Extend vb2_buffer and vb2_queue structs with cache management members. V4L2 UAPI already contains two buffer flags which user-space, supposedly, can use to control buffer cache sync: - V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE - V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN None of these, however, do anything at the moment. This patch set is intended to change it. Since user-space cache management hints are supposed to be implemented on a per-buffer basis we need to extend vb2_buffer struct with two new memebers ->need_cache_sync_on_prepare and ->need_cache_sync_on_finish, which will store corresponding user-space hints. In order to preserve the existing behaviour, user-space cache managements flags will be handled only by those drivers that permit user-space cache hints. That's the purpose of vb2_queue ->allow_cache_hints member. Driver must set ->allow_cache_hints during queue initialisation to enable cache management hints mechanism. Only drivers that set ->allow_cache_hints during queue initialisation will handle user-space cache management hints. Otherwise hints will be ignored.
