing via ID3D11VideoProcessor
as it supports decoder output texture.
This commit would be a visible optimization for d3d11 decoder with

In order to know the chroma format, besides profile, subsampling_x and

Also, bit_depth is available in parser but not frame header. Evenmore, those

In case of VA-API, to configure the pipeline, it is require to know the chroma

It is possible to know chroma and depth through caps coming from vp9parser, but
it requires string parsing. It would be less error prone to get these values

Since allocators keep an available memory queue to reuse, video format and usage
hint are now persistant while allocator's memories are around.
This patch adds _set_format() and _get_format() for both VA allocators.
_set_format() validates if given format can be used or reused. If no allocated
surface previously it creates a dummy one to fetch its offsets and
strides. Updated info is returned to callee.
GstVaPool uses _set_format() at config to verify the allocator capacity and to
get the surfaces offsets and strides, which are going to be used by the video
meta.
Allocator extracted caps are compared with caps from config and if they have
different strides or offsets, force_videometa is set.
A new bufferpool method gst_va_pool_requires_video_meta() is added return the
value of force_videometa. This value is checked in order to know if decoders
need to copy the surface if downstream doesn't announce video meta support.

Without preallocating buffers and memories a deadlock in pool allocator is
highly probably since it might hit the case were buffer is returned to the pool
but their memories are still hold by a copy downstream, without other
preallocated buffers available.
This kind of a hack, where buffer_reset() follow the normal path if it's called
from start().
