Some stateful decoders are capable of fully parsing a bytestream, but others require that userspace pre-parses the bytestream into frames or fields (see the corresponding pixelformat descriptions for details). If this flag is set, then this pre-parsing step is not required (but still possible, of course).

These include capability enumeration, initialization, decoding, seek, pause, dynamic resolution change, drain and end of stream. Specifics of the above have been discussed during Media Workshops at LinuxCon Europe 2012 in Barcelona and then later Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2014 in Düsseldorf. The de facto Codec API that originated at those events was later implemented by the drivers we already have merged in mainline, such as s5p-mfc or coda. The only thing missing was the real specification included as a part of Linux Media documentation. Fix it now and document the decoder part of the Codec API.

To enumerate the set of coded formats supported by the decoder, the + client may call :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on ``OUTPUT``. + + * The full set of supported formats will be returned, regardless of the + format set on ``CAPTURE``. + * Check the flags field of :c:type:`v4l2_fmtdesc` for more information + about the decoder's capabilities with respect to each coded format. + In particular whether or not the decoder has a full-fledged bytestream + parser and if the decoder supports dynamic resolution changes. + +2. To enumerate the set of supported raw formats, the client may call + :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on ``CAPTURE``. + + * Only the formats supported for the format currently active on ``OUTPUT`` + will be returned. + + * In order to enumerate raw formats supported by a given coded format, + the client must first set that coded format on ``OUTPUT`` and then + enumerate formats on ``CAPTURE``. + +3. The client may use :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` to detect supported + resolutions for a given format, passing desired pixel format in + :c:type:`v4l2_frmsizeenum` ``pixel_format``. + + * Values returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` for a coded pixel + format will include all possible coded resolutions supported by the + decoder for given coded pixel format. + + * Values returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` for a raw pixel format + will include all possible frame buffer resolutions supported by the + decoder for given raw pixel format and the coded format currently set on + ``OUTPUT``. + +4. Supported profiles and levels for the coded format currently set on + ``OUTPUT``, if applicable, may be queried using their respective controls + via :c:func:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`. + +Initialization +============== + +1. Set the coded format on ``OUTPUT`` via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT` + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``. + + ``pixelformat`` + a coded pixel format. + + ``width``, ``height`` + coded resolution of the stream; required only if it cannot be parsed + from the stream for the given coded format; otherwise the decoder will + use this resolution as a placeholder resolution that will likely change + as soon as it can parse the actual coded resolution from the stream. + + ``sizeimage`` + desired size of ``OUTPUT`` buffers; the decoder may adjust it to + match hardware requirements. + + other fields + follow standard semantics. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``sizeimage`` + adjusted size of ``OUTPUT`` buffers. + + * The ``CAPTURE`` format will be updated with an appropriate frame buffer + resolution instantly based on the width and height returned by + :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`. + However, for coded formats that include stream resolution information, + after the decoder is done parsing the information from the stream, it will + update the ``CAPTURE`` format with new values and signal a source change + event, regardless of whether they match the values set by the client or + not. + + .. important:: + + Changing the ``OUTPUT`` format may change the currently set ``CAPTURE`` + format. How the new ``CAPTURE`` format is determined is up to the decoder + and the client must ensure it matches its needs afterwards. + +2.

