Kaaira Gupta Aug. 19, 2020, 6:04 p.m. UTC
In the process of making vimc compatible for multiple streams, we need
to create a frame passing process such that two different entities can
get the frame from a common entity. This isn't possible currently without
calling process_frame twice for the common entity, as process_frames
returns the frame which gets passed on.

So, to take care of this, add a get_frame callback to vimc device and
use it to get the frames for an entity from previous entity instead of
returning and passing the frames as an argument in process_frame.

Hrm, this code block is used in several places throughout this patch,
and it aliases the function parameter ved to a new device which isn't
nice. Not a problem as long as it's not used for the original VED after
of course.

But I wonder if we should instead add a helper into vimc-common.c:

struct vimc_ent_device *vimc_get_source_ved(struct vimc_ent_device *ved)
{
	struct media_entity *ent;
	struct v4l2_subdev *sd;

	ent = vimc_get_source_entity(ved->ent);
	if (!ent)
		return NULL;

	sd = media_entity_to_v4l2_subdev(ent);

	return v4l2_get_subdevdata(sd);
}

It might not be necessary though, just an idea. If you like it, it can
be a patch on it's own after the vimc_get_source_entity() moving patch.


But it does show that vimc_get_source_entity() can return NULL which
might have to be checked... though perhaps we 'know' it will always be
valid ...

Also, following the links for each entity, for each frame sounds like
quite a lot of work. I wonder if the active source entity should be
cached in each VED ...

That could be done on top anyway...

Overall, this looks like it will work, so with comments addressed how
you wish,

Yes indeed the source ved is calculated at many places in the entire
driver (other than this patchset as well), so if you like I can add a
helper for that.

is caching only for calculating the frame okay? If it is I can do it in
this series itself if you like

I think that we can add a pad number as an argument for the function and
only ask for source entity for that pad.

maybe we can instead make the frame a filed of vimc_ent_device instead of that
callback.
