[PATCHv3 03/11] videobuf2: add V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT flag

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

 



By setting or clearing V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT flag
user-space should be able to set or clear queue's NON_CONSISTENT
->dma_attrs. Queue's ->dma_attrs are passed to the underlying
allocator in __vb2_buf_mem_alloc(), so thus user-space is able
to request vb2 buffer's memory to be either consistent (coherent)
or non-consistent.

The patch set also adds a corresponding capability flag:
fill_buf_caps() reports V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_CACHE_HINTS when
queue supports user-space cache management hints.

+	coherent between CPU and bus) or non-consistent memory. The latter
+	can provide performance gains, for instance CPU cache sync/flush
+	operations can be avoided if the buffer is accessed by the corresponding
+	device only and CPU does not read/write to/from that buffer. However,
+	this requires extra care from the driver -- it must guarantee memory
+	consistency by issuing cache flush/sync when consistency is needed.
+	If this flag is set V4L2 will attempt to allocate vb2 buffer in
+	non-consistent memory. The flag takes effect only if the buffer is
+	used for :ref:`memory mapping <mmap>` I/O and the queue reports
+	:ref:`V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_CACHE_HINTS` capability.
