Because the decoder uses the thread from handle_frame() to decode a frame,
the src pad task creates an unsolveable AB-BA deadlock between
handle_frame() waiting for a free surface and decode_loop() pushing
decoded frames out.
Instead, have handle_frame() take responsibility for pushing surfaces,
and remove the deadlock completely. If you need a separate thread
downstream, you can insert a queue between vaapidecode and its downstream
to get one.
Another justification for the single thread implementation is,
there are two many point of locking in gstreamer-vaapi's current
implementation which can lead to deadlocks.

vaapidecode keeps an output state that use the format
GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_ENCODED, while it crafts a different src caps
for a correct negotiation.
I don't see the rational behind this decoupling, it looks like
unnecessary complexity. This patch simplify this logic keeping
in sync the output state and the src caps.
This patch improves the readability of the function
gst_vaapidecode_update_src_caps() and simplify its logic. Also,
the patch validates if the buffer pool has the configuration for
the GL texture upload meta, in order to set the caps feature
meta:GLTextureUpload. Otherwise, the I420 format is set back.

When vaapidecode finishes the decoding of a frame and pushes it,
if, in the decide_allocation() method, it is determined if the
next element supports the GL texture upload meta feature, the
decoder adds the buffer's meta.
Nonetheless, in the same spirit of the commit 71d3ce4d, the
determination if the next element supports the GL texture upload
meta needs to check both the preferred caps feature *and* if the
allocation query request the API type.
This patch, first removes the unused variable need_pool, and
determines the attribute has_texture_upload_meta using the
preferred caps feature *and* the allocation query.
Also, the feature passed to GstVaapPluginBase is not longer
determined by has_texture_upload_meta, but by the computed
preferred one.

Currently the src caps are set immediately after the sink caps are set, but in
that moment the pipeline might not fully constructed and the video sink has
not negotiated its supported caps and features. As a consequence, in many cases
of playback, the least optimized caps feature is forced. This is partially the
responsible of bug #744039.
Also, vaapidecode doesn't attend the reconfigure events from downstream,
which is a problem too, since the video sink can be changed with different
caps features.
This patch delays the src caps, setting them until the first frame arrives to
the decoder, assuming until that very moment the whole pipeline is already
negotiated. Particularly, it checks if the src pad needs to be reconfigured,
as a consequence of a reconfiguration event from downstream.
A key part of this patch is the new GstVaapiCapsFeature
GST_VAAPI_CAPS_FEATURE_NOT_NEGOTIATED, which is returned when the src pad
doesn't have a peer yet. Also, for a better report of the caps allowed
through the src pad and its peer, this patch uses gst_pad_get_allowed_caps()
instead of gst_pad_peer_query_caps() when looking for the preferred feature.
v3: move the input_state unref to close(), since videodecoder resets at
some events such as navigation.
v4: a) the state_changed() callback replaces the input_state if the media
changed, so this case is also handled.
b) since the parameter ref_state in gst_vaapidecode_update_src_caps() is
always the input_state, the parameter were removed.
c) there were a lot of repeated code handling the input_state, so I
refactored it with the function gst_vaapi_decode_input_state_replace().

Some frameworks (EFL) expect BGRA textures for storage. However,
adding support for that broadly into GStreamer framework implies
two kinds of hacks: (i) libgstgl helpers currently do not support
BGRA textures correctly, (ii) we need to better parse downstream
suggested caps and intersect them with what the VA plugin elements
can offer to them for GL texturing.
Add initial support for EGL through GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta.
Fix gst_vaapi_ensure_display() to allocate a GstVaapiDisplay off the
downstream supplied GstGLContext configuration, i.e. use its native

Reset the VA decoder after updating the base plugin caps, and most
importantly, after GstVideoDecoder negotiation. The reason behind
this is that the negotiation could trigger a last decide_allocation()
where we could actually derive a new GstVaapiDisplay to use from the
downstream element. e.g. GLX backend.
Query caps filtering should be always done on top of allowed caps instead
of existing fixed caps on a particular pad.
This fixes the mvc stream decoding when there is a base view(high profile)
and non-base view(stereo-high profile).
According to documentation[1] when receiving a GST_QUERY_CAPS
the return value should be all formats that this elements supports,
taking into account limitations of peer elements further downstream
or upstream, sorted by order of preference, highest preference first.
This patch add those limitations intersecting with the received
filter in the query. Also takes into account the already negotiated
caps. Also adds the processing of the query on the SRC pad.