The client must check the updated value of ``count`` after the + call returns. + +3. Start streaming on the ``OUTPUT`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON`. + +4. **This step only applies to coded formats that contain resolution information + in the stream.** Continue queuing/dequeuing bytestream buffers to/from the + ``OUTPUT`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_QBUF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`. The + buffers will be processed and returned to the client in order, until + required metadata to configure the ``CAPTURE`` queue are found. This is + indicated by the decoder sending a ``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE`` event with + ``changes`` set to ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION``. + + * It is not an error if the first buffer does not contain enough data for + this to occur. Processing of the buffers will continue as long as more + data is needed. + + * If data in a buffer that triggers the event is required to decode the + first frame, it will not be returned to the client, until the + initialization sequence completes and the frame is decoded. + + * If the client has not set the coded resolution of the stream on its own, + calling :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`, :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`, + :c:func:`VIDIOC_TRY_FMT` or :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on the ``CAPTURE`` + queue will not return the real values for the stream until a + ``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE`` event with ``changes`` set to + ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION`` is signaled. + + .. important:: + + Any client query issued after the decoder queues the event will return + values applying to the just parsed stream, including queue formats, + selection rectangles and controls. + + .. note:: + + A client capable of acquiring stream parameters from the bytestream on + its own may attempt to set the width and height of the ``OUTPUT`` format + to non-zero values matching the coded size of the stream, skip this step + and continue with the `Capture Setup` sequence. However, it must not + rely on any driver queries regarding stream parameters, such as + selection rectangles and controls, since the decoder has not parsed them + from the stream yet. If the values configured by the client do not match + those parsed by the decoder, a `Dynamic Resolution Change` will be + triggered to reconfigure them. + + .. note:: + + No decoded frames are produced during this phase. + +5. Continue with the `Capture Setup` sequence. + +Capture Setup +============= + +1. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT` on the ``CAPTURE`` queue to get format for the + destination buffers parsed/decoded from the bytestream. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``width``, ``height`` + frame buffer resolution for the decoded frames. + + ``pixelformat`` + pixel format for decoded frames. + + ``num_planes`` (for _MPLANE ``type`` only) + number of planes for pixelformat. + + ``sizeimage``, ``bytesperline`` + as per standard semantics; matching frame buffer format. + + .. note:: + + The value of ``pixelformat`` may be any pixel format supported by the + decoder for the current stream. The decoder should choose a + preferred/optimal format for the default configuration. For example, a + YUV format may be preferred over an RGB format if an additional + conversion step would be required for the latter. + +2. **Optional.** Acquire the visible resolution via + :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_SELECTION`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``target`` + set to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE``. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``r.left``, ``r.top``, ``r.width``, ``r.height`` + the visible rectangle; it must fit within the frame buffer resolution + returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT` on ``CAPTURE``. + + * The following selection targets are supported on ``CAPTURE``: + + ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_BOUNDS`` + corresponds to the coded resolution of the stream. + + ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_DEFAULT`` + the rectangle covering the part of the ``CAPTURE`` buffer that + contains meaningful picture data (visible area); width and height + will be equal to the visible resolution of the stream. + + ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` + the rectangle within the coded resolution to be output to + ``CAPTURE``; defaults to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_DEFAULT``; read-only on + hardware without additional compose/scaling capabilities. + + ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_BOUNDS`` + the maximum rectangle within a ``CAPTURE`` buffer, which the cropped + frame can be composed into; equal to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` if the + hardware does not support compose/scaling. + + ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_DEFAULT`` + equal to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP``. + + ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` + the rectangle inside a ``CAPTURE`` buffer into which the cropped + frame is written; defaults to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_DEFAULT``; + read-only on hardware without additional compose/scaling capabilities. + + ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_PADDED`` + the rectangle inside a ``CAPTURE`` buffer which is overwritten by the + hardware; equal to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` if the hardware does not + write padding pixels. + + .. warning:: + + The values are guaranteed to be meaningful only after the decoder + successfully parses the stream metadata. The client must not rely on the + query before that happens. + +3. **Optional.