v4l2-compliance tests for cache flags

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

 



Hi Hans, Sergey, & the list.

I'm running the latest v4l2-compliance (85ec2917 "v4l2-compliance: fix
stateful encoder tests") against the Raspberry Pi vendor 5.4 kernel
tree. That means the kernel isn't supporting
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_[INVALIDATE|CLEAN] flags on the buffers, nor is
anything advertising V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_MMAP_CACHE_HINTS. I'm
getting failures in setupMmap.

With patch "784be6a v4l2-utils: test cache_hints for MMAP queues" the
test deliberately sets V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE and
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN on the buffers that it queues.
Nothing in the kernel is expecting to manipulate those flags as the
behaviour wasn't really defined before, but the test is failed if they
aren't cleared. The v4l2 core would only clear them if the kernel
includes the patch "f5f5fa7 media: videobuf2: handle V4L2 buffer cache
flags", which currently means only linuxtv/master as that patch isn't
even in 5.8-rc3.

Is it really valid to look at the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_* flags at
all if V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_MMAP_CACHE_HINTS isn't set? If the
capability isn't advertised, surely the state of those bits is
undefined.

Thanks
  Dave
