[PATCH] v4l2-async: add subnotifier registration for subdevices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When registered() of v4l2_subdev_internal_ops is called the subdevice
have access to the master devices v4l2_dev and it's called with the
async frameworks list_lock held. In this context the subdevice can
register its own notifiers to allow for incremental discovery of
subdevices.

The master device registers the subdevices closest to itself in its
notifier while the subdevice(s) themself register notifiers for there
closest neighboring devices when they are registered. Using this
incremental approach two problems can be solved.

1. The master device no longer have to care how many subdevices exist in
   the pipeline. It only needs to care about its closest subdevice and
   arbitrary long pipelines can be created without having to adapt the
   master device for each case.

2. Subdevices which are represented as a single DT node but register
   more then one subdevice can use this to further the pipeline
   discovery. Since the subdevice driver is the only one who knows which
   of its subdevices is linked with which subdevice of a neighboring DT
   node.

To enable subdevices to register/unregister notifiers from the
registered()/unregistered() callback v4l2_async_subnotifier_register()
and v4l2_async_subnotifier_unregister() are added. These new notifier
register functions are similar to the master device equivalent functions
but run without taking the v4l2-async list_lock which already are held
when he registered()/unregistered() callbacks are called.
