Reference frame compression is a feature added in G2 decoder to compress
frame buffers so that the bandwidth of storing/loading reference frames
can be reduced, especially when the resolution of decoded stream is of
high definition.

Compressed help to increase the performance of the whole stack, it could
be up to 50 fps (against 45 fps) on IMX8MQ.
The impact of compressed frames is confirmed when using perf to monitor
the number of memory accesses with or without compression feature.
The following command
perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/cycles/,imx8_ddr0/read-cycles/,imx8_ddr0/write-cycles/ gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=Jockey_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_HEVC_RAW.hevc ! queue ! h265parse ! v4l2slh265dec ! fakesink

give us these results
without compression feature:
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        14965816743      imx8_ddr0/cycles/
          889197312      imx8_ddr0/read-cycles/
         1819348862      imx8_ddr0/write-cycles/

       18.707373001 seconds time elapsed

with compression feature:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        13750218243      imx8_ddr0/cycles/
          402428744      imx8_ddr0/read-cycles/
         1255676693      imx8_ddr0/write-cycles/

       17.188320061 seconds time elapsed

As expected the number of read/write cycles are really lower when compression
is used.

The patch looks good, but I feel we still need to answer some questions
before it can be merged.

* Is this a G2 feature? If so, can it be used on VP9?


It isn't tagged as HEVC feature in the hardware spec so I guess it could
be used for VP9 too.



* Enabling compression needs more memory. You are proposing
to allocate frames and compressed frames contiguously,
but so we need to measure the impact of that. Perhaps separate
buffers will be better to avoid CMA pressure? Perhaps a given
user will want to turn this off to reduce memory usage?


I could add a module parameter to turn on/off this feature but the among
of additional memory used is very limited compare to frame size.
For example for a 3840x2160 video it adds 68KB while the frame itself is around 12150KB.



More importantly, I'm wary of adding HEVC features
without being able to test anything.

Can you work with NXP maintainers to get the GPC/BLK-CTRL [1] sorted out?


Yes, I have already give a try:

Then, we have the issue of missing mainlined userspace as well,
but I suppose that's well underway :-)
