Some UVC video cameras contain metadata in their payload headers. This
patch extracts that data, adding more clock synchronisation information,
on both bulk and isochronous endpoints and makes it available to the
user space on a separate video node, using the V4L2_CAP_META_CAPTURE
capability and the V4L2_BUF_TYPE_META_CAPTURE buffer queue type. Even
though different cameras will have different metadata formats, we use
the same V4L2_META_FMT_UVC pixel format for all of them. Users have to
parse data, based on the specific camera model information. This
version of the patch only creates such metadata nodes for cameras,
specifying a UVC_QUIRK_METADATA_NODE quirk flag.

v7: support up to two metadata formats per camera - the standard one and
an optional private one, if specified in device information

Hi Guennadi,

Thank you for the patch. We're getting very close, I only have small comments, 
please see below.

I don't think this is correct anymore, as we'll use different 4CCs for 
different vendor metadata. How would you like to rephrase the commit message ?

I think we can remove the UVC_DEV_FLAG_METADATA_NODE flag. We can use the 
metadata format specified in the device information structure if present, and 
default to the standard metadata format otherwise. A metadata video node will 
always be registered, which I think is the right thing to do as exposing 
timestamp information to userspace is useful.

Do you see any adverse effect of registering a metadata video node 
unconditionally ?

Do you think we could reuse uvc_ioctl_querycap() as-is ?

You need to take the stream->mutex lock here to protect against races with the 
set format ioctl.

I expect checkpatch to complain here that a blank line is missing between 
variable declaration and code. I would thus write it

	int ret;

	ret = uvc_meta_v4l2_try_format(file, fh, format);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

Who is that comment for ? :-)

Could https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg122737.html 
help ?

uvc_register_video() doesn't set vdev->queue, because the driver handles 
locking manually. While thus could possibly be reworked, careful consideration 
is needed, so I would probably keep queue unset in uvc_register_video_device() 
and set it here.

You should set this before registering the video device, otherwise you risk a 
race with userspace.

With the uvc_register_video_device() helper this function would become

int uvc_meta_register(struct uvc_streaming *stream)
{
	struct uvc_device *dev = stream->dev;
	struct video_device *vdev = &stream->meta.vdev;
	struct uvc_video_queue *queue = &stream->meta.queue;

	/*
	 * Register metadata device nodes only if the METADATA_NODE quirk is
	 * set.
	 */
	if (!(dev->quirks & UVC_DEV_FLAG_METADATA_NODE))
		return 0;

	stream->cur_meta_format = V4L2_META_FMT_UVC;

	/*
	 * The video interface queue uses manual locking and thus does not set
	 * the queue pointer. Set it manually here.
	 */
	vdev->queue = &queue->queue;

	return uvc_register_video_device(dev, stream, vdev, queue,
					 V4L2_BUF_TYPE_META_CAPTURE,
					 &uvc_meta_fops, &uvc_meta_ioctl_ops);
}

What do you think, is it worth it ?

And I think a blank line here and before the switch would improve readability.

To underline the rationale behind the decision to drop some headers, I would 
phrase this as

The buf parameter is unused, you can remove it. mem isn't modified, I would

And scr should be const too.

If the metadata buffer overflows should we also set the error bit like we do 
for video buffers ? I have mixed feelings about this, I'd appreciate your

FYI, Arnd has posted https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10076887/. If the

The meta pointer can be unaligned as the structure is packed and its size 
isn't a multiple of the size of the largest field (and it can contain an 
unspecified amount of vendor data anyway). You thus can't access it directly 
on all architectures, you will need to use the put_unaligned macro. As I 
haven't checked whether all architectures can handle unaligned accesses 
without generating a trap, I would store the USB frame number in a local 
variable and use the put_unaligned macro output of the IRQ disabled section 
(feel free to show me that I'm unnecessarily cautious :-)).

I find the name uvc_video_step_buffers() a bit confusing and would have gone 
for uvc_video_next_buffers(), but that might just be because I'm not used to 
the new name :-)

I still dislike the fact that the video and metadata buffers are handled 
differently :-/ Do you really think it would be a bad idea to pass both as 
struct uvc_buffer ** ?

If we set the error bit when the metadata buffer overflows (see above) then we 
shouldn't overwrite it unconditionally here.

Nitpicking, as the uvc_meta_device structure isn't really needed as a separate 
structure, I'd write this

	struct {
		struct video_device vdev;
		struct uvc_video_queue queue;
		__u32 format;
	} meta;

I think this belongs to patch 1/3. I'll move it there.

