In fact, all the h264 bit writer have byte aligned output except
the slice header. So we change the API from bit size in unit to
byte size, which is easy to use. For slice header, we add a extra
"trail_bits_num" to return the unaligned bits number.

Handle when encoder doesn't support rate control, which is set as

The entrypoint is set when the encoder helper is constructed,
nonetheless it was also passed as parameter when opening. That's
buggy.
In order to simplify the code, the entrypoint at construction is
honored.
But gst_va_encoder_has_profile_and_entrypoint() now doesn't rely in
the internal list of profiles since it only contains those that
belongs to codec and entrypoint, thus it queries directly the VA
driver.

The AV1 support multi spatial layers within one TU with different
resolutions, and only the highest spatial layer need to be output.
For example, there are two spatial layer, base level is 800x600
and higher level is 1920x1080. We need to decode both because the
higher level needs base layer as reference, but we only need to output
1920x1080 frames here.
The current manner always renegotiates the caps once we detect the
current picture resolution changes, so we renegotiate again and
again between different layers. That's a big waste and has very
low performance. We now only do the renegotiation for the highest
output layer. For other non output layers, we just keep a internal
buffer pool which is big enough to handle the surface allocation.

The current handle_frame() does not return the real error that happens
in decode_scan and decode_frame, which makes the pipeline continue with

Radeon mesa gallium driver has a bug which adds P010_10LE sink caps

This patch adds general mechanism for handling specific hacks. In this
case for jpeg decoder in i965 driver, which cannot create surfaces
with fourcc specified.
From jpeg decoder to the allocator, which creates the surfaces,
there's a non-simple path: basedec pseudo-class adds a hacks guint32
which will be set by actual elements (vajpegdec, in this case) and
basedec will always set the hack to the allocator when the allocator
is instantiated.

Given the supported rt formats in a profile/entrypoint config it's
possible to know the supported JPEG colorspace and subsampling. This

This base class is intented for hardware accelerated decoders, but since
only VA uses it, it will be kept internally in va plugin.
It follows the same logic as the others video decoders in the library but.
as JPEG are independet images, there's no need to handle a DBP so no need
of a picture object. Instead a scan object is added with all the structures
required to decode the image (huffman and quant tables, mcus, etc.).

Currently, video format is decided with downstream caps intersection,
but that's not correct since chroma is not considered. The video
decoders have to decide the output format given the used chroma, not
by the downstream caps negotiation.
This patch changes that. Still, caps feature is selected by caps
negotiation, then, with the preferred caps feature, the output format
is search within that caps feature.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2569>
We should not reset the input/output_frame_count when some configure
changes. For example, the if resolution changes, the current way just
resets the frame count and make the PTS of the output buffer restart
from the original PTS of the first frame. That causes a lot of QOS
event and drop all the new frames.
We should only reset them when encoder start().

If the stream chroma doesn't match with any video format in the source
caps template (generated from va config surface formats) instead of
return unknown, return the first available format in the template,
assuming that the driver would be capable to do color conversions.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2404>
Instead of using a hard-coded list of preferred formats according the
chroma type, now if now caps are pre-negotiated, from template caps
will choose the first format with the same chroma type. If
pre-negotiated, then it will choose the first format, with same chroma
type, from the first caps structure.
Also all the decoders will check if GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKNOWN is
returned, failing the negotiation.

When we fixup src caps, the current way of handling the HDR fields is not
correct.
1. We trim the HDR fields only when the input caps is not a subset of the
fixup src caps. But in fact, the input caps with HDR fields such as the
"mastering-display-info" can possibly be the subset of the fixup src caps,
if they have all same other fields.
2. We always copy the colorimetry from input caps to src caps if it is
absent. But when hdr-tone-mapping is enabled, the HDR->SDR conversion makes
the colorimetry change. We should use downstream's setting, or just use the
default colorimetry of SDR.
We changes to:
1. If hdr-tone-mapping is enabled, we trim all HDR fields and add a correct
colorimetry.
2. Copy colorimetry from input if it is still absent.
3. Consider the subset replacement.

