It looks like libv4l2 support for CREATE_BUF is incomplete. That
combine with existing bugs may lead to crash in GStreamer. These
check will make it robust by:
- Checking create buf index isn't an already in used index
- Checking that the index out of QUERYBUF matches the requested
index
Right now we try to be clever by detecting if device format have
changed or not, and skip setting format in this case. This is valid
behaviour with V4L2, but it's also very error prone. The rational
for not setting these all the time is for speed, though I can't
measure any noticeable gain on any HW I own. Also, until recently,
we where doing get/set on the format for each format we where
probing, making it near to impossible that the format would match.
This also fixes bug where we where skipping frame-rate setting if
format didn't change.

If v4l2_buffer.field is V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED, we set corresponding
GstVideoBuffer flags depending on the video standard.
According to V4L2 specification, M/NTSC transmits the bottom field
first, all other standards the top field first.

When libv4l2 emulates RW mode on top of MMAP devices, the queues are
only initialized on first read. The problem is that poll() will fail
if called before the queues are initialized and streaming. Workaround
this by doing a zero size read when pool is started in that IO mode.

This patch fixes CREATE_BUFS support for capture devices. Initially we
would only try and allocate more buffers when the copy threshold
is reached. When the threshold was not set (needed) it would never
happen. Another problem is that on capture side, acquire returns
filled buffer, hence need to pool. We need to set a special flag to
force allocation to happen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741134
This allow skipping buffer flagged with ERROR that has no payload.
This is typical behaviour when a recovererable error occured during
capture in the driver, but that no valid data was ever written into that
buffer. This patch also translate V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR into
GST_BUFFER_FLAG_CORRUPTED. Hence decoding error produce
by decoder due to missing frames will now be correctly marked. Finally,
this fixes a buffer leak when EOS is reached.

If the v4l2 queue support dmabuf select this buffer pool mode
and update the query with allocator.
This patch only concern exporting dmabuf and not importing dmabuf
fd from downstream element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699382
Improve buffer validation by making sure each memory are the right
one and that each memory is writable. This fixes tearing issues in
case downstream uses gst_buffer_make_writable() or other type
of GstBuffer copy where memory are only reffed.

Rather than try and guess interlace support as part of checking supported
sizes, look for interlace support specifically in its own function.
As a cleanup, use V4L2_FIELD_ANY when probing sizes, which should result in
the driver doing the right thing.
With my capture setup, this gets me the following sample caps:
For 1080i resolution:
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string)interleaved, framerate=(fraction){ 25/1, 30/1 }
For 720p resolution:
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)1280, height=(int)720, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string)progressive, framerate=(fraction){ 50/1, 60/1 }
For 576i/p resolution (both possible at the point of query):
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)720, height=(int)576, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string){ progressive, interleaved }, framerate=(fraction){ 25/1, 50/1 }
This, in turn, makes 576i work correctly; with the old code,
the caps would be interlace-mode=progressive for interlaced video.

On streamon failure, the queued buffer is not released from the
bufferpool class point of view because it is queued to the driver and
the flush logic is not performed since we are not in streaming state.
It causes the v4l2 bufferpool to always return that stop method failed
and to leak v4l2 objects and buffers.
This commit solve this by performing the flush logic in error case, ie
flushing the allocator and restoring queued buffer state to non-queued.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738102
This will prevent deadlocks, but will also properly flush the pool and allocator
when going to READY state. It should also fix issues reported on mailing list
when seeking is performed.

When the v4l2 device is an output device, the application shall set the
colorspace. So map GStreamer colorimetry info to V4L2 colorspace and set
on set_format. In case we have no colorimetry information, we try to
guess it according to pixel format and video size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737579
This will prevent the converter to be picked automatically in case
someone implement dynamic converter selection support. I'd like this
to be ranked only for known device, as it's hard to be sure a device is
a converter suited for general purpose. Re-negotiation is also needed
before we can rank it.

Even though the UVC driver do a great deal of effort to prevent bad
timestamp to be sent to userspace, there still exist UVC hardware that
are so buggy that the timestamp endup nearly random. This code detect
and ignore timestamp from these drivers, making these camera usable.
This has been tested on both invalid and valid cameras, making sure it
does not trigger for valid cameras.

There is still around 18 drivers not yet ported to videobuf2. These driver
don't support freeing buffetrs through REQBUFS(0) hence for these the
memory type probing fails. In order to gain back our previous behaviour in
presence of these, we implement a workaround that assuming MMAP is
supported. Note that an allocator is only created for device with
STREAMING support in the device capabilities. In such case one of MMAP,
USERPTR and DMABUF is required. Though DMABUF came afterward, so is
not an option and in practice none of these drivers will only do USERPTR.

Since we can get the minimum number of buffers needed by an output
device to work, use it to set min_latency which will determine how many
buffers are queued.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736072
Most V4L2 ioctls like try_fmt will adjust input fields to match what the
hardware can do rather then returning -EINVAL. As is docmented here:
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/vidioc-g-fmt.html
EINVAL is only returned if the buffer type field is invalid or not supported.
So upon requesting V4L2_FIELD_NONE devices which can only do interlaced
mode will change the field value to e.g. V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM as only returning
half the lines is the closest they can do to progressive modes.
In essence this means that we've failed to get a (usable) progessive mode
and should fall back to interlaced mode.
This commit adds a check for having gotten a usable field value after the first
try_fmt, to force fallback to interlaced mode even if the try_fmt succeeded,
thereby fixing get_nearest_size failing on these devices.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735660
They may have been modified by the ioctl even if it failed. This also makes
the S_FMT fallback path try progressive first, making it consistent with the
preferred TRY_FMT path.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735660
If the minimum required buffer exceed V4L2 capacity, don't share down
pool. This allow support very high latency, like with x264enc default
encoding settings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732288
Some v4l2 devices could require a minimum buffers different from default
values. Rather than blindly propose a pool with min-buffers set to the
default value, it ask the device using control ioctl.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733750
These checks are no longer required with recent change to the bufferpool. This
should allow changing the configuartion, hence the way forward renegotiation
support.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728268
We cannot allocate new buffer in acquire, otherwise the base class
is not aware and get confused. Instead, copy in _process(). This leads
to crash on finalize.
Fixes regression, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732912
Parenting V4l2Memory to DmabufMemory was in conflict with recent
optimization in DmabufMemory to avoid dup(), and didn't work with
memory sharing. Instead, use a qdata and it's destroy notify.
