Hello, please review the new version of v4l2 loopback driver.
I fixed up comments to the previous submission, waiting for the new ones :-),
reposting for patchwork tool

---
This patch introduces v4l2 loopback module

From: Vasily Levin <vasaka@gmail.com>

This is v4l2 loopback driver which can be used to make available any userspace
video as v4l2 device. Initialy it was written to make videoeffects available
to Skype, but in fact it have many more uses.

Priority: normal

Hi Vasily,

It's still on my todo list, but I have had very little time. If you still 
haven't seen a review in two weeks time, then please send me a reminder.

Sorry about this, normally I review things like this much sooner but it has 
been very hectic lately.

Regards,

	Hans

Hi Hans,

Thanks for updating, driver is still waiting for review, I am glad to
here that it is on a todo list :-)

Vasily,

It is on my todo list. I've postponed it since it is valuable to have some
discussions about this driver.

The issue I see is that the V4L drivers are meant to support real devices. This
driver that is a loopback for some userspace driver. I don't discuss its value
for testing purposes or other random usage, but I can't see why this should be
at upstream kernel.

So, I'm considering to add it at v4l-dvb tree, but as an out-of-tree driver
only. For this to happen, probably, we'll need a few adjustments at v4l build.

Cheers,
Mauro

Mauro,

ok, let it be out-of -tree driver, this is also good as I do not have
to adapt the driver to each new kernel, but I want to argue alittle
about Inclusion of the driver into upstream kernel.

 Main reason for inclusion to the kernel is ease of use, as I
understand installing the out-of-tree driver for some kernel needs
downloading of the whole v4l-dvb tree(am I right?).

 Loopback gives one opportunities to do many fun things with video
streams and when it needs just one step to begin using it chances that
someone will do something useful with the driver are higher.

 Awareness that there is such thing as loopback is also. If the driver
is in upstream tree - more people will see it and more chances that
more people will participate in loopback getiing better.

 vivi is an upstream driver :-)

I, as a target user of vloopback, agree that having it in mainline
would be really handy. Think that with a stable vloopback solution,
with device detection and parameter setting, we can really make PTP
digicams as webcams[1] useful, right now this is tricky and very
uncomfortable on kernel update.

Even vivi can be seen as a particular case of a vloopback device, can't
it?

This is, in fact, a good reason why we shouldn't add it upstream: instead of
adding proper V4L interface to PTP and other similar stuff, people could just
do some userspace hack with a in-kernel loopback (or even worse: work against
Open Source community, by writing binary-only drivers), and use the loopback to
make it work with existing applications (ok, there are other forms to provide
such things, but we shouldn't make it even easier).

I can see the value of a video loopback for development and tests, but those
people could easily download some tree with the video loopback driver and use
it.

I'm afraid not. The contributions we generally receive on other drivers from
developers that don't participate on v4l-dvb community are generally just API
fixups and new board additions. In fact, the people that can help with this
driver will be already developing using v4l-dvb tree, so, I doubt you'll have
more contributions by having it on kernel.

Vivi is just a driver skeleton. It could eventually be removed from upstream,
without any real damage. 

Yet, it is the easiest way for a video app developer to test their driver.

Also, vivi is very useful to test newer core improvements, before actually
damag^Wchanging the internal API's at the real drivers. I used it with this
objective during video_ioctl2() callback changes, during videobuf split into a
core and a helper module, and on other similar situations.

On the other hand, It is dubious that a distro would provide a kernel with this
module enabled. So, even being at the kernel tree, for you to use it, you'll
need to download the kernel and compile it by hand, or use v4l-dvb (it is the
same case of the DVB dummy frontend, for example).

Cheers,
Mauro

It's better to use a debug module option instead.

Besides the fact that it is longer than 80 characters, these comment lines

Please use strlcpy. It's safer.

Hmm. Wouldn't it be better to postpone allocating memory until either write or
streamon is called? This call also doesn't handle the case were the
application called this more than once with different pixel formats.

Right :-) Doing this as module parameters is much nicer.

Use u8 for kernel drivers instead of __u8.

Please also use struct v4l2_device in this driver. See vivi.c and
Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-framework.txt. New drivers should use this so
that they can take advantage of future framework improvements.

I'm sure there is more to be done here, but let's first fix these issues.
Quite a few of the comments I made concern codingstyle. It may seem silly,
but having all drivers conform to the kernel codingstyle as much as is
possible will make them a lot more readable and thus much easier to review.

Thanks!

This patch introduces v4l2 loopback module

From: Vasily Levin <vasaka@gmail.com>

This is v4l2 loopback driver which can be used to make available any userspace
video as v4l2 device. Initially it was written to make videoeffects available
to Skype, but in fact it have many more uses.

Priority: normal
