Hi All This has been in the pipeline for a while, but I've finally cleaned up our HEVC decoder driver to be in a shape to at least get a first review. John Cox has done almost all of the work under contract to Raspberry Pi, and I'm largely just doing the process of patch curation and sending. There are a couple of questions raised in frameworks. The main one is that the codec has 2 independent phases to the decode, CABAC and reconstruction. To keep the decoder operating optimally means that two requests need to be in process at once, whilst the current frameworks don't want to allow as there is an implicit assumption of only a single job being active at once, and completition returns both buffers and releases the media request. The OUTPUT queue buffer is finished with and can be returned at the end of phase 1, but the media request is still required for phase 2. The frameworks currently force the driver to be returning both together via v4l2_m2m_buf_done_and_job_finish. v4l2_m2m_job_finish would complete the job without returning the buffer as we need, however if the driver has set VB2_V4L2_FL_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF then we have a WARN in v4l2_m2m_job_finish. Dropping the WARN as this series is currently doing isn't going to be the right answer, but it isn't obvious what the right answer is. Discussion required. We also have a need to hold on to the media request for phase 2. John had discussed this with Ezequiel (and others) a couple of years back, and hence suggested a patch that adds media_request_{pin,unpin} to grab references on the media request. Discussion required on that or a better way of handling it. I will apologise in advance for sending this V1 just before I head off on the Christmas break, but will respond to things as soon as possible.
