Since bug #745728 was fixed the oldest supported version of GStreamer is

This patch only intends to improve readability: in the method
gst_vaapi_window_wayland_sync() the if/do instructions are squashed into a
single while loop.
Also renames the frame_redraw_callback() callback into frame_done_callback(),
which is a bit more aligned to Wayland API.
The Wayland compositor may still use the buffer when the frame done
callback is called.
This patch destroys the frame (which contains the buffer) until the
release callback is called. The draw termination callback only controls
the display queue dispatching.

There is a race condition where g_drm_device_type can be left set to
DRM_DEVICE_RENDERNODES when it shouldn't.
If thread 1 comes in and falls into the last else statement setting up both
RENDERNODES and LEGACY types. And begins to process the first type (RENDERNODES),
it sets g_drm_device_type = RENDERNODES.
Now when thread 2 comes in and sees g_drm_device_type is RENDERNODES, it queues
up that type to be tried but then encounters the lock and has to wait until the
first thread finishes. Once the lock is acquired it will then proceed to ONLY try
RENDERNODES and fail it. But it doesn't try LEGACY. And from then on, all future
attempts will only try RENDERNODES.
So to avoid this situation I have simply moved the acquisition of the lock higher
up in the attached patch.

The support for buffer exports in VA-API was added in version 0.36. These
interfaces are for interop with EGL, OpenCL, etc.
GStreamer-VAAPI uses it for a dmabuf memory allocator. Though, gstreamer-vaapi

Add support for GstVideoGLTextureOrientation modes. In particular,
add orientation flags to the GstVaapiTexture wrapper and the GLX
implementations. Default mode is that texture memory is laid out
with top lines first, left row first. Flags indicate whether the
X or Y axis need to be inverted.
Add GstVaapiTextureEGL abstraction that can create its own GL texture,
or import a foreign allocated one, while still allowing updates from a
VA surface.
Add helpers to import EGLImage objects into VA surfaces. There are
two operational modes: (i) gst_vaapi_surface_new_from_egl_image(),
which allows for implicit conversion from EGLImage to a VA surface
in native video format, and (ii) gst_vaapi_surface_new_with_egl_image(),
which exactly wraps the source EGLImage, typically in RGBA format
with linear storage.
Note: in case of (i), the EGLImage can be disposed right after the

Add GstVaapiDisplay::get_{visual_id,colormap}() helpers to help determine
the best suitable window visual id and colormap. This is an indirection in
view to supporting EGL and custom/generic replacements.
Add GstVaapiWindowClass::get_colormap() hook to help determine the
currently active colormap bound to the supplied window, or actually
create it if it does not already exist yet.
Add GstVaapiWindowClass::get_visual_id() function hook to help find
the best suitable visual id for the supplied window. While doing so,
also simplify the process by which an X11 window is created with a
desired Visual, i.e. now use a visual id instead of a Visual object.
Add a new generic helper function gst_vaapi_window_new() to create
a window without having the caller to check for the display type
himself. i.e. internally, there is now a GstVaapiDisplayClass hook
to create windows, and the actual backend implementation fills it in.
Add new generic helper functions gst_vaapi_texture_new_wrapped()
This is a simplification in view to supporting EGL.
Add gst_vaapi_display_has_opengl() helper function to help determining
whether the display can support OpenGL context to be bound to it, i.e.
if the class is of type GST_VAAPI_DISPLAY_TYPE_GLX.
Make gst_vaapi_display_get_display_type() return the actual VA display
type. Conversely, add a gst_vaapi_display_get_class_type() function to
return the type of the GstVaapiDisplay instance. The former is used to
identify the display server onto which the application is running, and
the latter to identify the original object class.
Record the underlying native display instance into the toplevel
GstVaapiDisplay object. This is useful for fast lookups to the
underlying native display, e.g. for creating an EGL display.
Add new generic helper functions gst_vaapi_texture_new_wrapped()

textures, and the actual backend implementation fills it in.
This is a simplification in view to supporting EGL.
GstVaapiTexture is a generic abstraction that could be moved to the
core libgstvaapi library. While doing this, no extra dependency needs
to be added. This means that a GstVaapitextureClass is now available

underlying GL texture objects, or backend dependent ways to upload
a surface to the texture object.
Generic OpenGL data types (GLuint, GLenum) are also replaced with a

- allocate with fixed strides (GST_VAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_FIXED_STRIDES) ;
- allocate with fixed offsets (GST_VAAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_FIXED_OFFSETS).
Add new gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_new() helper to wrap a surface into
a proxy. The main use case for that is to convey additional information
at the proxy level that would not be suitable to the plain surface.
Re-introduce a GST_VAAPI_ID_INVALID value that represents

that is still invalid for cases where zero could actually
be a valid value.

express a gboolean.
Use the SEI pic_timing() message to track the pic_struct variable when

Fix gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_copy() to copy the view-id element, thus
fixing random frames skipped when vaapipostproc element is used in

