[Kasireddy, Vivek] My understanding is that applications are supposed to wait until
the encoding is done before submitting another frame/fd. I am not sure if it is naive
to assume that. Anyway, what do you suggest needs to happen if they submit
another fd while the encoding of the previous fd has not been completed yet?
Also, my goal is to somehow get the fd from the application (Qemu) to the encoder.
I did not find any other way to easily accomplish this without using the scanout and
drawable. Given this, do you think protecting access to encoder->dmabuf_data with
a mutex would be sufficient to avoid races? Or, I guess I could just pass dmabuf_data
as an extra parameter to encode_frame and avoid storing it in the encoder. Or, is there
a more elegant (and race-free) way to do this that you can suggest?
