Series media: v4l2: Add extended fmt and buffer ioctls | expand

Commit Message

Helen Mae Koike Fornazier Jan. 14, 2021, 6:07 p.m. UTC
Those extended buffer ops have several purpose:
1/ Fix y2038 issues by converting the timestamp into an u64 counting
   the number of ns elapsed since 1970
2/ Unify single/multiplanar handling
3/ Add a new start offset field to each v4l2 plane buffer info struct
   to support the case where a single buffer object is storing all
   planes data, each one being placed at a different offset

New hooks are created in v4l2_ioctl_ops so that drivers can start using
these new objects.

Note that the timecode field is gone, since there doesn't seem to be
in-kernel users. We can be added back in the reserved area if needed or
use the Request API to collect more metadata information from the
frame.

Changes in v6:
This patch was completely refactored, and based on previous version from
Hans and Boris.
- Refactor conversions v4l2_buffer <-> v4l2_ext_buffer for (d)qbuf
- I removed EXT_CREATE_BUFS since it is basically only usefull to MMAP.
  If this is going towards DMA-fd centric, then we can use the current
  REQUESTBUF to switch to it, and we can think a better way to support
  MMAP later if there are usecases.
  I also moved memory field from v4l2_ext_plane to v4l2_ext_buffer,
  since it is very unlikely to mix memory types, and REQUESTBUF can
  switch the whole buffer object to a given type.
- I removed EXT_QUERYBUF, since it is only useful to MMAP, for the
  same reason above.
- I removed EXT_PREPARE_BUF, since it is basically just an optimization,
  we can add it later (my intention is to simplify this patchset).
- These ioctls are only valid for video types (and not for overlay,
  vbi, touch, meta, etc).
- Refactor struct v4l2_ext_buffer and struct v4l2_ext_planes as
  discussed with Tomasz:
	- add bytesused back
	- remove lenght field
	- move memory field from planes to buffer object
- Fix order in documentation of struct v4l2_ext_buffer (Tomasz)
- Fix flags documentation of struct v4l2_ext_buffer, don't say when flags are ignored (Tomasz)
- v4l_print_ext_buffer(): print request_fd and offset/userptr (Tomasz)

Changes in v5:
- migrate memory from v4l2_ext_buffer to v4l2_ext_plane
- return mem_offset to struct v4l2_ext_plane
- change sizes and reorder fields to avoid holes in the struct and make
  it the same for 32 and 64 bits

Changes in v4:
- Use v4l2_ext_pix_format directly in the ioctl, drop v4l2_ext_format,
making V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_[OUTPUT,CAPTURE] the only valid types.
- Drop VIDIOC_EXT_EXPBUF, since the only difference from VIDIOC_EXPBUF
was that with VIDIOC_EXT_EXPBUF we could export multiple planes at once.
I think we can add this later, so I removed it from this RFC to simplify it.
- Remove num_planes field from struct v4l2_ext_buffer
- Add flags field to struct v4l2_ext_create_buffers
- Reformulate struct v4l2_ext_plane
- Fix some bugs caught by v4l2-compliance
- Rebased on top of media/master (post 5.8-rc1)

Changes in v3:
- Rebased on top of media/master (post 5.4-rc1)

Changes in v2:
- Add reserved space to v4l2_ext_buffer so that new fields can be added
  later on

Is this safe? m.userptr is a u64, but the other two fields in the union are
32 bits. If you are actually comparing fds, how certain are you that the
32 bits following the 'fd' are zeroed instead of containing garbage?

Perhaps mem_offset and fd should be u64 and s64 respectively to avoid any
uninitialized bits?

This call is weird. Why is this needed?

Use v4l2_buffer_set_timestamp() for this.

There are both inline (live-to-memory) and offline (memory-to-memory)
ISPs. The former certainly need a proper timestamp.

The existing data_offset field was indeed added for other purposes, to
let drivers report where the actual image data starts for devices that
prepend some sort of header. That's indeed not what we want here, we
instead need something similar to the offsets field of struct
drm_mode_fb_cmd2.

I really have not seen a device that has timer starting with the epoch.

I rarely know the ISP has a wall clock timer.

Timestamp is not my first concern here. Offset is.

For the compressed image, it makes sense. But the most of usage I knew 
is the upstream would just allocate a large buffer for compression video 
bitstream,

Then it could tell where the decoder should start.

That leads to another question. Should the offset be fixed from the 
first enqueued?

For the dmabuf, the v4l2 core framework would detatch then attach the 
buffer when it found the private of a plane is not same. Although it 
sounds unnecessary, some devices would a different cache line for the 
chroma channel, it should be updated.

For the drm_mode_fb_cmd2, unless you remove that fb_id, there is no way 
to modify the offset. But this would break the existing usage I 
mentioned before.

We need to consider whether we need to keep the previous offset and a 
hook for update it.

What I said didn't break that. Application would use the new ioctl() to 
contact with the existing driver.

What I want to remove is that Application use the old ioctl() to contact 
with the driver support new ioctl().

I would omit this related patches in the refresh set. We could always 
add it back. But what I want is a way  to enqueue and dequeue different 
formats(or usage) of buffers in both OUTPUT and CAPTURE. I may add a 
more complex API later.

You are working in the V4L2 core framework here, something that is used
by all V4L2 drivers. So everything is important. You can't just focus on
your own use-case.

It's not codec specific, it's meant to be used with raw video frames.

The key problem in today's API is that if the buffer for the video frame
contains multiple planes, typically Y and UV (2 planes) or Y, U and V (3 planes).

The offset at which each plane begins is currently a property of the
pixelformat. That doesn't scale since there are often HW requirements
that influence this.

One of the main confusing issues is that data_offset is included in
the bytesused value, which was a design mistake in hindsight.

For the new APIs just ignore the existing data_offset and design
this from scratch.

It's always been fixed in the hardware I have seen, but I'm sure someone will
make it dynamic at some point in the future :-(

So I would say that the public API has to support this as a future enhancement,
but it is OK to write the initial code with the assumption that it will remain
fixed.

No, you can't do that. Not unless the driver uses features that only work with the new API.

I.e. if I make a new driver whose properties are completely compatible with the existing
APIs (so no weird offsets etc.), then I want to write the driver using the new ioctls,
and leave it to the V4L2 framework to provide support for the old ioctls.

There is absolutely no reason to block old ioctls in that case. Applications will not
just be able to support a new API overnight, that takes years.

For discussion it is OK to drop the old ioctl support, but once you go beyond the RFC stage
it has to be put back.

I didn't see any problem here.
And v6 does NOT have the length property. There are many reasons that we 
want to limit the hardware access region for a plane.

All I am worrying is the effort we spent didn't have much change to the 
previous. Beyond breaking the userspace compatibility, it needs huge 
work on updating existing drivers included those could be replaced with 
the new framework.

I highly recommend just rename a property which was not used by any 
drivers in the upstream and make a new description for it.

There have been two cases the offset won't be fixed.
1. video codec bitstream input in a circular buffer as mentioned in the 
previous mail
2. decoder resolution change(down) while reusing the existing

What would you need to update existing drivers?

Perhaps the only drivers that would need work (I'm not at all certain about
that!) would be the drivers that use data_offset today. And frankly, it
wouldn't hurt if those are checked carefully anyway.

General note: this email thread is getting hard to read, and it is not helped
by the fact that the original patch series is very old.

Perhaps you should rebase v6 and post it as a v7?
