From: Helen Koike <helen.koike@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add v4l2_pipeline_stream_{enable,disable} helper functions to iterate
through the subdevices in a given stream (i.e following links from sink
to source) and call .s_stream() callback.

If .s_stream(true) fails, call .s_stream(false) in the reverse order.

The s_stream callback is only called on the very next sub-device upstream
in the pipeline, not on any further sub-devices. This is because a driver
for the device knows best in which order things need to be set up.

This is only a helper function, drivers can choose not to use it.
In many cases the same driver implements many subdevices so the driver
knows what should be done also for subdevices deeper in the stream.

Can it be used on devices that do not operate from memory to memory? I.e.
how do you ensure the s_stream is not called on further sub-devices than
those that are adjacent to what this driver controls?
Oh, I think I see your point, for example in case of an isp driver and a sensor driver.
The sensor driver can also implement several subdevices that the isp driver is not
aware of and it is the responsibility of the sensor driver to call them.
Is this a common case? Still there are the code parts in drivers that are implementing
calling s_stream in a loop similar to those in the helper functions.
Maybe they are "buggy"?
For example this code part:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss-video.c#n430
is called by the `start_stream` of a video device and I see that the
`camss_probe` function that register it also calls
v4l2_async_notifier_register, which means there might have a subdevice
from a different driver.

Anyway, for the rkisp1 it is probably problematic since it is connected to a sensor
implemented by another driver.

One option could be to check sd->dev and skip devices that are further away
but for that you'd also need to know how these sub-devices have been
reached. The graph walk does not currently provide this information.
I think it is possible to use the sd->dev (or maybe sd-owner?)
since we always only go down the stream, so when we reach a subdevice from
a different driver we can stop. (not sure though)

Thanks,
Dafna


It's true that many drivers implement similar functionality for streaming.
It's non-trivial but often makes use of some device specific knowledge, for
instance in which order things take place (such as whether the upstream
sub-device is started before the downstream one). These implementations
also do not use graph walk for the above reasons.

In the cover letter of the patch there is a list of links to code parts
that can be replaced by this helper functions.
The cover letter: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11564901/

Thanks,
Dafna

This could include, for instance, telling a sensor to place its CSI-2
transmitter to LP-11 state.
