That's an interesting proposal. I didn't like leaving decoded frames into the rdy_queue, but removing them required me to have my own list, so that I can clean it up if some buffers are never displayed.

Today all driver must track buffers that are "owned by the hardware". This is a concept dictated by the m2m framework and enforced through the ACTIVE flag. All buffers from this list must be mark as done/error/queued after streamoff of the respective queue in order to acknowledge that they are no longer in use by the HW. Not doing so will warn: videobuf2_common: driver bug: stop_streaming operation is leaving buf ... Though, there is no queue to easily iterate them. All driver endup having their own queue, or just leaving the buffers in the rdy_queue (which isn't better).

This is a > concept dictated by the m2m framework and enforced through the ACTIVE flag. I think that flag is confusing, the m2m framework would only set this flag when a buffer is enqueue into v4l2 (__enqueue_in_driver()). The application can't know whether the driver(or hardware) would still use it when that buffer is dequeued(__vb2_dqbuf() would override the state here). I was trying to suggest a flag for the new DELETE_BUF ioctl() or it could delete a buffer which the hardware could still use in the future, if we are not in the case for non-secure stateless codec. > All > buffers from this list must be mark as done/error/queued after streamoff of the > respective queue in order to acknowledge that they are no longer in use by the > HW.

Although I guess this is a problem specifically for hardware (or firmware) which can internally queue more than 1 buffer, right? Otherwise the current buffer could just stay at the top of the rdy_queue until it's removed by the driver's completion handler, timeout/error handler or context destruction.

Correct, its only an issue when you need to process multiple src buffers before producing a dst buffer. If affects stateful decoder, stateful encoders and deinterlacer as far as I'm aware.

If affects stateful decoder, stateful encoders and > deinterlacer as far as I'm aware. Is it actually necessary to keep those buffers in a list in that case, though? I can see that a deinterlacer would indeed need 2 input buffers to perform the deinterlacing operation, but those would be just known to the driver, since it's running the task currently. For a stateful decoder, wouldn't it just consume the bitstream buffer (producing something partially decoded to its own internal buffers) and return it shortly? The most realistic scenario would be for stateful encoders which could keep some input buffers as reference frames for further encoding, but then would this patch actually work for them? It would make __v4l2_m2m_try_queue never add the context to the job_queue if there are some buffers in that hw_queue list. Maybe what I need here are actual patches modifying some existing drivers. Randy, would you be able to include that in the next version? Thanks.

Display re-order. Firmware could do such batch work, taking a few bitstream buffer, then output a list graphics buffer in the display order also discard the usage of the non-display buffer when it is removed from dpb. Even in one input and one output mode, firmware need to do redo, let the driver know when a graphics buffer could be display, so firmware would usually hold the graphics buffer(frame) until its display time. Besides, I hate the driver occupied a large of memory without user's order. I would like to drop those internal buffers. > The most realistic scenario would be for stateful encoders which could > keep some input buffers as reference frames for further encoding, but > then would this patch actually work for them?

The Synaptics VideoSmart is a secure video platform(DRM), I could release a snapshot of the driver when I got the permission, that would be after the official release of the SDK.

For the 1:1 model, decoder won't hold the input(OUTPUT queue) buffer usually. While for the VP9, we have a super frame and temporal unit packing for AV1 which break the current API requirement for an AU in a buffer. The hardware would trigger multiple work for that(that means multiple irqs ack for a usual devices). For the encoder, it is a different story. > But yeah, I see that then it could hold onto those buffers until it's > their turn to display and it could be a bigger number of frames, > depending on the complexity of the codec. > >> Besides, I hate the driver occupied a large of memory without user's >> order.

