gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_flush() executes streamoff for the output, but
streamoff->streamon for the capture of the decoder.
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_streamon() on capture assumes that is able to
resurrect the buffers from the pool, but acquiring buffers fails if the
buffer pool is still flushing.
The decoder needs to stop flushing the pools before calling
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_flush() to restart the v4l2 device. Otherwise
starting the decoding thread might fail, because there are no buffers in
the capture pool.
This fixes a regression that was introduced in 97985a335c
("v4l2videodec: Add dynamic resolution change support").

The S_CROP call doesn't work on mem2mem output queues. Use the
S_SELECTION call to set the crop rectangle and only fall back to
S_CROP for ancient kernels.
This will allow v4l2videoenc to set the coded size on the output
queue via S_FMT and then set the visible size via the crop rectangle,
as required by the V4L2 codec API.

Some drivers need output buffers set before capture buffers.
CODA cannot set output format if capture is streaming.
Exynos MFC fails on output STREAMON if capture is already streaming.

Drop truncated frames regardless if they have the ERROR flag or not.
Truncated frame causes video frame map failure in many elements
including cluttersink, glupload etc.
In this patch we use a non-blocking poll in order to return all input
buffers (buffers from v4l2-output queue). This prevent holding too long
on upstreaming buffer in importing.

gst_v4l2_dup() will now take care of setting
v4l2capture->no_initial_format and keep_aspect instead of doing it
manually.
Fix a typo as keep_aspect was set twice on v4l2output but never on
v4l2capture.

libv4l2 does not prevent exporting DMABuf even when emulated formats are
in use. As a side effect, userspace ends up with buffers of the original
formats which will cause issues.

BT2020_12 is not represented in V4L2, so drivers providing full colority
for BT2020 will set V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709 transfer function. To fix the
issue, we bump this to BT2020_12 if the resoltion is 4K, but we should
only do that if the colorspace is BT2020 to start with, otherwise it's
not possible to use normal BT709 for 4K 8bit formats.
So far we were only setting colorimetry for OUTPUT devices (v4l2sink or
m2m sink pad). This prevented selecting through caps negotiation the
colorimetry for CAPTURE devices (v4l2src or m2m src pad). This is rarely
selectable, but trying is harmless.
The g_list_insert_sorted() will behave like prepend when the compare
function returns 0. In our case, we want to maintain the order hence
append. This fixes this issue and improve the sorting algorithm to make
a 10x10 prefered over 10x200 with a preference of 10x8 (and similar
cases which was badly handled). This fixes generally fixes issue were a
sub-optimal format / size is picked.

This implements a "big hammer" reallocation method. We effectively
drain and stop both side of the decoder and restart. This though is
the most generic method. This change should enable on most drivers
adaptive streaming.

This is problematic in the current design at it seriously slow down
startup of applications. As of now, no known application uses the
colorimetry and the interlace-modes for anything (the two fields that
won't be probed). So let's disable it, in the long term we'll try and
find a way to interact with the provider so applicaiton could opt-in
these slow probing methods for more advance configuration.
The difference between mmap and mmap64 is the type of 'offset' argument.
mmap64 always uses a 64-bit interger as offset, while mmap uses off_t,
whose size can vary on different operating systems or architectures.
However, not all operating systems support mmap64. Fortunately, although
FreeBSD only has mmap, its off_t is always 64-bit regardless of
architectures, so we can simply use mmap when sizeof(off_t) == 8.

This way we can pass the pad name instead of the element for tracing
which helps identifying which v4l2object is used withing M2M element
like decoder, encoder and transform. For the reference, pads are name
<parent-name>:<pad-name>.
Commit 1f31715c98 ("v4l2videodec: use visible size, not coded size,
for downstream negotiation filter") added support for removing the
padding obtained as the difference between width/height from G_FMT and
visible width/height from G_SELECTION from the probed caps obtained
via TRY_FMT.
This patch fixes the padding removal for drivers that only round up
height, but not width, to the padded frame size. This might happen
because horizontal padding can be handled by line stride (bytesperline),
but there is no such thing as plane stride in the V4L2 API for
single-buffer planar formats.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791271
In MPLANE mode, the driver may set data_offset, which represent some
padding at the start of the buffer used internally. This portion of the
data need to be skipped, though it is included in bytesused.
This patch removes frame size sanity check as the method used will no
longer work. This check was simply there to help detect broken kernel
drivers. It would be re-implement by estimating the plane size, which is
not totally trivial and may be too much work for a simple debug check.

Issue an invalid VIDIOC_EXPBUF ioctl to the driver to check if the
driver supports dmabuf export. If the driver does not implement the
IOCTL, the error is ENOTTY. Any other error codes mean that the driver
implements VIDIOC_EXPBUF.

The purpose of being able to flush the buffer pool is only to
unlock any blocked operation. Doing streamoff/streamon had the
side effect of turning off and on the camera. As we do a flush_start
/ flush_stop sequence when shutting down, that would cause a really
quick sequence of streamoff/streamon/streamoff/close which was
causing some cameras to stop working.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783945
The code relied on the list compare function to fixate the caps
but if the caps only has one structure, the compare function will
never get called. Capture device for which there is only one
structure in the caps would then get some assertion and later
fail badly.
Instead, fixate before inserting into the list and split the reading
and the fixation of the structures.
try_fmt will update the caps colorimetry and interlace-mode. Before this
call, those field are missing. The caps equality check was always
failing when a spurious reconfigure event was received.
These have been copy pasted all over the place and are not used anymore.
All object have it's own category now. This fixes build warning since
the VP9 decoder had vp8 category declared.
Whenever we import from downstream pool (userptr or dmabuf-import), we
should copy over the flags and timestamp, otherwise downstream will not
get proper synchronization or will not be able to notice frames that has
corruption in it.

