After changing bufs arrays to a dynamic allocated array
VB2_MAX_FRAME doesn't mean anything for videobuf2 core.
I think make it 64 which is the VB2_MAX_FRAME in Android GKI kernel is
more reasonable.
It would be hard to iterate the whole array, it would go worse with a
filter. Such iterate may need to go twice because you mix
post-processing buffer and decoding buffer(with MV) in the same array.
Here I don't want to change drivers behavior so I keep the same value.
If it happens that they need more buffers, like for dynamic resolution
change
feature for Verisilicon VP9 decoder, case by case patches will be needed.
I just don't like the idea that using a variant length array here.
"I don't like" is not an argument. We had a number of arguments for
using a generic helper (originally idr, but later decided to go with
XArray, because the former is now deprecated) that we pointed out in
our review comments for previous revisions. It wasn't really about the
size being variable, but rather avoiding open coding things in vb2 and
duplicating what's already implemented in generic code.
I just want to say I don't think we need a variable length array to
store the buffer here.
And the below is the reason that such a case could be avoided in the
first place.
And I could explain why you won't need so many buffers for the performance
of decoding.
VP9 could support 10 reference frames in dpb.
Even for those frequent resolution changing test set, it would only happen
to two resolutions,
32 would be enough for 20 buffers of two resolution plus golden frames. It
also leaves enough slots for re-order latency.
If your case had more two resolutions, likes low->medium->high.
I would suggest just skip the medium resolutions, just allocate the lower
one first for fast playback then the highest for all the possible
medium cases. Reallocation happens frequently would only cause memory
fragment, nothing benefits your performance.
We have mechanisms in the kernel to deal with memory fragmentation
(migration/compaction) and it would still only matters for the
pathologic cases of hardware that require physically contiguous memory.
Modern hardware with proper DMA capabilities can either scatter-gather
or are equipped with an IOMMU, so the allocation always happens in page
granularity and fragmentation is avoided.
Unfortunately, there are more devices that didn't have a IOMMU attached
to it, supporting scatter gather is more odd.
It would be more likely that IOMMU would be disabled for the performance
reason.
These days IOMMU is totally mandatory if you want to think about
having any level of security in your system. Sure, there could be some
systems that are completely isolated from any external environment,
like some offline industry automation machines, but then arguably
their running conditions would also be quite static and require very
little memory re-allocation.
Vendor just decided not to included such hardware.
That is why From ION to DMA-heap, people like to allocate from a cavout
out memory.
I also don't buy the performance reason. CPUs have been behind MMUs
for ages and nobody is running them with paging disabled for
performance reasons. Similarly, most of the modern consumer systems
Page lookup would increase the delay. Besides a few upstream devices
prove them only use a level 1 page table without TBL.
(mobile phones, PCs) run with IOMMUs enabled for pretty much anything
because of the security reason and they don't seem to be having any
If the page is secure, you can't operate it in a insecure IOMMU or MMU.
The most security way here, we should use a dedicated memory(or a zone
in unified memory).
I believe there are more users in mobile for DMA-heap than kernel's dma
allocation API.
performance issues. In fact, it can improve the performance, because
memory allocation is much easier and without contiguous careouts (as
we used to have long ago on Android devices) the extra memory can be
used for buffers and caches to improve system performance.

Remove it from the core definitions but keep it for drivers internal
needs.
