[PATCH v2 1/1] v4l: Add frame end event

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add an event to signal frame end. This is not necessarily the same timestamp
as the video buffer done timestamp, and can be also subscribed by other
processes than the one controlling streaming and buffer (de)queueing.

Also make all event type constants appear as constants in documentation and
move frame sync event struct documentation after all control event
documentation.

Hi,

I decided it'd be better not to use the id field to tell it's frame end ---
that field would be better used for stream id (and we're not exactly running
out of possible values for type).

As discussed previously, I don't know when this would be needed in mainline.

Regards,
Sakari
