Hello everybody,
This patch series refactories exsiting Videobuf2, so that not only V4L2
but also other frameworks can use it to manage buffer and utilize
queue.
I would separate existing Videobuf2-core framework into two parts - common
and v4l2-specific part. This work is as follows :
1. Separate existing vb2_buffer structure into common buffer and
v4l2-specific parts by removing v4l2-specific members and
embedding it into vb2_v4l2_buffer structure like this:
struct vb2_v4l2_buffer {
struct vb2_buffer vb2;
struct v4l2_buffer v4l2_buf;
struct v4l2_plane v4l2_planes[VIDEO_MAX_PLANES];
};
2. Abstract the v4l2-specific elements, and specify them when the device
drives use them. For example, vb2_v4l2_buffer structure can be abstracted
by vb2_buffer structure, and device drivers can get framework-specific
object such as vb2_v4l2_buffer by using container_of().
3. Separate VB2-core framework into real VB2-core and v4l2-specific part.
This means that it moves V4L2-specific parts of VB2-core to v4l2-specific
part because current VB2-core framework has some codes dependent of V4L2.
As a result, we will have two VB2 files - videobuf2-core.c and
videobuf2-v4l2.c.
Why do we try to make the VB2 framework to be common?
As you may know, current DVB framework uses ringbuffer mechanism to demux
MPEG-2 TS data and pass it to userspace. However, this mechanism requires
extra memory copy because DVB framework provides only read() system call for
application - read() system call copies the kernel data to user-space buffer.
So if we can use VB2 framework which supports streaming I/O and buffer
sharing mechanism, then we could enhance existing DVB framework by removing
the extra memory copy - with VB2 framework, application can access the kernel
data directly through mmap system call.
This patch series is the first step for it.
We have a plan for this work as follows:
1. Separate existing VB2 framework into three parts - VB2 common, VB2-v4l2,
and VB2-dvb. Of course, this change should not affect other v4l2-based
device drivers. This patch series includes some parts of this step.
2. Add new APIs for DVB streaming I/O. These APIs will be implemented
in VB2-dvb framework. So, we can remove unnecessary memory copy between
kernel-space and user-space by using these new APIs.
However, we leaves legacy interfaces as-is for backward compatibility.
We are working on this project with Mauro and have a discussion with him
on IRC channel weekly. Nowaday, we are discussing more detailed DVB user
scenario for streaming I/O.
The final goal of this project is to enhance current DVB framework.
The first mission is to achieve zero-copy functionality between kernel-space
and user-space with mmap system call. More missions are under consideration:
i.e., we could share the buffer not only between kernel-space and user-space
but also between devices - demux, hw video codec - by exporting a buffer
to dmabuf fd with VB2 framework.
Any suggestions and comments are welcome.
Best regards,
Junghak