Make sure that the GstVaapiPluginBase instance receives the new src

Split GstVideoDecoder::set_format() handler to first update the sink
pad caps and reset the active VA decoder instance based on those, and
then update the src pad caps whenever possible, e.g. when the caps
specify a valid video resolution.
In the current implementation, gst_video_info_set_format() would reset
the whole GstVideoInfo structure first, prior to setting video format
and size. So, coleteral information like framerate or pixel-aspect-
ratio are lost.

this issue, i.e. only have it change the format and video size, and
copy over the rest of the fields.

Add a default decide_allocation() hook to GstVaapiPluginBase. The caps
feature argument can be used to force a bufferpool with a specific kind
of memory.
The gst_vaapidecode_decode_loop() function is called within a separate
task to fetch and output all frames that were decoded so far. So, if
the decoder_loop_status is forcibly set to EOS when _finish() is called,
then we are bound to exist the task without submitting the pending
frames.
If the downstream element error'ed out, then the gst_pad_push() would
propagate up an error and so we will get it right for cutting off
_finish() early in that case.
This is a regression from 6003596.

Rework the logics behind the configuration of an adequate bufferpool,

This is a temporary workaround.
Always add VideoAlignment bufferpool option if the downstream element

However, the default behaviour remains the auto-plugging of vaapi

When playbin/decodebin builds the pipeline, it puts decoders and sinks
into different bins and forwards the queries from bins to bins. So in
the initials steps the pipeline is built iteratively by playbin and
looks like this :
[filesrc]
[filesrc] -> [typefind]
[filesrc] -> [typefind] -> [demuxer]
[filesrc] -> [typefind] -> [demuxer] -> [decoder]
At this point the decoder is asked for its SRC caps and it will make a
choice based on what gst_pad_peer_query_caps() returns. The problem is
that the caps returns at that point includes caps features like ANY,
essentially because playbin can plug in additional elements like
videoscale, videoconv or deinterlace.
This patch adds a another call to
gst_vaapi_find_preferred_caps_feature() when the decoder decides its

The srcpad caps exposed for GStreamer 1.2 were missing any useful info
like framerate, pixel-aspect-ratio, interlace-mode et al. Not to mention
that it relied on possibly un-initialized data. Fix srcpad caps to be
initialized from a sanitized copy of GstVideoDecoder output state caps.
Note: the correct way to expose the srcpad caps triggers an additional
issue in core GStreamer auto-plugging capabilities as the correct caps
to be exposed should be format=ENCODED with memory:VASurface caps feature
at the minimum. In some situations, we could determine the underlying
VA surface format, but this is not always possible. e.g. cases where it
is not allowed to expose the underlying VA surface data, or when the
VA driver implementation cannot actually provide such information.
Currently, the decoder only supports YUV 4:2:0 output. So, expose the
output formats for GStreamer 1.2 in caps to a realistic subset. This
means NV12, I420 or YV12 but also ENCODED if we cannot determine the
underlying VA surface format, or if it is actually not allowed to get
access to the surface contents.
Fix vaapidecode srcpad caps to only expose RGBA video format for the

Update plugin elements with the new GstVaapiVideoMeta API.
This also fixes support for subpictures/overlay because GstVideoDecoder
generates a sub-buffer from the GstVaapiVideoBuffer. So, that sub-buffer
is marked as read-only. However, when comes in the textoverlay element
for example, it checks whether the input buffer is writable. Since that
buffer read-only, then a new GstBuffer is created. Since gst_buffer_copy()
does not preserve the parent field, the generated buffer in textoverlay
is not exploitable because we lost all VA specific information.
Now, with GstVaapiVideoMeta information attached to a standard GstBuffer,
all information are preserved through gst_buffer_copy() since the latter
does copy metadata (qdata in this case).
Fix calculation of the time-out value for cases where no VA surface is
available for decoding. In this case, we need to wait until downstream
sink consumed at least one surface. The time-out was miscalculated as
it was always set to <current-time> + one second, which is not suitable
for streams with larger gaps.
Don't call gst_video_decoder_drop_frame() if gst_video_decoder_finish_frame()
was already called before and it returned an error. In that case, we were
releasing the frame again, thus leading to a "double-free" condition.
Maintain decoded surfaces as GstVideoCodecFrame objects instead of
GstVaapiSurfaceProxy objects. The latter will tend to be reduced to

