[PATCH 1/3] media: uvcvideo: Enable VB2_DMABUF for metadata stream

[Ricardo Ribalda]

The UVC driver has two video streams, one for the frames and another one
for the metadata. Both streams share most of the codebase, but only the
data stream declares support for DMABUF transfer mode.

I have tried the DMABUF transfer mode with CONFIG_DMABUF_HEAPS_SYSTEM
and the frames looked correct.

This patch announces the support for DMABUF for the metadata stream.
This is useful for apps/HALs that only want to support DMABUF.

Is that something you plan to use in Android ?

One day we should start warning about USERPTR being deprecated.

[PATCH 2/3] media: uvcvideo: uvc_queue_to_stream(): Support meta queues

[Ricardo Ribalda]

The stream data structure has two queues: the metadata and the data
queues, but uvc_queue_to_stream() only supports the data queue. If we
pass the metadata queue the function will return an invalid pointer.

This patch add a parameter to the function to explicitly tell the
function which queue are we using.

This was implemented with container_of() as there has never been a need
to get the uvc_streaming for the metadata queue. As that's changing in
patch 3/3, I'd rather use a backpointer from uvc_video_queue to
uvc_streaming. That will be simpler for the callers, and less
error-prone.

[PATCH 3/3] media: uvcvideo: Allow userspace to increase the meta buffersize

[Ricardo Ribalda]

Now we have the metadata size hardcoded to 10 KiB, this is a value that
works fine for bulk cameras or frames with no extra metadata. But not
for all usecases.

We have seen some cameras that produce more metadata per frame. Eg:
Frame 1 captured (Bytes: 11154)
Frame 2 captured (Bytes: 11616)
Frame 3 captured (Bytes: 11374)
Frame 4 captured (Bytes: 11132)
Frame 5 captured (Bytes: 11594)
Frame 6 captured (Bytes: 11352)
Frame 7 captured (Bytes: 11110)
Frame 8 captured (Bytes: 11572)
Frame 9 captured (Bytes: 11308)

When this happens, the driver (correctly) marks the metadata as ERROR.

This patch let userspace set bigger buffersize via S_FMT.

Is the maximum metadata size queryable through an XU on your devices ?

I wondered if we should have a max limit to avoid letting userspace
starve system memory, but that can already be done through allocation of
arbitrarily large image buffers anyway. We need proper memory accounting
in V4L2.

It is a pretty standard Sunplus camera. It should be producing frames
at 30fps, but it had AutoFramerate based on exposure enabled and the
real fps was 15.
As a result of that there was twice of empty packages.

If you are really curious I can try to dig the lsusb.

There is no metadata in this device, just timing information.

In MSXU there is a contol to set the size of the metadata. It is in
kilobytes :S and pretty much every device I've seen implements it
incorrectly.

No, it's OK. I was wondering if it was anything special.

Thank you.

This entire series seems simple/safe enough and looks good to me
from a review pov, so I've pushed this to uvc/for-next now.

While it also rebasing uvc/for-next on top of the latest
media-committers/next .

Regards,

Hans

I'd like a small change in 2/3. Ricardo, if you submit a new version of
2/3, I can merge it and handle the rebase.

[PATCH] media: uvcvideo: Add a stream backpointer in uvc_video_queue

[Ricardo Ribalda]

It is less prone to errors if we add a backpointer to stream from
struct uvc_video_queue.

Refactor the code.

Suggested-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@chromium.org>
---
Tested in real hardware with yavta:
(console A) # yavta -c /dev/video1 
(console B) # yavta -c /dev/video0
It would be great if we add it as a follow-up patch to the already
merged series.

Thanks!