For your convenience I've rebased your patch series on top of the two patches 
I mentioned and added another patch on top that contains fixes for all the 
small issues mentioned above. The result is available at

	git://linuxtv.org/pinchartl/media.git uvc/metadata

There are just a handful of issues or questions I haven't addressed, if we 
handle them I think we'll be good to go.

In your rebased version you've also dropped the hunk for 
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c adding a description for the new 
V4L2_META_FMT_UVC format - is that on purpose?

Something like

"
Some UVC video cameras contain metadata in their payload headers. This 
patch extracts that data, adding more clock synchronisation information, 
on both bulk and isochronous endpoints and makes it available to the user 
space on a separate video node, using the V4L2_CAP_META_CAPTURE capability 
and the V4L2_BUF_TYPE_META_CAPTURE buffer queue type. By default, only the 
V4L2_META_FMT_UVC pixel format is available from those nodes. However, 
cameras can be added to the device ID table to additionally specify their 
own metadata format, in which case that format will also become available 
from the metadata node.

No, apart from confusion on behalf of applications and users.

AFAICS it still has

	cap->capabilities = V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS | V4L2_CAP_STREAMING
			  | chain->caps;

in it, which doesn't suit the metadata node?

Well, strictly speaking you don't? The buffersize is constant and getting 
the current metadata format is an atomic read.

I think it would be good to know if we ever run into such overruns. 
Setting an error flag is more likely to be noticed and reported than a 
printk()?

I think you're right. But __put_unaligned_cpu64() is an inline function, 
not a macro, so, no local variable is needed?

I don't like step_buffers either, but next_buffers doesn't sound a lot 
better to me. Anyway, if you prefer that, let's rename.

This will result in one superfluous assignment per bulk decode call :-) 
But ok, let's do that, will look better indeed. We couls then also change 
the uvc_queue_next_buffer() function similarly to have an input-output 
parameter instead of returning the next buffer, but that isn't related, 
would be a separate patch.

Thanks for rebasing. I've addressed the remaining issues, and once I get

I'd say this is debatable, isn't the capabilities field supposed to include 
all capabilities from all video nodes for the device ? chain->caps would need 
to include metadata capability in that case.

Code reuse is not a big deal as the function is small, but getting the 
capabilities value right is important regardless.

I was concerned by the race condition due to lack of memory barriers, but if 
userspace issues concurrent G_FMT and S_FMT calls the order isn't guaranteed 
anyway, so you're right about that.

Even if it's a function I'm not 100% confident that it can work well with 
interrupts disabled on all architectures, but I'm probably overcautious.

Hm, but that's how applications would naturally work - open a node, query 
its capabilities and handle it accordingly. What good would be having 
equal capabilities on all nodes? Why do you think that should be the case?

OK, so we set an error.

Quoting https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/uapi/v4l/vidioc-querycap.html,

__u32 	capabilities

Available capabilities of the physical device as a whole, see Device 
Capabilities Flags. The same physical device can export multiple devices in /
dev (e.g. /dev/videoX, /dev/vbiY and /dev/radioZ). The capabilities field 
should contain a union of all capabilities available around the several V4L2 
devices exported to userspace. For all those devices the capabilities field 
returns the same set of capabilities. This allows applications to open just 
one of the devices (typically the video device) and discover whether video, 
vbi and/or radio are also supported.

__u32 	device_caps

Device capabilities of the opened device, see Device Capabilities Flags. 
Should contain the available capabilities of that specific device node. So, 
for example, device_caps of a radio device will only contain radio related 
capabilities and no video or vbi capabilities. This field is only set if the 
capabilities field contains the V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS capability. Only the 
capabilities field can have the V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS capability, device_caps 
will never set V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS.


By the way, on a side note, how have you tested this patch series ? I'd like 
to perform some tests on my side too, and avoid reinventing the wheel if 
possible.

Ah, ok, thanks, will try to do that then.

I modified the capture-example tool to dequeue metadata buffers, I've also 
added some primitive buffer parsing. If you want I can send you that 
modified version off-list.

Hi Laurent,

While testing the new patch version, we did introduce a couple of 
differences:

1. We cannot (easily) reuse .vidioc_querycap() - the metadata node uses 
v4l2_fh_open() directly, so, it has a different struct file::private_data 
pointer.

2. After your video device unification, the order has swapped: now 
/dev/video0 is a metadata node and /dev/video1 is a video node. Is that 
how you wanted to have this or you don't mind or shall I swap them back? 
For now I've swapped them back, I think that would be more appropriate.

Thanks

OK, no problem, it's not a big deal.ยต

I agree, that's better, thank you.
