Im not sure whether this is the case. Doesn't bytesperline refer only to the data layout in memory buffer written by the DMA? i.e. does padding really makes sens for JPEG files? >> 2) and sizeimage is unknow for jpeg. >> >> how about for JPEG >> 1) host driver gets bytesperline from sensor driver. >> 2) sizeimage refilled by host driver after dma transfer done( a >> frame is received) You might want to use v4l2_buffer::bytesused to inform user space about the actual size of the captured frame, which would be set before a buffer is dequeued from the driver. The size of JPEG file will depend on the content, so IMHO you could not use v4l2_pix_fmt::sizeimage in such way. >> thanks. > > How is this done currently on other V4L2 drivers?

I the S5P FIMC driver I used to set sizeimage to some arbitrary value, (it's not yet in mainline kernel), e.g. sizeimage = width * height * C, where C = 1 bytesperline = width. However it would be useful to make the C coefficient dependent on JPEG compression quality, not to make the image buffer unnecessary large. I thought about creating a separate control class for JPEG but the quality control was so far everything I would need to put in this class. It's on my to do list to figure out what controls set would cover the standard.