When a DPB flush is required, e.g. at a natural and of stream or issued

is interlaced but does not contain two decoded fields. In that case, mark
the picture as having a single field only.
This avoids a hang while decoding tv_cut.mkv.
Simplify the dpb_output() function to exclusively rely on the frame store
buffer to output, since this is now always provided. Besides, also fix

This is a regression from f48b1e0.
Cope with latest changes from codecparsers/h264. It is now required
to explicitly clear the GstH264PPS structure as it could contain
additional allocations (slice_group_ids).
Add new GstVaapiSurfaceProxy flag FFB, which means "first frame in
bundle", and really expresses the first view component of a multi
view coded frame. e.g. in H.264 MVC, the surface proxy has flag FFB
set if VOIdx = 0.
Likewise, new API is exposed to retrieve the associated "view-id".
Allow decoders to set the "one-field" attribute when the decoded frame
genuinely has a single field, or if the second field was mis-decoded but
we still want to display the first field.
Make sure to output the decoded picture, and push the associated
GstVideoCodecFrame, only once. The frame fully represents what needs
to be output, included for interlaced streams. Otherwise, the base
GstVideoDecoder class would release the frame twice.
Anyway, the general process is to output decoded frames only when
they are complete. By complete, we mean a full frame was decoded or
both fields of a frame were decoded.
Slightly optimize decoding process by submitting the current VA surface
for decoding earlier to the hardware, and perform the reference picture
marking process and DPB update process afterwards.
This is a minor optimization to let the video decode engine kick in work
earlier, thus improving parallel resources utilization.
Fix decoding of interlaced streams where a first field (e.g. B-slice)

Optimize the process to detect new pictures or start of new access
units by checking if the previous NAL unit was the end of a picture,

Add support for MVC streams with multiple SPS and subset SPS headers
emitted regularly, e.g. at around every I-frame. Track the maximum
number of views in ensure_context() and really reset the DPB size to
the expected value, always. i.e. even if it decreased. dpb_reset()
only cares of ensuring the DPB allocation.
Fix the compaction process when the DPB is cleared for a specific
view, i.e. fix the process of filling in the holes resulting from
removing frame buffers matching the current picture.
It is not necessary to periodically send SPS or subset SPS headers.
This is up to the upper layer (e.g. transport layer) to decide on
if/how to periodically submit those. For now, only generate new SPS
or subset SPS headers when the codec config changed.
Note: the upper layer could readily determine the config headers
(SPS/PPS) through the gst_vaapi_encoder_h264_get_codec_data() function.

Factor out the removal process of unused inter-view only reference
pictures from the DPB, prior to the possible insertion of the current
picture.
Ideally, the compiler could still opt for generating two loops. But
at least, the code is now clearer for maintenance.
Improve process for the removal of pictures from DPB before possible
insertion of the current picture (C.4.4) for H.264 MVC inter-view only
reference components. In particular, handle cases where picture to be
inserted is not the last one of the access unit and if it was already
output and is no longer marked as used for reference, including for
decoding next view components within the same access unit.
While invoking the DPB bumping process in presence of many views,
it could be necessary to output previous pictures that are ready,
in a whole. i.e. emitting all view components from the very first
view order index zero to the very last one in its original access
unit; and not starting from the view order index of the picture
that caused the DPB bumping process to be invoked.
As a reminder, the maximum number of frames in DPB for MultiView
High profile with more than 2 views is not necessarily a multiple
of the number of views.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-4.264.
Let the utility layer handle dynamic growth of the inter-view pictures
array. By definition, setting a new size to the array will effectively
grow the array, but would also fill in the newly created elements with
empty entries (NULL), thus also increasing the reported length, which
is not correct.
When decoding Multiview High profile streams with a large number of
views, it is not possible to make the VAPictureParameterBufferH264.
ReferenceFrames[] array hold the complete DPB, with all possibly
active pictures to be used for inter-view prediction in the current
access unit.
So reduce the scope of the ReferenceFrames[] array to only include
the set of reference pictures that are going to be used for decoding
the current picture. Basically, this is a union of all RefPicListX[]
array, for all slices constituting the decoded picture.
The inter-view reference components and inter-view only reference
components that are included in the reference picture lists shall
be considered as not being marked as "used for short-term reference"
or "used for long-term reference". This means that reference flags
should all be removed from VAPictureH264.flags.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-2.264.
If the VA driver exposes ad-hoc H.264 MVC profiles, then we have to
be careful to detect profiles changes and not reset the underlying
VA context erroneously. In MVC situations, we could indeed get a
profile_idc change for every SPS that gets activated, alternatively
(base-view -> non-base view -> base-view, etc.).
An improved fix would be to characterize the exact profile to use
once and for all when SPS NAL units are parsed. This would also
allow for fallbacks to a base-view decoding only mode.
Exclusively use VA drivers that support raw packed headers for encoding.
i.e. simply submit packed headers Subset SPS and Prefix NAL units. This
provides for better compatibility accross the various VA drivers and HW
generations since no particular API is needed beyond what readily exists.
Since we are encoding each view independently from each other, we
need a higher number of pre-allocated surfaces to be used as the
reconstructed frames. For Stereo High profile encoding, this means
to effectively double the number of frames to be stored in the DPB.
