Martin Sherburn b5425da1de display: drm: fix race condition setting device type
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.

Overview
--------

gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
GStreamer and helper libraries.

  * `vaapidecode' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4:2, H.264 AVC,
    H.264 MVC, VP8, VC-1, WMV3 videos to VA surfaces, depending on the
    underlying hardware capabilities. This plugin is also able to
    implicitly download the decoded surface to raw YUV buffers.

  * `vaapiencode_<CODEC>' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 AVC,
    H.264 MVC, JPEG, VP8 videos, depending on the actual value of
    <CODEC> (mpeg2, h264, etc.). By default, raw format bitstreams
    are generated, so the result may be piped to a muxer.
    e.g. qtmux for MP4 containers.

  * `vaapipostproc' is used to filter VA surfaces, for e.g. scaling,
    deinterlacing (bob, motion-adaptive, motion-compensated), noise
    reduction or sharpening. This plugin is also used to upload raw
    YUV pixels into VA surfaces.

  * `vaapisink' is used to render VA surfaces to an X11 or Wayland
    display. This plugin also features a "headless" mode (DRM) more
    suited to remote transcode scenarios, with faster throughput.


Features
--------

  * VA-API support from 0.29 to 0.37
  * JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 AVC, H.264 MVC, VP8 and VC-1 ad-hoc decoders
  * MPEG-2, H.264 AVC,H.264 MVC, JPEG and VP8 ad-hoc encoders
  * OpenGL rendering through VA/GLX or GLX texture-from-pixmap + FBO
  * Support for the Wayland display server
  * Support for headless decode pipelines with VA/DRM
  * Support for major HW video decoding solutions on Linux (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA)
  * Support for HW video encoding on Intel HD Graphics hardware
  * Support for VA Video Processing APIs (VA/VPP)
    - Scaling and color conversion
    - Image enhancement filters: Sharpening, Noise Reduction
    - Advanced deinterlacing: Motion-Adaptive, Motion-Compensated


Requirements
------------

Software requirements

  * GStreamer 1.2.x (up to including GStreamer 1.6):
      libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.28)
      libgstreamer1.0-dev (>= 1.2.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev (>= 1.2.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev (>= 1.2.0)

  * Renderers:
      DRM: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libdrm-dev, libudev-dev
      X11: libva-dev (>= 1.0.1)
      GLX: libva-dev (>= 1.0.3)
      Wayland: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libwayland-dev (>= 0.95.0)

Hardware requirements

  * AMD platforms with UVD2 (XvBA supported)
  * Intel Eaglelake (G45)
  * Intel Ironlake, Sandybridge, Ivybridge, Haswell and Broadwell (HD Graphics)
  * Intel BayTrail
  * Intel Poulsbo (US15W)
  * Intel Medfield or Cedar Trail
  * NVIDIA platforms with PureVideo (VDPAU supported)


Usage
-----

  VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
  using playbin should work as is.
  However, here are a few alternate pipelines that could be manually
  constructed.

  * Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
      qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true

  * Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
      mpegvideoparse ! vaapidecode ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink

  * Convert from one pixel format to another, while also downscaling
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=yuy2 width=1280 height=720 ! \
      vaapipostproc format=nv12 height=480 ! vaapisink

  * Encode a 1080p stream in raw I420 format into H.264
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=i420 width=1920 height=1080 framerate=30/1 ! \
      vaapiencode_h264 rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
      qtmux ! filesink location=/path/to/encoded_video.mp4