GstVaapiSurfaceProxy does not use any particular functionality from
GObject. Actually, it only needs a basic object type with reference
counting.
This is an API and ABI change.
The use of heap allocated GMutex/GCond is deprecated. Instead place them
inside the structure they are locking.
These changes switch to use g_mutex_init/g_cond_init rather than the heap
allocation functions.
Because we cannot test for a NULL pointer for the GMutex/GCond we must
initialise inside the GObject _init function and clear inside the _finalize
which is guaranteed to only be called once and after the object is no longer
in use.
Don't care of the return value for gst_vaapi_decoder_put_buffer()
during destruction of the element. Don't print out (uninitialised)
error code when allocation of video buffer failed.
Reset, i.e. destroy then create, the decoder in _setcaps() handler only
if the underlying codec type actually changed. This makes it possible
to be more tolerant with certain MPEG-2 streams that get parsed to
form caps that are compatible with the previous state but minor changes
to "codec-data".
Add new gst_vaapi_codec_from_caps() helper to determine codec type from
the specified caps. Don't globally expose this function since this is
really trivial and only used in the vaapidecode element.
Previously, vaapidecode would wait up to one second until a free surface
is available, or it aborts decoding. Now, vaapidecode waits until the
last decoded surface was to be presented, plus one second. Besides, end
times are now expressed relative to the monotonic clock.
When playback stops the GstVaapiDecode object is reset into a clean
state. However, surfaces may still be referenced by library users and
unreferencing them after the reset triggers an access to an unset mutex.

If vaapisink is in the GStreamer pipeline, then we shall allocate a
unique GstVaapiDisplay and propagate it upstream. i.e. subsequent
queries from vaapidecode shall get a valid answer from vaapisink.
This flag is obsolete. It was meant to explicitly enable/disable VA/GLX API
support, or fallback to TFP+FBO if this API is not found. Now, we check for
the VA/GLX API by default if --enable-glx is set. If this API is not found,
we now default to use TFP+FBO.
Note: TFP+FBO, i.e. using vaPutSurface() is now also a deprecated usage and
will be removed in the future. If GLX rendering is requested, then the VA/GLX
API shall be used as it covers most usages. e.g. AMD driver can't render to
an X pixmap yet.
GStreamer codecparsers-based decoders are the only supported decoders now.
Though, FFmpeg decoders are still available in gstreamer-vaapi 0.3.x series.
Bump GStreamer required version to 0.10.14, needed for
gst_element_class_set_details_simple().

Fix typo whereby plain VADisplay type was used instead of the GstVaapiDisplay
wrapper.

Try to gracefully abort when the HW does not support the requested
profile. There is no fallback unless profiles are correctly parsed
and matched through caps beforehand.
Rationale: playbin2 links all elements at run-time. Once vaapidecode
is created and a NEWSEGMENT event arrives, downstream element may not
be ready yet. So, delay this event until next element is chained in,
otherwise basesink could output "Received buffer without a new-segment.
Assuming timestamps start from 0".

Propagate "interlaced" caps downstream and set "tff" buffer flag
appropriately to output buffers for interlaced pictures.

Otherwise, the decoder would always create its own X display instead
of probing it from the downstream element, which is not reliable.
e.g. DISPLAY is not :0 or when running on Wayland.

With the new video/x-surface abstraction, we can't rely on having a VA
specific sink downstream. Also, there was no particular reason to do that.

This new interface allows for upstream and downstream display sharing
that works in both static and dynamic pipelines.
