This field has been in the uAPI since v6.3, and applications might be using it, even if only to set it to 0. Removing this field will break compilation of such applications. Just fix the stream support instead, rather than removing it, as you did in your original patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20240401233725.2401-1-laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com/ Regards, Hans > > #define V4L2_SUBDEV_MBUS_CODE_CSC_COLORSPACE 0x00000001 > > base-commit: 39cd87c4eb2b893354f3b850f916353f2658ae6f

But I agree that there is a theoretical possibility someone might have set this to zero and thus compilation could fail. I'm sure this could be handled on the application still as there was never anything to configure here. Breaking binary compatibility would be a real issue but that's not what we have here.

It's silly to remove support when you can just fix it. Yes, there are (and have been for a long time) two crop APIs (crop and selection), but as long as drivers just have to deal with one API (selection), I don't really see why you care if applications use the crop API. You can't remove that ioctl anyway, and the impact is minimal if it is handled in the core. It is really too late to remove the stream field from the crop struct. Perhaps instead make a patch adding a comment to v4l2-subdev.h that that crop struct is frozen and must not be extended with new features going forward, to prevent the same thing happening in the future. Sorry, but I'm not going to accept this patch. It is trivial to fix the crop stream support, and that patch looks good. And adding a patch to note that v4l2_subdev_crop is frozen is fine as well and makes perfect sense. Regards, Hans

I should have replied to this e-mail instead of an earlier one in the thread. No application should set the stream field to anything else than 0, as stream support is disabled in the mainline kernel. However, even if I think the risk is very small, there is indeed a risk than an application may be setting it to 0. > Perhaps instead make a patch adding a comment to v4l2-subdev.h that that crop struct > is frozen and must not be extended with new features going forward, to prevent the > same thing happening in the future.

And adding a patch to note that v4l2_subdev_crop is > frozen is fine as well and makes perfect sense. Another option is to keep the stream field in the structure, document it as not being used (which is the current behaviour), and dropping the partial handling inside the kernel. I have a feeling this may not be favoured by many though :-)

Fair enough. Tomi has reviewed the original patch ("[PATCH] media: v4l2-subdev: Fix stream handling for crop API", see [1]). I think we can merge it.

When support for streams was added to the V4L2 subdev API, the v4l2_subdev_crop structure was extended with a stream field, but the field was not handled in the core code that translates the VIDIOC_SUBDEV_[GS]_CROP ioctls to the selection API. This could be fixed, but the crop API is deprecated and shouldn't be used by new userspace code. It's therefore best to avoid extending it with new features. Drop the stream field from the v4l2_subdev_crop structure, and update the documentation and kernel code accordingly.
