Many drivers have to create its own buf_struct for a
vb2_queue to track such a state. Also driver has to
iterate over rdy_queue every times to find out a buffer
which is not sent to hardware(or firmware), this new
list just offers the driver a place to store the buffer
that hardware(firmware) has acknowledged.
One important advance about this list, it doesn't like
rdy_queue which both bottom half of the user calling
could operate it, while the v4l2 worker would as well.
The v4l2 core could only operate this queue when its
v4l2_context is not running, the driver would only
access this new hw_queue in its own worker.
Could you describe in what case such a list would be useful for a
mem2mem driver?
Today all driver must track buffers that are "owned by the hardware". This is a
concept dictated by the m2m framework and enforced through the ACTIVE flag.
I think that flag is confusing, the m2m framework would only set this
flag when a buffer is enqueue into v4l2 (__enqueue_in_driver()).
The application can't know whether the driver(or hardware) would still
use it when that buffer is dequeued(__vb2_dqbuf() would override the
state here).
I was trying to suggest a flag for the new DELETE_BUF ioctl() or it
could delete a buffer which the hardware could still use in the future,
if we are not in the case for non-secure stateless codec.
All
buffers from this list must be mark as done/error/queued after streamoff of the
respective queue in order to acknowledge that they are no longer in use by the
HW. Not doing so will warn:
videobuf2_common: driver bug: stop_streaming operation is leaving buf ...
Though, there is no queue to easily iterate them. All driver endup having their
own queue, or just leaving the buffers in the rdy_queue (which isn't better).
