+VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING - VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING - Get or set routing between streams of media pads in a media entity.

+

+ :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_routing`.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+These ioctls are used to get and set the routing in a media entity.
+The routing configuration determines the flows of data inside an entity.
+
+Drivers report their current routing tables using the
+``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` ioctl and application may enable or disable routes
+with the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` ioctl, by adding or removing routes and
+setting or clearing flags of the ``flags`` field of a
+struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`.
+
+All stream configurations are reset when ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is called. This
+means that the userspace mut reconfigure all streams after calling the ioctl
typo: mut -> must
+with e.g. ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``.
+
+A special case for routing are routes marked with
+``V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_SOURCE`` flag. These routes are used to describe
+source endpoints on sensors and the sink fields are unused.
This is very vague. As mentioned in my review for 05/19 I think this flag should
be renamed to INTERNAL_SOURCE. Then the last sentence can change to:
"These routes are used to describe source endpoints where the stream is internally
created (such as a sensor) and so the sink fields are unused."
+
+When inspecting routes through ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` and the application
+provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes
+the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the
+value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory
+for all the route entries and call ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` again.

Same issue as above, it's very vague.
"Used to describe a route source endpoint where the stream is internally
created (such as a sensor) and so the sink fields are unused."
I think this and the above suggestion are good, I'll make the change.
