1\ If downstream's pool is MSDK bufferpool,
2\ If there's shared GstMsdkContext in the pipeline,
a decoder decides to use video memory.
This policy should be improved to handle more cases.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
In case that pipeline is like ".. ! decoder ! encoder ! ..." with using
video memory,
decoder needs to know the async depth of the following msdk element so
that it could
allocate the correct number of video memory.
Otherwise, decoder's memory is exhausted while processing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
How to share/create GstMsdkcontext is the following:
- Search GstMsdkContext if there's in the pipeline.
- If found, check if it's decoder, encoder or vpp by job type.
- If it's same job type, it creates another instance of
GstMsdkContext
with joined-session.
- Otherwise just use the shared GstMsdkContext.
- If not found, just creates new instance of GstMsdkContext.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
According to the driver's instruction, if there are two or more encoders
or decoders in a process, the session should be joined by
MFXJoinSession.
To achieve this successfully by GstContext, this patch adds job type
specified if it's encoder, decoder or vpp.
If a msdk element gets to know if joining session is needed by the
shared context,
it should create another instance of GstContext with joined session,
which
is not shared.

1\ In decide_allocation, it makes its own msdk bufferpool.
- If downstream supports video meta, it just replace it with the msdk
bufferpool.
- If not, it uses the msdk bufferpool as a side pool, which will be
decoded into.
and will copy it to downstream's bufferpool.
2\ Decide if using video memory or system memory.
- This is not completed in this patch.
- It might be decided in update_src_caps.
- But tested for both system memory and video memory cases.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
1\ Proposes msdk bufferpool to upstream.
- If upstream has accepted the proposed msdk bufferpool,
encoder can get msdk surface from the buffer directly.
- If not, encoder get msdk surface its own msdk bufferpool
and copy from upstream's frame to the surface.
2\ Replace arrays of surfaces with msdk bufferpool.
3\ In case of using VPP, there should be another msdk bufferpool
with NV12 info so that it could convert first and encode.
Calls gst_msdk_set_frame_allocator and uses video memory only on linux.
and uses system memory on Windows until d3d allocator is implemented.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
Implements 2 memory allocators:
1\ GstMsdkSystemAllocator: This will allocate system memory.
2\ GstMsdkVideoAllocator: This will allocate device memory depending
on the platform. (eg. VASurface)
Currently GstMsdkBufferPool uses video allocator currently by default
only on linux. On Windows, we should use system memory until d3d
allocator
is implemented.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
Implements msdk frame allocator which is required from the driver.
Also makes these functions global so that GstMsdkAllocator could use
the allocated video memory later and couple with GstMsdkMemory.
GstMsdkContext keeps allocation information such as mfxFrameAllocRequest
and mfxFrameAllocResponse after allocation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
Makes GstMsdkContext to be a descendant of GstObject so that
we could track the life-cycle of the session of the driver.
Also replaces MsdkContext with this one.
Keeps msdk_d3d.c alive for the future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
If the driver requires more data, just unref the frame at the moment
then retreive/finish the frame after encoding is finished.
This also fixes a memory leak.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790312
Set the pts and dts on the frame that we receive from the msdk.
Also fix the inverted logic in setting sync points, previously we
were marking all frames as sync points except IDRs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782801
In some places a GST_FLOW_FLUSHING result was return as a FALSE
gboolean and then returned from a parent function as
GST_FLOW_ERROR. This prevented seeking from working.
