The following case can happen when two thread try to activate and
deactivate a pad at the same time:
T1: starts to deactivate, calls pre_activate(), sets in_activation
to TRUE and carries on
T2: starts to activate, calls pre_activate(), in_activation is TRUE
so it waits on the GCond
T1: calls post_activate(), tries to acquire the streaming lock ..
but can't because T2 is currently holding it
With this patch, the deadlock will no longer happen but does not
solve the problem that:
T2: will resume activation of the pad, set the pad mode to the target
one (PUSH or PULL) and eventually the streaming lock gets released.
T1: is able to finish calling post_activate() ... but ... the pad
wasn't deactivated (T2 was the last one to "activate" the pad.

When actually pushing an event, if we get GST_FLOW_CUSTOM_SUCCESS_1
(which is the conversion of GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED return value),
don't consider the stick event push as ignored, but as handled
If multiple probes are set on a pad and one probe returns either
GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED or GST_PAD_PROBE_DROPPED we need to stop
calling the remaining probes.

The following could happen previously:
* T1: calls gst_pad_set_active()
* T2: currently (de)activating it
* T1: gst_pad_set_active() returns, caller assumes that the pad has
completed the requested (de)activation ... whereas it is not
the case since the actual (de)activation in T2 might still be
going on.
To ensure atomicity of pad (de)activation, we use a internal
variable (and cond) to ensure only one thread at a time goes through
the actual (de)activation block
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790431
checking whether we already were in the target GstPadMode was being
done too early and there was the risk that we *would* end up
(de)activating a pad more than once.
Instead, re-do the check for pad mode when entering the final pad
(de)activation block.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790431
Without the former, event changes (e.g. setting a pad offset) does not
take effect for the current buffer but only for the next one. Without
the latter, non-blocking event probes would not see any updated events
yet.
After b76ecfd992 introduced
GST_PAD_FLAG_ACCEPT_TEMPLATE, the performance penalty this
message is refering to (the cascading ACCEPT_CAPS query)
only applies to the cases where !GST_PAD_IS_ACCEPT_TEMPLATE
Enable it to prevent sending reconfigure when linking elements.
Useful for autoplugging when we know caps or bufferpools shouldn't change
to save doing caps renegotiation to end up with the same final scenario.
The no-reconfigure is not a proper check, it is a flag. It is implemented
as a GstPadLinkCheck to avoid creating another gst_pad_link variant.

A new event which precedes EOS in situations where we
need downstream to unblock any pads waiting on a stream
before we can send EOS. E.g, decodebin draining a chain
so it can switch pads.

If there is only one pad in the internal pads, when folding for
LATENCY queries it will just drop the response if it's not live.
This is maybe not the proper fix, but it will just accept the first
peer responses, and if there are any other pads, it will only take
them into account if the response is live.
This *should* properly handle the aggregation/folding behaviour of
multiple live peer responses, while at the same time handling the
simple one-pad-only-and-forward use-case
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766360
When activating a pad in PULL mode, it might already be in PUSH mode. We now
first try to deactivate it from PUSH mode and then try to activate it in PULL
mode. If the activation fails, we would set the pad to flushing and set it
back to its old mode. However the old mode is wrong, the pad is not in PUSH
mode anymore but in NONE mode.
This fixes e.g. typefind in decodebin reactivating PUSH/PULL mode if upstream
actually fails to go into PULL mode after first PUSHING data to typefind.
Updated the GST_REFCOUNTING logging so that it includes the pointer
address of the object that is being disposed or finalized.
With this change is is then possible to match up GST_REFCOUNTING log messages
for object allocation/disposal/finalization. This can help with diagnosing
"memory leaks" in applications that have not correctly disposed of all the
GStreamer objects it creates.

PUSH and PULL mode have opposite scenarios for IDLE and BLOCK
probes.
For PUSH it will BLOCK with some data type and IDLE won't have a type.
For PULL it will BLOCK before getting some data and will be IDLE when
some data is obtained.
The check in hook_marshall was specific for PUSH mode and would cause
PULL probes to fail to be called. Adding different checks for the mode
to fix this issue.

When going from READY to NULL all element pads are deactivated. If
simultaneously the pad is being removed from the element with
gst_element_remove_pad() and the pad is unparented, there is a race
where the deactivation will assert (g_critical) if the parent is lost at
the wrong time.
The proposed fix will check parent only once and retain it to avoid the
race.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761912
Validate that the proxy pad indeed accepts the caps by also
comparing with the pad template caps, otherwise when the pad
had no internally linked pads it would always return true.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754112
Instead of re-sending sticky events over and over to a not-linked
pad, mark them as sent the first time. If the not-linked came from
downstream, it already received the events. If the pad is actually
not-linked, the sticky events will be rescheduled when the
pad is linked anyway.
Keep tracer base class in tracer and move core support into the utils module.
Add a unstable-api guard to the tracer.h so that external modules would need to
acknowledge the status by setting GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API.
A proxy-pad should always proxy the caps related queries
and events to its down or upstream peers on the other side
of the element. Falling back to a caps query seems wrong.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754112
In some cases, probes might want to handle the buffer/event/query
themselves and stop the data from travelling further downstream.
While this was somewhat possible with buffer/events and using
GST_PROBE_DROP, it was not applicable to queries, and would result
in the query failing.
With this new GST_PROBE_HANDLED value, the buffer/event/query will
be considered as successfully handled, will not be pushed further
and the appropriate return value (TRUE or GST_FLOW_OK) will be returned
This also allows probes to return a non-default GstFlowReturn when dealing
with buffer push. This can be done by setting the
GST_PAD_PROBE_INFO_FLOW_RETURN() field accordingly
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748643
It will make the default accept-caps handler use the pad template
caps instead of the query-caps result to check if the caps is
acceptable. This is aligned with what the design docs says the
accept-caps should do (be non-recursive) and should be faster. It
is *not* enabled by default, though.
