Hello, V3 of the patchset, reshuffled and updated. - Most notable changes: a) Added a simple helper function vb2_queue_allows_cache_hints(), which return true if queue has ->allow_cache_hints and when ->memory is VB2_MEMORY_MMAP. That is - user space cache and memory consistency hints are now specifically for MMAP buffers and queues that support hints. b) Set V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_CACHE_HINTS capability bit only when queue has ->allow_cache_hints and ->io_modes has VB2_MMAP bit set c) Clear "incompatible" request's flags when queue does not permit cache and memory consistency hints (IOW, when vb2_queue_allows_cache_hints() return false) Minor changes: - Squashed V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_CACHE_HINTS and V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT patches. - Added more documentation and code comments.

The patch set attempts to preserve the existing behvaiour - cache sync is performed in ->prepare() and ->finish() (unless the buffer is DMA exported). User space can request “default behavior” override with cache management hints, which are handled on a per-buffer basis and should be supplied with v4l2_buffer ->flags during buffer preparation. There are two possible hints: - V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE No cache sync on ->finish() - V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN No cache sync on ->prepare() In order to keep things on the safe side, we also require driver to explicitly state which of its queues (if any) support user space cache management hints (such queues should have ->allow_cache_hints bit set). The patch set also (to some extent) simplifies allocators' ->prepare() and ->finish() callbacks. Namely, we move cache management decision making to the upper - core - layer. For example, if, previously, we would have something like this vb2_buffer_done() vb2_dc_finish() if (buf->db_attach) return; where each allocators' ->finish() callback would either bail out (DMA exported buffer, for instance) or sync, now that "bail out or sync" decision is made before we call into the allocator. Along with cache management hints, user space is also able to adjust queue's memory consistency attributes. Memory consistency attribute (dma_attrs) is per-queue, yet it plays its role on the allocator level, when we allocate buffers’ private memory (planes). For the time being, only one consistency attribute is supported: DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT.