In practice, in stateful decoder, we pace the consumption of input buffers, otherwise we just endup consuming the entire video into a ring buffer, which makes operation like seeks quite heavy and cause CPU spikes. That being said, I'm not sure how useful a list would be for bitstream buffers. At the moment, in my current work, I'm leaving buffers in the ready queue, and just tagging the one I have already copied into the ring buffer. And I remove them from the ready list, when the related data has been decoded. This is when I actually copy the timestamp from src to dst buffer. So in short, I don't use an extra list, but use some marking on the buffers though, to remember which one have already been copied. This is specific to ring buffer based codecs of course. The one where a second list helps is for display picture buffers. When a buffer has been filled, if its in the ready queue, I currently remove that buffer and put it in a custom list. It will then be removed when/if the firmware decides to display it. It may also never be displayed, and reused by the firmware. I short, these are the frame "owned" by the firmware and containing valid pixels. The rdy list contains free pictures buffers, and the pixels are undefined. Maybe, and I'm ready to try, I could also leave them in ready queue and opt for marking and a counter. As I'm using a job_ready() function, its my driver that decides if a device_run() should be executed or not. So what matters is basically if there is a free buffer for a new decode operation, and a counter of filled but not displayed buffer could probably do that. > The most realistic scenario would be for stateful encoders which could > keep some input buffers as reference frames for further encoding, but > then would this patch actually work for them?

OUTPUT buffers are the pictures, there is a set of internal reconstruction buffers, and finally the CAPTURE buffers are the bitstream. Bitstream buffers are subject to reordering, so conceptually the firmware holds more then 1, and reconstruction buffers are completely hidden. > > Maybe what I need here are actual patches modifying some existing > drivers.

Someone suggested introduce auxiliary queues in our meeting in Lyon a while ago, but I bet everyone got too busy with finalizing APIs, fixing fluster tests etc. The suggestion felt like it would be possible to add it after the fact. This was also being discussed in the context of supporting multi-scalers (standalone our inline with the codec, like VC8000D+). It could also cover for primary and secondary buffers, along with encoder primary, and reconstruction buffers, but also auxiliary reference data. This would also be needed to properly support Vulkan Video fwiw, and could also help with a transition to DMABuf Heaps and memory accounting. I've also had corridor discussion around having multi-instance media constroller devices. It wasn't clear how to bind the media instance to the video node instances, but assuming there is a way, it would be a tad more flexible (but massively more complex). Nicolas

I think we should answer to those questions before we decided what we want: A. Should a queue only has the buffers for the same format and sizes? B. How does an application handle those drivers requests additional queue? C. How to sync multiple buffers in a v4l2 job. I asked the same question A when I discuss this with media: v4l2: Add DELETE_BUF ioctl. If we would not add extra queue here, how does the driver filter out the most proper buffer for the current hardware output(CAPTURE) buffer. If we have multiple queues in a direction, how to make driver select between them? The question B is the debt we made, some applications have gotten used to the case they can't control the lifetime of reconstruction buffer in encoding or turn the post-processing off when the display pipeline could support tile format output. We know allow the userspace could decide where we allocate those buffers, but could the userspace decided not to handle their lifetime? The question C may more be more related to the complex case like camera senor and ISP. With this auxiliary queue, multiple video nodes are not necessary anymore. But ISP may not request all the data finish its path, ex. the ISP are not satisfied with the focus point that its senor detected or the light level, it may just drop the image data then shot again. Also the poll event could only tell us which direction could do the dequeue/enqueue work, it can't tell us which queue is ready. Should we introduce something likes sync point(fence fd) here? We may lead way to V4L3 as Tomasz suggested although I don't want to take the risk to be. If we would make a V4L3 like thing, we have better to decide it correct and could handle any future problem. > > Nicolas >

Should a queue only has the buffers for the same format and sizes? I initially started answering these, but ended up concluding this is more some sort of personal notes. I believe the discussion is diverging. Remember that in an existing API, one cannot fix all theoretical issues in one go. In order to move forward, you have to tackle very specific use case and find a way forward. If you are to break compatibility as much as you suggest, you'd rather look into writing a new API. [...]
