Hi Andrey, Here is a quick review of this staging V4L2 driver, and some additional notes for testing at the end: > // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 > /* > * video.c - V4L2 component for Mostcore > * > * Copyright (C) 2015, Microchip Technology Germany II GmbH & Co.

There can however be only one client that is streaming video at a time. > > fh->mdev = mdev; > v4l2_fh_init(&fh->fh, vdev); > filp->private_data = fh; > > v4l2_fh_add(&fh->fh); > > ret = most_start_channel(mdev->iface, mdev->ch_idx, &comp); This is the wrong place. This should be done on the first read() and if you poll() for data and the channel isn't started yet. Not during open(). Otherwise a simple VIDIOC_QUERYCAP would cause a channel to be started, that's not what you want. I would also strongly suggest that you use the vb2 framework: that way you get streaming I/O capabilities for free. > if (ret) { > v4l2_err(&mdev->v4l2_dev, "most_start_channel() failed\n"); > goto err_rm; > } > > return 0; > > err_rm: > v4l2_fh_del(&fh->fh); > v4l2_fh_exit(&fh->fh); > > err_dec: > atomic_dec(&mdev->access_ref); > kfree(fh); > return ret; > } > > static int comp_vdev_close(struct file *filp) > { > struct comp_fh *fh = filp->private_data; > struct most_video_dev *mdev = fh->mdev; > struct mbo *mbo, *tmp; > > /* > * We need to put MBOs back before we call most_stop_channel() > * to deallocate MBOs. > * From the other hand mostcore still calling rx_completion() > * to deliver MBOs until most_stop_channel() is called. > * Use mute to work around this issue. > * This must be implemented in core. > */ > > spin_lock_irq(&mdev->list_lock); > mdev->mute = true; > list_for_each_entry_safe(mbo, tmp, &mdev->pending_mbos, list) { > list_del(&mbo->list); > spin_unlock_irq(&mdev->list_lock); > most_put_mbo(mbo); > spin_lock_irq(&mdev->list_lock); > } > spin_unlock_irq(&mdev->list_lock); > most_stop_channel(mdev->iface, mdev->ch_idx, &comp); > mdev->mute = false; > > v4l2_fh_del(&fh->fh); > v4l2_fh_exit(&fh->fh); > > atomic_dec(&mdev->access_ref); > kfree(fh); > return 0; > } > > static ssize_t comp_vdev_read(struct file *filp, char __user *buf, > size_t count, loff_t *pos) > { > struct comp_fh *fh = filp->private_data; > struct most_video_dev *mdev = fh->mdev; > int ret = 0; > > if (*pos) > return -ESPIPE; > > if (!mdev) > return -ENODEV; > > /* wait for the first buffer */ > if (!(filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK)) { > if (wait_event_interruptible(mdev->wait_data, data_ready(mdev))) > return -ERESTARTSYS; > } > > if (!data_ready(mdev)) > return -EAGAIN; > > while (count > 0 && data_ready(mdev)) { > struct mbo *const mbo = get_top_mbo(mdev); > int const rem = mbo->processed_length - fh->offs; > int const cnt = rem < count ? rem : count; > > if (copy_to_user(buf, mbo->virt_address + fh->offs, cnt)) { > v4l2_err(&mdev->v4l2_dev, "read: copy_to_user failed\n"); > if (!ret) > ret = -EFAULT; > return ret; > } > > fh->offs += cnt; > count -= cnt; > buf += cnt; > ret += cnt; > > if (cnt >= rem) { > fh->offs = 0; > spin_lock_irq(&mdev->list_lock); > list_del(&mbo->list); > spin_unlock_irq(&mdev->list_lock); > most_put_mbo(mbo); > } > } > return ret; > } > > static __poll_t comp_vdev_poll(struct file *filp, poll_table *wait) > { > struct comp_fh *fh = filp->private_data; > struct most_video_dev *mdev = fh->mdev; > __poll_t mask = 0; > > /* only wait if no data is available */ > if (!data_ready(mdev)) > poll_wait(filp, &mdev->wait_data, wait); poll_wait should always be done, also when there is data available.

Instead just route .vidioc_g/s/try_fmt_vid_cap to the same function. There is only one hardcoded format, so no need to differentiate between the three ops. > > static int vidioc_querycap(struct file *file, void *priv, > struct v4l2_capability *cap) > { > struct comp_fh *fh = priv; > struct most_video_dev *mdev = fh->mdev; > > strlcpy(cap->driver, "v4l2_component", sizeof(cap->driver)); That's a bad name.

The convention is that it should be 1) unique and 2) start with a prefix describing the bus.

It's available as part of our v4l-utils repository: https://git.linuxtv.org//v4l-utils.git First just run it as 'v4l2-compliance -d /dev/videoX' and fix any issues (ask me if you have questions). Next add the '-s' option to also test read() support. As mentioned, I think you should try and switch to the vb2 framework since you'll get a lot of functionality almost for free, and most applications assume that the streaming I/O ioctls are available.
