[PATCH 2/9 v6] V4L: add two new ioctl()s for multi-size videobuffer management

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

A possibility to preallocate and initialise buffers of different sizes
in V4L2 is required for an efficient implementation of a snapshot
mode. This patch adds two new ioctl()s: VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF and defines respective data structures.

Exactly, that's why it's an "_IOW" ioctl(), not an "_IOWR", or have I 
misunderstood you?

This caught my eyes as well. Do you think VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF could need to 
return information to userspace in the future ?

Let's see: "[PATCH 2/9 v6]," it has been an "_IOW" since v1, posted on 
01.04 - exactly 5 months ago, when it was still called SUBMIT_BUF. So, 
IIRC, since then noone has come up with even a doubt, that this might need 
to change in the future (until today), let alone an example, what might 
need to be given back.

But sure, I cannot look into the future, so, I'm all ears.

Thanks! This looks good to me. Could you do a similar change to the
compat-IOCTL version of this struct (v4l2_create_buffers32)?

I was thinking if this will be the case now and in the foreseeable future as
this can't be changed after once defined. I just wanted to bring this up
even though I don't see myself that any of the fields would need to be
returned to the user. But there are reserved fields...

So unless someone comes up with something quick, I think this should stay
as-is.

Of course, I'll submit an incremental patch as soon as this is accepted 
for upstream, unless there are other important changes to this patch and a 
new revision is anyway unavoidable.

Agree. I understand, it is important to try to design the user-space API 
as clever as possible, so, I'm relying on our combined wisdom for it. But 
even that is probably limited, so, mistakes are still possible. Therefore, 
unless someone comes up with a realistic reason, why this has to be _IOWR, 
we shall keep it _IOW and be prepared to delight our user-space colleagues 
with more shiny new ioctl()s in the somewhat near future;-)

Ok. I'll send a small patch to the documentation as well then.

What we could also do is to mark the new IOCTLs experimental, and remove
the note after one or two more kernel releases. This would allow
postponing the decision.

We also don't have anyone using these ioctls from user space as far as I
understand, so we might get important input later on as well.

Is there a standard way to do this, or is it just a free-form note in the 
documentation / in the header?

Does either of these allow us to actually _change_ ioctl()s after their 
appearance in the mainline?

I think a free form note saying this out loud in a visible place should be
enough. A note should also be added to
Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/compat.xml to the section "Experimental API
Elements".

Speaking of this, we seem to have quite a few of these that probably
shouldn't be experimental anymore, such as VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES.
Interestingly enough, VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMEINTERVALS no longer is experimental.
I think I'll send a patch for this.

That's my understanding, but of course someone could just say "no" when we
try to do that. I think that if something is marked experimental at least
the argument that it can't be changed is a little bit moot since the users
have been notified of this beforehand.

There are a few examples of this. At least the V4L2 subdev and MC interfaces
are marked experimental. However, we haven't actually tried to use that to
make changes which might break user space since we haven't got a need to.

Hans, Laurent: do you have an opinion on this?

We should of course try to keep the API and ABI compatible across kernel 
versions, but experimental APIs can be changed. It also depends on how widely 
the API has been picked up by userspace and how much the changes would break 
it. Being experimental isn't an excuse for making userspace's life a 
nightmare.

Right, they deserve it regardless;-)

[PATCH 2/9 v7] V4L: add two new ioctl()s for multi-size videobuffer management

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

A possibility to preallocate and initialise buffers of different sizes
in V4L2 is required for an efficient implementation of a snapshot
mode. This patch adds two new ioctl()s: VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF and defines respective data structures.

v7: added the "experimental" comment, as suggested by Sakari - thanks.

Re: [PATCH 3/9 v7] V4L: document the new VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF ioctl()s

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hi Guennadi,

Thank you for the patch.

As discussed over jabber, we're suffering from an AB-BA deadlock that this 
patch could make worse.

The mmap code path takes mm->mmap_sem in the kernel' mmap handler before 
calling the driver's mmap handler. The driver will then lock the queue mutex 
before calling vb2_mmap (or let the core lock the vdev mutex).