Removes the FIXME/Question in the buffer pool and add a ref to the
element in the GstAllocator too. This ref is strictly required to keep
the GstV4l2Object structure around.
The library has started preventing a lot of interesting use cases,
like CREATE_BUFS, DMABuf, usage of TRY_FMT. As the libv4l2 is totally
inactive and not maintained, we decided to disable it. As a convenience
we added a run-time environment that let you enable it for testing.
GST_V4L2_USE_LIBV4L2=1
This of course only works if you have enabled libv4l2 at build time.
While not documented, gst_video_colorimetry_matches() only accepts well
known names. Looking at the code and unit test, this seems to be on
purpose, so fixing by parsing the string and compating the colorimetry
structures.
The subclass negotiated function will call set_format, if that fails the
pool will not be created. We ended up with an assertion.
GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_buffer_pool_set_active: assertion 'GST_IS_BUFFER_POOL (pool)' failed
In this commit, we enabled skip_try_fmt_probes quirk in order to speed
up the start which is known to be disastrously slow with certain USB
cameras.
This has the side effect that we needed to rewrite the entire
negotiation process in a way that we iterate over the possible caps
until we find one that works.
The new negotiation method consist of extracting a preferred structure
from the peer caps and using this to fixate and sort the caps. To
reflect the old behaviour, we sort all resolution strictly bigger
to the preferred one with the closes one first. The rest is appended,
keeping the same order. We then normalize the caps in case there was
some list of interlace-mode or colorimetry left. We finally iterate
over all fixed caps and try it. 99% of the time, the first or the
second one should work, whit the result of a single S_FMT being issues.
From there, it will be relatively easy to introduce new negotiation
algorithm. The current algorithm is made for optimal image quality
with a scaling sink that sets it's window resolution as preference.
This the case if for:
v4l2src ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! ximagesink
Other strategy would be needed to optimize for non-scaling sink like
ximagesink or kmssink when the driver does not scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785156
skip_try_fmt_probes quirk is set, V4L2 object will not probe for
interlace-mode and colorimetry to avoid relying on try_fmt. This quirk
will be used by v4l2src to avoid desastrous startup time with slow
USB webcams.
When this quirk is enabled, caller will have to iterate over the
negotiated caps as it may contains unsupported formats. If the peer
didn't choose a specific interlace-mode, or colorimetry, the value
chosen by the driver is set into the caps. For this reason, when this
mode is enabled, gst_v4l2_object_set_format() will require writable
caps.

According to the spec,TRY_FMT cannot return EBUSY, though it can
return EINVAL if it was not possible to update the format to
something supported.

This is in preparation for removing slow TRY_FMT probes for
colorimetry. As we won't have tried that colorimetry we cannot
assume the driver will accept it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785156
This is in preparation from removing the slow TRY_FMT probes for
interlacing. As we won't have tried that interlace-mode already
we need to validate that the driver isn't refusing it.

Since 1.6, the transfer function for BT2020 has been changed from BT709
to BT2020_12. It's the same function, but with more precision. As a side
effect, the V4L2 colorpsace didn't match GStreamer colorspace. When
GStreamer ended up making a guess, it would not match anything supported
by V4L2 anymore. This this by using BT2020_12 for BT2020 colorspace and
BT2020 transfer function in replacement of BT709 whenever a 4K
resolution is detected.
The pixel aspect ratio is documented to not change unless the TV
Standard is changed. So this mean that this will be uniform across all
possible format and resolutions.

First step of a larger cleanup, all function from v4l2_calls are in fact
methods on GstV4l2Object. This split makes the code really confusing.
This also remove no longer unused macros.
Before that, each m2m node would be wrapped as a single, multi-format
decoder element. As a unique name was needed, we where using the device
name, which changes between re-boots. This led to unpredictable element
names. In this patch, we generate an element per codec, using
v4l2<codec>dec name. If there is multiple decoder for the same format,
the following elements will be named v4l2<node><codec>dec.

When resurrecting a buffer, the subsequent free call can result
in the group-released handler being called again, which causes
a recursive loop. This patch blocks the signal handler during
the time that it executes, ensuring that the loop will not occur.

Increasing this number fix a buffer starvation problem I'm hitting
with a "v4l2src ! kmssink" pipeline.
kmssink requests 2 buffer as it keeps a reference on the last rendered
one. So we were allocating 3 buffers for the pipeline.
Once the first 2 buffers have been pushed we ended up with:
- one buffer queued in v4l2
- one being pushed
- one kept as last rendered
If this 3rd buffer is released after that v4l2 used the first one to
capture we end up with a buffer starvation problem as no buffer is currently
queued in v4l2 for capture.
Fixing this by adding one extra buffer to the pipeline so when one
buffer is being pushed downstream the other can already be queued to
capture the next frame.
We were already adding 3 buffers if downstream didn't reply to the
allocation query. I reduced this number to 2 to compensate the extra
buffer which is now always added.

This implements H264 encoding support using generic V4L2 interface. It is
reported to work with Samsung MFC driver, IXM.6 CODA driver and
Qualcomm mainline Venus driver. Other platform should be supported as
none of this work is platform specific.
The implementation consist of a GstV4l2VideoEnc base class, which
implements the core streaming functionality. This base class is implemented
by GstV4l2H264Enc class that implements the caps negotiation specific to
H264 profiles and level. This implementation supports hardware with multiple
H264 encoder. Though, to make it simplier to use, the first discovered H264
encoder will be named v4l2h264enc. Other encoder found during discovery will
have a unique name like v4l2video0h264enc.

years. Thanks to all of the contributors:
