Hello, Previous emails had the wrong patch set attached. Those I send now contain the correct patches. Sorry for any trouble. I have applied changes suggested by Kukjin Kim. Also cache handling has been improved. I would be grateful for your comments. Original cover letter ant detailed change log has been attached below. Best regards, Kamil Debski * Changelog: ================== Changes since v4 ================== 1) Changes suggested by Kukjin Kim from: - removed comment arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/include/mach/map.h - changed device name to s5p-mfc (removed "5", MFC version number) also removed the version number from the name of MFC device file - added GPL license to arch/arm/plat-s5p/dev-mfc.c - removed unused include file from dev-mfc.c and unnecessary comments 2) Cache handling improvement: - changed cache handling to use dma_mape_single and dma_unmap_single ================== Changes since v3 ================== 1) Update to the v6 videobuf2 API (here thanks go to Marek Szyprowski) - s5p_mfc_buf_negotiate and s5p_mfc_buf_setup_plane functions have been merged - queue initialization has been adapted to the new API - use of the allocator memops has been changed, now there are single memops for all the allocator contexts 2) Split of the s5p_mfc_try_run and s5p_mfc_handle_frame_int functions - parts of the s5p_mfc_try_run function have been moved to separate functions (s5p_mfc_get_new_ctx, s5p_mfc_run_dec_last_frames, s5p_mfc_run_dec_frame, s5p_mfc_run_get_inst_no, s5p_mfc_run_return_inst s5p_mfc_run_init_dec,s5p_mfc_run_init_dec_buffers) - s5p_mfc_handle_frame_int has been split to the following functions: s5p_mfc_handle_frame_all_extracted, s5p_mfc_handle_frame_new and s5p_mfc_handle_frame to handle different cases 3) Remove remaining magic numbers and tidy up comments ================== Changes since v2 ================== 1) Update to newest videobuf2 API This is the major change from v2. The videobuf2 API will hopefully have no more major API changes. Buffer initialization has been moved from buf_prepare callback to buf_init to simplify the process. Locking mechanism has been modified to the requirements of new videobuf2 version. 2) Code cleanup Removed more magic contants and replaced them with appropriate defines. Changed code to use unlocked_ioctl instead of ioctl in v4l2 file ops. 3) Allocators All internal buffer allocations are done using the selected vb2 allocator, instead of using CMA functions directly. ================== Changes since v1 ================== 1) Cleanup accoridng to Peter Oh suggestions on the mailing list (Thanks). * Original cover letter: ============== Introduction ============== The purpose of this RFC is to discuss the driver for a hw video codec embedded in the new Samusng's SoCs. Multi Format Codec 5.0 is able to handle video decoding of in a range of formats. So far no hardware codec was supported in V4L2 and this would be the first one. I guess there are more similar device that would benefit from a V4L2 unified interface. I suggest a separate control class for codec devices - V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_CODEC. Internally the driver uses videobuf2 framework and CMA memory allocator. I am aware that those have not yet been merged, but I wanted to start discussion about the driver earlier so it could be merged sooner. The driver posted here is the initial version, so I suppose it will require more work. ================== Device interface ================== The driver principle is based on the idea of memory-to-memory devices: it provides a single video node and each opened file handle gets its own private context with separate buffer queues. Each context consist of 2 buffer queues: OUTPUT (for source buffers, i.e. encoded video frames) and CAPTURE (for destination buffers, i.e. decoded raw video frames). The process of decoding video data from stream is a bit more complicated than typical memory-to-memory processing, that's why the m2m framework is not directly used (it is too limited for this case). The main reason for this is the fact that the CAPTURE buffers can be dequeued in a different order than they queued. The hw block decides which buffer has been completely processed. This is due to the structure of most compressed video streams - use of B frames causes that decoding and display order may be different. ============================== Decoding initialization path ============================== First the OUTPUT queue is initialized. With S_FMT the application chooses which video format to decode and what size should be the input buffer. Fourcc values have been defined for different codecs e.g. V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264 for h264. Then the OUTPUT buffers are requested and mmaped. The stream header frame is loaded into the first buffer, queued and streaming is enabled. At this point the hardware is able to start processing the stream header and afterwards it will have information about the video dimensions and the size of the buffers with raw video data. The next step is setting up the CAPTURE queue and buffers. The width, height, buffer size and minimum number of buffers can be read with G_FMT call. The application can request more output buffer if necessary. After requesting and mmaping buffers the device is ready to decode video stream. The stream frames (ES frames) are written to the OUTPUT buffers, and decoded video frames can be read from the CAPTURE buffers. When no more source frames are present a single buffer with bytesused set to 0 should be queued. This will inform the driver that processing should be finished and it can dequeue all video frames that are still left. The number of such frames is dependent on the stream and its internal structure (how many frames had to be kept as reference frames for decoding, etc). =============== Usage summary =============== This is a step by step summary of the video decoding (from user application point of view, with 2 treads and blocking api): 01. S_FMT(OUTPUT, V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264, ...) 02. REQ_BUFS(OUTPUT, n) 03. for i=1..n MMAP(OUTPUT, i) 04. put stream header to buffer #1 05. QBUF(OUTPUT, #1) 06. STREAM_ON(OUTPUT) 07. G_FMT(CAPTURE) 08. REQ_BUFS(CAPTURE, m) 09. for j=1..m MMAP(CAPTURE, j) 10. for j=1..m QBUF(CAPTURE, #j) 11. STREAM_ON(CAPTURE) display thread: 12. DQBUF(CAPTURE) -> got decoded video data in buffer #j 13. display buffer #j 14. QBUF(CAPTURE, #j) 15. goto 12 parser thread: 16. put next ES frame to buffer #i 17. QBUF(OUTPUT, #i) 18. DQBUF(OUTPUT) -> get next empty buffer #i 19. goto 16 ... Similar usage sequence can be achieved with single threaded application and non-blocking api with poll() call. Branch with MFC, CMA and videobuf2 will be soon available at http://git.infradead.org/users/kmpark/linux-2.6-samsung/shortlog/refs/heads/vb2-mfc-fimc This tree is based on 2.6.37 rc4. Please have a look at the code and the idea of how to introduce codec devices to V4L2. Comments will be very much appreciated.