In the VIDIOC_QBUF code path, the driver will first lock the queue mutex (or 
let the core lock the vdev mutex) and call vb2_qbuf. This will then take mm-
>mmap_sem to call get_user_pages for USERPTR buffers. The two locks are taken 
in different orders depending on the code paths, resulting in a possible AB-BA 
deadlock.

mmap'ing USERPTR buffers doesn't make sense, so application will likely not 
experience any deadlock. However, if VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS allows mixing MMAP and 
USERPTR buffers, we could suddenly see a rise of deadlock issues resulting 
from valid use cases.

This problem needs to be fixed anyway, as a rogue application can currently 
produce a kernel deadlock. The fix can probably be pretty simple if we decide 
not to support mixing MMAP and USERPTR buffers, but it might become more 
complex if we need to support that.

I'm interested in hearing what others think about this.

Laurent Pinchart

Add: 'provided the size is greater than or equal to sizeimage'.

That's very important!

Otherwise everything looks fine to me.

How about:

The driver may also increase buffer sizes if required, however, it will 
not update <structfield>sizeimage</structfield> field values. The
user has to use <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> to retrieve that
information.</para>

This may be a stupid question but would there be adverse effects from
updating it?

[PATCH] V4L: docbook documentation for struct v4l2_create_buffers

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>

Obviously, this goes on top of the "multi-size buffers" patch series. 
Thanks again to Sakari for the idea.

[PATCH 1/1] v4l: Mark VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUFS and VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS experimental.

[Sakari Ailus]

Add a note to documentation of both VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS that these ioctls are experimental.

Signed-off-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@iki.fi>
---

I think it would be even better to add the note to the ioctls themselves.
The users are not going to be looking at the list of experimental features
when then want to implement something.

Just as with REQBUFS you need to add code here to handle priority checking:

			ret = ret_prio;
			break;
		}

You need a check_fmt call here as well (just as in QBUF et al).

I think I would prefer _IOWR here. QBUF etc. also use IOWR and you never know
what you might return in the future. At the very least using IOWR allows us
to update the state field, which would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Sorry, which state field do you mean? We have already marked these ioctl() 
as experimental, isn't this enough?

The state field in the v4l2_buffer argument.

The experimental tag allows for changes, that's true. So this is my proposed
change :-)

Is this a new field? I seem to remember some discussion to replace one of 
existing unused fields in a user-exposed struct (ioctl() argument) with a 
different one. Is this what you're referring to? Can you point me out to 
the patch?

Sorry, my fault. I confused vb2_buffer 'state' with v4l2_buffer 'flags'.
What happens in the case of QBUF is that v4l2_buffer is returned and the flags
field is set to FLAG_QUEUED. Something similar can be done if you have a IOWR
PREPARE_BUF: let it set FLAG_QUEUED. That makes it consistent with the QBUF
behavior as well (I always like consistent APIs).

I'm not sure whether we want to add a FLAG_PREPARED as well. I don't think it
has much value, although it would be a trivial addition.

[PATCH 2/9 v8] V4L: add two new ioctl()s for multi-size videobuffer management

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

A possibility to preallocate and initialise buffers of different sizes
in V4L2 is required for an efficient implementation of a snapshot
mode. This patch adds two new ioctl()s: VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF and defines respective data structures.

Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>
---

v8: addressed comments from Hans - thanks:

    1. added checks in ioctl() preprocessing
    2. changed VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF to _IOWR

If this is IOWR, then there shouldn't be a const here.

I have been thinking about this a bit more. Currently we only have a V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED
flag and no V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED flag. I do think we need this after all. The QUEUED flag
can't be used here as the buffer isn't queued yet, it's only prepared.

hrm... Sure.

Ok, I can add it to this patch together with the other two cache-handling 
flags. I presume, I shall also add it to

V4L2_BUFFER_STATE_FLAGS

in videobuf2-core.c, otherwise just let drivers and apps go figure?... We 
could set that flag centrally in __buf_prepare(), but since 
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED is managed by individual drivers, we probably want to 
leave V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED like that too?

Good, time to wake up. V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED is indeed set in 
videobuf2-core.c, so, I guess, the same should be done with 
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED in __fill_v4l2_buffer().

Yup. Seems sensible to me.

