Hi, One more comment. Also adding videobuf2 maintainers to CC, as they were not added in the patch "v4l: Tell user space we're using monotonic timestamps". > From: Sakari Ailus [mailto:sakari.ailus@xxxxxx] > Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2013 6:43 PM > > Hi Kamil, > > Thanks for the patch. > > On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 10:36:04AM +0100, Kamil Debski wrote: > > Set proper timestamp type in drivers that I am sure that use either > > MONOTONIC or COPY timestamps.

In addition to my previous comment - making MONOTONIC default in videobuf2 would be inconsistent. For non videobuf2 drivers the default is UNKNOWN, so making MONOTONIC default for videobuf2 drivers is, in my opinion, wrong.