** Enumerate ``CAPTURE`` formats via :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on + the ``CAPTURE`` queue. Once the stream information is parsed and known, the + client may use this ioctl to discover which raw formats are supported for + given stream and select one of them via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`. + + .. important:: + + The decoder will return only formats supported for the currently + established coded format, as per the ``OUTPUT`` format and/or stream + metadata parsed in this initialization sequence, even if more formats + may be supported by the decoder in general. In other words, the set + returned will be a subset of the initial query mentioned in the + `Querying Capabilities` section. + + For example, a decoder may support YUV and RGB formats for resolutions + 1920x1088 and lower, but only YUV for higher resolutions (due to + hardware limitations). After parsing a resolution of 1920x1088 or lower, + :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` may return a set of YUV and RGB pixel formats, + but after parsing resolution higher than 1920x1088, the decoder will not + return RGB, unsupported for this resolution. + + However, subsequent resolution change event triggered after + discovering a resolution change within the same stream may switch + the stream into a lower resolution and :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` + would return RGB formats again in that case. + +4. **Optional.** Set the ``CAPTURE`` format via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT` on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue. The client may choose a different format than + selected/suggested by the decoder in :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``pixelformat`` + a raw pixel format. + + ``width``, ``height`` + frame buffer resolution of the decoded stream; typically unchanged from + what was returned with :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`, but it may be different + if the hardware supports composition and/or scaling. + + * Setting the ``CAPTURE`` format will reset the compose selection rectangles + to their default values, based on the new resolution, as described in the + previous step. + +5. **Optional.** Set the compose rectangle via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_SELECTION` on + the ``CAPTURE`` queue if it is desired and if the decoder has compose and/or + scaling capabilities. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``target`` + set to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE``. + + ``r.left``, ``r.top``, ``r.width``, ``r.height`` + the rectangle inside a ``CAPTURE`` buffer into which the cropped + frame is written; defaults to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_DEFAULT``; + read-only on hardware without additional compose/scaling capabilities. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``r.left``, ``r.top``, ``r.width``, ``r.height`` + the visible rectangle; it must fit within the frame buffer resolution + returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT` on ``CAPTURE``. + + .. warning:: + + The decoder may adjust the compose rectangle to the nearest + supported one to meet codec and hardware requirements. The client needs + to check the adjusted rectangle returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_SELECTION`. + +6. If all the following conditions are met, the client may resume the decoding + instantly: + + * ``sizeimage`` of the new format (determined in previous steps) is less + than or equal to the size of currently allocated buffers, + + * the number of buffers currently allocated is greater than or equal to the + minimum number of buffers acquired in previous steps. To fulfill this + requirement, the client may use :c:func:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS` to add new + buffers. + + In that case, the remaining steps do not apply and the client may resume + the decoding by one of the following actions: + + * if the ``CAPTURE`` queue is streaming, call :c:func:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` + with the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START`` command, + + * if the ``CAPTURE`` queue is not streaming, call :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` + on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. + + However, if the client intends to change the buffer set, to lower + memory usage or for any other reasons, it may be achieved by following + the steps below. + +7. **If the** ``CAPTURE`` **queue is streaming,** keep queuing and dequeuing + buffers on the ``CAPTURE`` queue until a buffer marked with the + ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag is dequeued. + +8. **If the** ``CAPTURE`` **queue is streaming,** call :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` + on the ``CAPTURE`` queue to stop streaming. + + .. warning:: + + The ``OUTPUT`` queue must remain streaming. Calling + :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` on it would abort the sequence and trigger a + seek. + +9. **If the** ``CAPTURE`` **queue has buffers allocated,** free the ``CAPTURE`` + buffers using :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``count`` + set to 0. + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``memory`` + follows standard semantics. + +10. Allocate ``CAPTURE`` buffers via :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``count`` + requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero. + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``memory`` + follows standard semantics. