When calling VIDIOC_REQBUFS v4l2-compliance fails with this message:

  fail: v4l2-test-buffers.cpp(476): q.reqbufs(node, 1)
  test VIDIOC_REQBUFS/CREATE_BUFS/QUERYBUF: FAIL

By looking at the v4l2-compliance code the failure happens when trying
to request V4L2_MEMORY_USERPTR buffers without freeing explicitly the
previously allocated V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP buffers.

This would suggest that when changing the memory field in struct
v4l2_requestbuffers the driver is supposed to free automatically any
previous allocated buffers, and looking for inspiration at the code in
drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-core.c::vb2_core_reqbufs() seems to
confirm this interpretation; however gspca is just returning -EBUSY in
this case.

Removing the special handling for the case of a different memory value
fixes the compliance failure.

This should be safe, but I'd really like a comment from someone with a more
global knowledge of v4l2.

If my interpretation about how drivers should behave when the value of the
memory field changes is correct, I could send also a documentation update for
Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/vidioc-reqbufs.xml

Just let me know.

Thanks,
   Antonio

Your interpretation is correct. Calling REQBUFS again should discard the old
buffers and re-allocate new ones. Except, of course, if the old buffers are
in use, then -EBUSY should be returned.

reqbufs is used internally and this change will allow changing
gspca_dev->memory from USERPTR / MMAP to GSPCA_MEMORY_READ
please replace this check with a check to only allow
rb->memory to be GSPCA_MEMORY_READ when coming from GSPCA_MEMORY_NO
or GSPCA_MEMORY_READ

Hans

OK, thanks, I'll take a look again later this week.

In the meantime, if patches from 1 to 5 are OK, can we have them merged
so I will just resubmit the last two in the set?

Ciao,

Not sure when I'll have time to do this, I would prefer to also take
v2 of patch 6 and 7 while at it. But I agree that there is no need
to pick op patches 1 - 5. I'll pick them up from patchwork when I've
time.

Regards,

Hans