The current way names the level by the number of B frames it contains, the
less it contains, the higher level it is. So the non ref B frames are in the
lowest layer and the B frames in the highest level refer to I/P frames.
But the widely used way is just the opposite, the ref B frames are in the
lower level and non ref B frames are at the highest level.
The is just a terminology change, and does not have any effect for compression
result and quality.

By default, the classification is

In order to other plugins use gstva objects, such as allocators and buffer
pools, this merge request move them from the va plugin to the gstva library.
This objects are not exposed in <gst/va/gstva.h> since they are not expected
to be used by users, only by plugin implementators.
Because of the surface copy design, which is used to implement allocator's
mem_copy() virtual function, depends on the vafilter, which is kept inside
the plugin, memory copy through VAPosproc is disabled and removed temporarly.
Also added some missing parameter validation.

Some problematic H265 stream may miss the reference frame in the DPB,

So there may be empty entries in ref_pic_list0/1 when passing to

Pass the current frame to the duplicate_picture callback. This makes it easier
to set the frame's output_buffer if we already have one available. Also
documented that unlike VP9, it is not optional to implement this as the

default implementation.

Currently for copying the coded buffer onto a GStreamer buffer, the
coded buffer is mapped two times: one for getting the size, and later

This a new VA-API implementation of a H264 encoder.
It can control the GOP and parameter settings, while the MV searching,

It supports most of the common usage options in H264, but still lacks
of look ahead, field, B frame weighted prediction, etc.

This patch adds a new parameter: hdr-tone-mapping (same as
vaapipostproc), if the HDR capabilites are availabe in driver, and
it's disabled by default.
If hdr-tone-mapping is enabled then HDR fields in sink caps are
processed in frames from HDR to SDR, removing those hdr fields in
source pad caps too.
hdr-tone-mapping is not enabled if a color conversion is also
requested, since it fails to process in the iHD driver, so far.

It's almost pointless and makes little sense as subclass might

Intel drivers expose some colorbalance's maximum values much more
bigger than their minimum values, given their middle values (default
value). This means, in practice, that the real middle point between
the maximum and minimum values implies a major change in the color
balance, which is not expected by the GStreamer color balance logic.
This patch makes the given maximum value symmetrical to the minimum
value, given the middle one (default value).

When fixating color, there might be "other caps" with color spaces not
supported by the caps features exposed in the vapostproc's source pad
caps template (perhaps it's a bug somewhere else in GStreamer).
This solution checks if the proposed format exists in the filter
within the caps feature associated with the proposed format.
The check is done with the new filter's function
gst_va_filter_has_video_format().

The current code does not set the copied memory correctly when it is popped
from the surface cache pool.
1. We forget to ref the allocator, which causes the allocator to be freed
unexpected, and we get a crash later because of the memory violation.
2. We forget to add ref_mems_count, which causes the surface leak because
the surface can not be pushed back to the cache pool again.

Delay decoders downstream negotiation just before an output frame
needs to be allocated.
This is required, are least for H.264 and H.265 decoders, since
codec_data might trigger a new sequence before finishing upstream
negotiation, and sink pad caps need to set before setting source pad
caps, particularly to forward HDR fields. The other decoders are
changed too in order to keep the same structure among them.

Using GstBaseDec hack to access the parent_object of each element in
the element itself is a bit fragile. It would be better to keep its

gst_va_fixate_format() will iterate all othercaps' structures to find
the one with less information lost at color conversion. If a structure
with same color format is found, the iteration stops. It's like a
smart truncation. Then, this function also will choose the caps
feature.
Later this structure is used fixate its size and no further truncation
is needed.
Don't intersect at fixate, since it kills possible resizing.

At gst_va_dmabuf_allocator_setup_buffer_full, static code analysis tool
does not know number of objects in descriptor is always larger than 0 if
export_surface_to_dmabuf succeeds. Thus, the tool will assume buf is

gst_va_vpp_complete_caps_features() now receives the @feature_name to
add and return if @caps doesn't provide it.
So, instead of two nested loops, now the function is a single loop,
traversing @caps to find if each structure already contains the requested
@features_name.
It's important to add missing caps features with @caps, in order to
not lost information.
