And keep on querying upstream until we get a reply.
Also, the _get_latency_unlocked() method required being calld
with a private lock, so removed the _unlocked() variant from the API.
And it now returns GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE when the element is not live as
we think that 0 upstream latency is possible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745768
One has to use the src_lock anyway to protect the min/max/live so they
can be notified atomically to the src thread to wake it up on changes,
such as property changes. So no point in having a second lock.
Also, the object lock was being held across a call to
GST_ELEMENT_WARNING, guaranteeing a deadlock.
While gst_aggregator_iterate_sinkpads() makes sure that every pad is only
visited once, even when the iterator has to resync, this is not all we have
to do for querying the latency. When the iterator resyncs we actually have
to query all pads for the latency again and forget our previous results. It
might have happened that a pad was removed, which influenced the result of
the latency query.
It was between another function and its helper function before, which was
confusing when reading the code as it had nothing to do with the other
functions.
This lock is not what is commonly known as a "stream lock" in GStremer,
it's not recursive and it's taken from the non-serialized FLUSH_START event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
steal_buffer() + unref seems to be a wide-spread idiom
(which perhaps indicates that something is not quite
right with the way aggregator pad works currently).
Instead of using the GST_OBJECT_LOCK we should have
a dedicated mutex for the pad as it is also associated
with the mutex on the EVENT_MUTEX on which we wait
in the _chain function of the pad.
The GstAggregatorPad.segment is still protected with the
GST_OBJECT_LOCK.
Remove the gst_aggregator_pad_peak_unlocked method as it does not make
sense anymore with a private lock.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
Some members sometimes used atomic access, sometimes where not locked at
all. Instead consistently use a mutex to protect them, also document
that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
Reduce the number of locks simplify code, what is protects
is exposed, but the lock was not.
Also means adding an _unlocked version of gst_aggregator_pad_steal_buffer().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
Whenever a GCond is used, the safest paradigm is to protect
the variable which change is signalled by the GCond with the same
mutex that the GCond depends on.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
No need to use an iterator for this which creates a temporary
structure every time and also involves taking and releasing the
object lock many times in the course of iterating. Not to mention
all that GList handling in gst_aggregator_iterate_sinkpads().
The minimum latency is the latency we have to wait at least
to guarantee that all upstreams have produced data. The maximum
latency has no meaning like that and shouldn't be used for waiting.
When iterating sink pads to collect some data, we should take the stream lock so
we don't get stale data and possibly deadlock because of that. This fixes
a definitive deadlock in _wait_and_check() that manifests with high max
latencies in a live pipeline, and fixes other possible race conditions.
This simplifies the code and also makes sure that we don't forget to check all
conditions for waiting.
Also fix a potential deadlock caused by not checking if we're actually still
running before starting to wait.
When this is TRUE, we really have to produce output. This happens
in live mixing mode when we have to output something for the current
time, no matter if we have enough input or not.
This removes the uses of GAsyncQueue and replaces it with explicit
GMutex, GCond and wakeup count which is used for the non-live case.
For live pipelines, the aggregator waits on the clock until either
data arrives on all sink pads or the expected output buffer time
arrives plus the timeout/latency at which time, the subclass
produces a buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741146
Otherwise the caps of the pad might change while the subclass still works with
a buffer of the old caps, assuming the the current pad caps apply to that
buffer. Which then leads to crashes and other nice effects.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740376
Audiomixer blocksize, cant be 0, hence adjusting the minimum value to 1
timeout value of aggregator is defined with MAX of MAXINT64,
but it cannot cross G_MAXLONG * GST_SECOND - 1
Hence changed the max value of the same
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738845
Determines the amount of time that a pad will wait for a buffer before
being marked unresponsive.
Network sources may fail to produce buffers for an extended period of time,
currently causing the pipeline to stall possibly indefinitely, waiting for
these buffers to appear.
Subclasses should render unresponsive pads with either silence (audio), the
last (video) frame or what makes the most sense in the given context.
The previous implementation kept accumulating GSources,
slowing down the iteration and leaking memory.
Instead of trying to fix the main context flushing, replace
it with a GAsyncQueue which is simple to flush and has
less overhead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736782
Without a lock that is taken in FLUSH_START we had a rare race where we
end up aggregating a buffer that was before the whole FLUSH_START/STOP
dance. That could lead to very wrong behaviour in subclasses.
Avoiding to be in an inconsistent state where we do not have
actual negotiate caps set as srccaps and leading to point where we
try to unref ->srccaps when they have already been set to NULL.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735042
Along with the required mandatory dependent events.
Some elements need to perform an allocation query inside
::negotiated_caps(). Without the caps event being sent prior,
downstream elements will be unable to answer and will return
an error.

The gst_ptp_clock_new() does not actually require a name. However, for
example the rtpjitterbuffer may create a clock without a name, fail, and
fall back to not using the PTP clock.

Fixes in user code:
undefined reference to `gst_harness_add_element_sink_pad'
Also reorder harness function list to be strictly in alphabetical order and
double check the list with:
awk '{ if ($1 !~ /#define/) if ($2 ~ /gst_harness_/) { print $2 }; if ($3 ~ /gst_harness_/) { print $3} }' libs/gst/check/gstharness.h | sort
There were a few errors:
* The plugin scanner now accepts executable path as an argument.
In case it is NULL, argc == 2
* We find the executable path in init_pre instead of gst_init,
allowing this to work when gst is initialized through the
option group (eg gst-inspect)
* There was a semi-colon missing in the __APPLE__ #ifdef
When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.
We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.
If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.
In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

We would constantly re-post the taglist because
posted_avg_rate only gets set to avg_bitrate if
parse->priv->post_avg_bitrate is true, so if it's
false the posted rate will always differ from the
current average rate and we'd queue an update,
which leads to us spamming downstream and the
application with taglist updates.
Fix this by only queuing an update if the average
rate will actually be posted.
These taglists updates could cause expensive
operations on the application side, e.g. in Totem.

Need to define CK_DLL_EXP to extern as well in libcompat.h
which gets included before the internal-check.h where the
other fallback definition for CK_DLL_EXP is.
duplicate symbol _check_minor_version in:
libcheckinternal.a(libcheckinternal_la-check.o)
libcheckinternal.a(libcheckinternal_la-check_log.o)
Have to modify libcheck header a bit to avoid warnings
about duplicate 'extern extern'.
Also needs some additions to the libcheck meson.build file
to define CK_EXP_DLL when building the static libcheck.
buffer is not unreferened if preroll failed
:Detailed Notes:
- Problem : video freeze when switching from pause to 1/2-FF repeatedly
- RootCause : buffer leaks in basesink
- Solution : unref the buffer if prerolled failed

How to Test :
pause -> 1/2 FF -> resume -> pause -> 1/2 FF ...

Holding this lock on live source prevents the source from changing
the caps in ::create() without risking a deadlock. This has consequences
as the LIVE_LOCK was replacing the STREAM_LOCK in many situation. As a
side effect:
- We no longer need to unlock when doing play/pause as the LIVE_LOCK
isn't held. We then let the create() call finish, but will block if
the state have changed meanwhile. This has the benefit that
wait_preroll() calls in subclass is no longer needed.
- We no longer need to change the state to unlock, simplifying the
set_flushing() interface
- We need different handling for EOS depending if we are in push or pull
mode.
This patch also document the locking of each private class member and
the locking order.
