[RFC 00/11] vb2: Handle user cache hints, allow drivers to choose cache coherency

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

 



Hi folks,

This RFC patchset achieves two main objectives:

1. Respects cache flags passed from the user space. As no driver nor
videobuf2 has (ever?) implemented them, the two flags are replaced by a
single one (V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_SYNC) and the two old flags are
deprecated. This is done since a single flag provides the driver with
enough information on what to do. (See more info in patch 4.)

2. Allows a driver using videobuf2 dma-contig memory type to choose
whether it prefers coherent or non-coherent CPU access to buffer memory
for MMAP and USERPTR buffers. This could be later extended to be specified
by the user, and per buffer if needed.

Only dma-contig memory type is changed but the same could be done to
dma-sg as well. I can add it to the set if people are happy with the
changes to dma-contig.
