Hi Oleksandr,
This is looking a lot better than v2. I do have a few remaining comments about
some things that are a bit unclear to me.

This is the ABI for the two halves of a para-virtualized
camera driver which extends Xen's reach multimedia capabilities even
farther enabling it for video conferencing, In-Vehicle Infotainment,
high definition maps etc.
The initial goal is to support most needed functionality with the
final idea to make it possible to extend the protocol if need be:
1. Provide means for base virtual device configuration:
- pixel formats
- resolutions
- frame rates
2. Support basic camera controls:
- contrast
- brightness
- hue
- saturation
3. Support streaming control

Who determines this value? The backend?
This is determined by the system integrator while configuring
the system, e.g. depending on use-cases every domain will have
its own requirements on number of buffers needed. Knowing that
one can optimize memory usage and allow some of the domains more
buffers and have some of those limited.
So how does this relate to num_bufs when requesting buffers? Will num_bufs
be clamped to max-buffers?
The number of buffers here is up to the SW running in a guest domain,
for example, if we allow the guest to use up to max-buffers it is
still up to guest's software to request max-buffers or less.
I don't really understand the use-case of this setting and the description
is very short and vague.
The backend needs to know how many buffers will be used as
the worst case, so while requesting buffers from host driver
it can allocate the maximum from the start. This allows solving
the use-case when first guest requests less buffers than others and
requests streaming (so at this moment backend needs to allocate the buffers
and also start streaming) and then a new guest with bigger number of buffers
comes. So, to make the implementation simpler we configure the backend
to allocate max(guest[i].max_buffers) buffers on start.

It might be useful to give examples for this: 'Y16' and 'Y16-BE' should
clarify how the trimming of spaces work.

+ *
+ * In case of frontend unrecoverable errors backend handles that as
+ * if frontend goes into the XenbusStateClosed state.
+ *
+ * In case of backend unrecoverable errors frontend tries removing
+ * the virtualized device. If this is possible at the moment of error,
+ * then frontend goes into the XenbusStateInitialising state and is ready for
+ * new connection with backend. If the virtualized device is still in use and
+ * cannot be removed, then frontend goes into the XenbusStateReconfiguring state
+ * until either the virtualized device is removed or backend initiates a new
+ * connection. On the virtualized device removal frontend goes into the
+ * XenbusStateInitialising state.
+ *
+ * Note on XenbusStateReconfiguring state of the frontend: if backend has
+ * unrecoverable errors then frontend cannot send requests to the backend
+ * and thus cannot provide functionality of the virtualized device anymore.
+ * After backend is back to normal the virtualized device may still hold some
+ * state: configuration in use, allocated buffers, client application state etc.
+ * In most cases, this will require frontend to implement complex recovery
+ * reconnect logic. Instead, by going into XenbusStateReconfiguring state,
+ * frontend will make sure no new clients of the virtualized device are
+ * accepted, allow existing client(s) to exit gracefully by signaling error
+ * state etc.
+ * Once all the clients are gone frontend can reinitialize the virtualized
+ * device and get into XenbusStateInitialising state again signaling the
+ * backend that a new connection can be made.
+ *
+ * There are multiple conditions possible under which frontend will go from
+ * XenbusStateReconfiguring into XenbusStateInitialising, some of them are OS
+ * specific. For example:
+ * 1. The underlying OS framework may provide callbacks to signal that the last
+ * client of the virtualized device has gone and the device can be removed
+ * 2. Frontend can schedule a deferred work (timer/tasklet/workqueue)
+ * to periodically check if this is the right time to re-try removal of
+ * the virtualized device.
+ * 3. By any other means.

Should you really include colorspace, xfer_func, ycbcr_enc and quantization
here? They should be in the response, but for now at least all video capture
drivers just set these fields. I.e., you cannot request a specific e.g. colorspace.
It might become possible in the future, but I think it is out-of-scope for
the purpose of this Xen project.
Yes, after implementing the front driver I was not really convinced
we need these, but decided to keep. But, yes, I'll remove these from
the request and have them in the response as you suggest.

Good point, will add a note
Also, this op requests the buffers from the backend, right? I don't
think that is explicitly stated.
Yes, it requests from the backend. And I am not sure we need
to put any clarification here as all the requests come from
front to back, so it is "by design"
+ *
+ * See response format for this request.
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ * - frontend must check the corresponding response in order to see
+ * if the values reported back by the backend do match the desired ones
+ * and can be accepted.
+ * - frontend may send multiple XENCAMERA_OP_BUF_REQUEST requests before
+ * sending XENCAMERA_OP_STREAM_START request to update or tune the
+ * configuration.
Perhaps mention that every time you call it any existing buffers are destroyed
and an attempt is made to allocate new buffers, as per the request.
So calling this op again will *not* allocate additional buffers.
Well, this is somewhat different from V4L2: this operation doesn't
necessarily allocate buffers (but, in V4L2 based backed it does ;)
The real buffer allocation (according to this protocol) happens when
frontend calls XENCAMERA_OP_BUF_CREATE operation. So, despite the fact
that V4L2 based front/back do what you describe - others may not follow
this convention: this operation just declares that this number of buffer
is desired
+ * - after this request camera configuration cannot be changed, unless
+ * streaming is stopped and buffers destroyed
+ * - passing zero num_bufs in this request (after streaming has stopped
+ * and all buffers destroyed) unblocks camera configuration changes.
I think this last note should not be a note at all but part of the num_bufs
description. It reads like an afterthought right now when in fact it is
rather important.
Agree, will put it together with num_bufs description

And this op deals with frontend buffers, right?
Yes, as I explained before all requests always come from front
to back, so this is the frontend requesting the backend to use
these offsets
+ *
+ * An attempt to create multiple buffers with the same index is an error.
+ * index can be re-used after destroying the corresponding camera buffer.
+ *
+ * index - uint8_t, index of the buffer to be created.
How does this index relate to num_bufs in the previous op and with the
max-buffers setting? I expect that the index is in the range [0...num_bufs-1].
Yes, you are right. I'll put explicit index range here, so
it is clear.

Why use a uint64_t? The sequence number is a u32.
Ah, this is for V4L2 ;) But, ok, 64-bit is overkill here, will trim to 32.