[PATCH 2/9 v9] V4L: add two new ioctl()s for multi-size videobuffer management

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

A possibility to preallocate and initialise buffers of different sizes
in V4L2 is required for an efficient implementation of a snapshot
mode. This patch adds two new ioctl()s: VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF and defines respective data structures.

Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>
---

v9:

1. added the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED videobuffer flag
2. removed "const" from the .vidioc_prepare_buf() method argument

Hi Guennadi,

Thanks for the patch and your tireless efforts on this!

VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF is actually _IOW (rather than _IOWR) in this patch. I
guess it shouldn't be this way, or have I failed to understand
something? :-)

[PATCH 2/9 v10] V4L: add two new ioctl()s for multi-size videobuffer management

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

A possibility to preallocate and initialise buffers of different sizes
in V4L2 is required for an efficient implementation of a snapshot
mode. This patch adds two new ioctl()s: VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF and defines respective data structures.

What about the kerneldoc comments you wrote right after v6 on 1st September
for v4l2_create_buffers and the same for the compat32 version?

Looks like someone is trying very hard to cause me a heart failure;-) They 
are in a separate patch:

http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/338/

and let's leave it that way.

No, I don't! :-) I'm just interested all the appropriate changes are in 
the patchset. My understanding was you intended to add these changes to 
the original patches.

Are you planning to put them to the same patchset still, or a different one?

Speaking of prio support, how is locking handled here ? Does video_ioctl2() 
require drivers to synchronize all ioctl calls or can it work with fine-grain 
locking ?

Define 'here'. Are you talking about video_ioctl2() as a function? Or prio
support in particular?

It should always work OK with fine-grained locking.

I think it could be added that the first time when the buffer is prepared,
the preparation may include very time consuming tasks such as memory
allocation and iommu mapping of that memory.

[PATCH 1/1] v4l: Add note on buffer locking to memory and DMA mapping to PREPARE_BUF

[Sakari Ailus]

Add note to documentation of VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF that the preparation done by
the IOCTL may include locking buffers to system memory and creating DMA
mappings for them.

Hi Guennadi,

What's your opinion on this? I was intended to complement the PREPARE_BUF
documentation.

I don't think I have a very strong opinion about this. AFAIU this is so 
far just a (yet another) speculation about what the driver might want or 
need to do in PREPARE_BUF. Let's wait until the author of these patches 
manages to get them straight (...) and until all the reviewers are 
satisfied:-) Then you're certainly welcome to submit any improvement you 
see fit, then the usual suspects will express their opinions on them. So, 
business as usual, I would say;-)

Thanks
Guennadi

Please, don't add emacs crap into the files. This violates CodingStyle, and won't
bring anything to the file, as developers can use any editors to edit it, that
won't understand emacs specific stuff, and might want to add their own crap on it.

Don't bother re-sending me the entire series just due to that. It is easier to me
to just drop this when merging than to re-read the other 68 patches that are 
before this one.

Mauro

[PATCH 4/9 v6] V4L: vb2: prepare to support multi-size buffers

[PATCH 5/9 v6] V4L: vb2: add support for buffers of different sizes on a single queue

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

The two recently added ioctl()s VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF
allow user-space applications to allocate video buffers of different
sizes and hand them over to the driver for fast switching between
different frame formats. This patch adds support for buffers of different
sizes on the same buffer-queue to vb2.

[PATCH 6/9 v6] V4L: sh-mobile-ceu-camera: prepare to support multi-size buffers

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

Prepare the sh_mobile_ceu_camera friver to support the new
VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF ioctl()s. The .queue_setup()
vb2 operation must be able to handle buffer sizes, provided by the
caller, and the .buf_prepare() operation must not use the currently
configured frame format for its operation.

[PATCH 7/9 v6] dmaengine: ipu-idmac: add support for the DMA_PAUSE control

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

To support multi-size buffers in the mx3_camera V4L2 driver we have to be
able to stop DMA on a channel without releasing descriptors and completely
halting the hardware. Use the DMA_PAUSE control to implement this mode.

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

Prepare the mx3_camera driver to support the new VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF ioctl()s. The .queue_setup() vb2 operation must be
able to handle buffer sizes, provided by the caller, and the
.buf_prepare() operation must not use the currently configured frame
format for its operation, which makes it superfluous for this driver.
Its functionality is moved into .buf_queue().