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``count`` + actual number of buffers allocated. + + .. warning:: + + The actual number of allocated buffers may differ from the ``count`` + given. The client must check the updated value of ``count`` after the + call returns. + + .. note:: + + To allocate more than the minimum number of buffers (for pipeline + depth), the client may query the ``V4L2_CID_MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_CAPTURE`` + control to get the minimum number of buffers required, and pass the + obtained value plus the number of additional buffers needed in the + ``count`` field to :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS`. + + Alternatively, :c:func:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS` on the ``CAPTURE`` queue can be + used to have more control over buffer allocation. For example, by + allocating buffers larger than the current ``CAPTURE`` format, future + resolution changes can be accommodated. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``count`` + requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero. + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``memory`` + follows standard semantics. + + ``format`` + a format representing the maximum framebuffer resolution to be + accommodated by newly allocated buffers. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``count`` + adjusted to the number of allocated buffers. + + .. warning:: + + The actual number of allocated buffers may differ from the ``count`` + given. The client must check the updated value of ``count`` after the + call returns. + + .. note:: + + To allocate buffers for a format different than parsed from the stream + metadata, the client must proceed as follows, before the metadata + parsing is initiated: + + * set width and height of the ``OUTPUT`` format to desired coded resolution to + let the decoder configure the ``CAPTURE`` format appropriately, + + * query the ``CAPTURE`` format using :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT` and save it + until this step. + + The format obtained in the query may be then used with + :c:func:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS` in this step to allocate the buffers. + +11. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the ``CAPTURE`` queue to start decoding + frames. + +Decoding +======== + +This state is reached after the `Capture Setup` sequence finishes successfully. +In this state, the client queues and dequeues buffers to both queues via +:c:func:`VIDIOC_QBUF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`, following the standard +semantics. + +The content of the source ``OUTPUT`` buffers depends on the active coded pixel +format and may be affected by codec-specific extended controls, as stated in +the documentation of each format. + +Both queues operate independently, following the standard behavior of V4L2 +buffer queues and memory-to-memory devices. In addition, the order of decoded +frames dequeued from the ``CAPTURE`` queue may differ from the order of queuing +coded frames to the ``OUTPUT`` queue, due to properties of the selected coded +format, e.g. frame reordering. + +The client must not assume any direct relationship between ``CAPTURE`` +and ``OUTPUT`` buffers and any specific timing of buffers becoming +available to dequeue. Specifically: + +* a buffer queued to ``OUTPUT`` may result in no buffers being produced + on ``CAPTURE`` (e.g. if it does not contain encoded data, or if only + metadata syntax structures are present in it), + +* a buffer queued to ``OUTPUT`` may result in more than one buffer produced + on ``CAPTURE`` (if the encoded data contained more than one frame, or if + returning a decoded frame allowed the decoder to return a frame that + preceded it in decode, but succeeded it in the display order), + +* a buffer queued to ``OUTPUT`` may result in a buffer being produced on + ``CAPTURE`` later into decode process, and/or after processing further + ``OUTPUT`` buffers, or be returned out of order, e.g. if display + reordering is used, + +* buffers may become available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue without additional + buffers queued to ``OUTPUT`` (e.g. during drain or ``EOS``), because of the + ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued in the past whose decoding results are only + available at later time, due to specifics of the decoding process. + +.. note:: + + To allow matching decoded ``CAPTURE`` buffers with ``OUTPUT`` buffers they + originated from, the client can set the ``timestamp`` field of the + :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` struct when queuing an ``OUTPUT`` buffer. The + ``CAPTURE`` buffer(s), which resulted from decoding that ``OUTPUT`` buffer + will have their ``timestamp`` field set to the same value when dequeued. + + In addition to the straightforward case of one ``OUTPUT`` buffer producing + one ``CAPTURE`` buffer, the following cases are defined: + + * one ``OUTPUT`` buffer generates multiple ``CAPTURE`` buffers: the same + ``OUTPUT`` timestamp will be copied to multiple ``CAPTURE`` buffers. + + * multiple ``OUTPUT`` buffers generate one ``CAPTURE`` buffer: timestamp of + the ``OUTPUT`` buffer queued first will be copied. + + * the decoding order differs from the display order (i.e. the ``CAPTURE`` + buffers are out-of-order compared to the ``OUTPUT`` buffers): ``CAPTURE`` + timestamps will not retain the order of ``OUTPUT`` timestamps. + +During the decoding, the decoder may initiate one of the special sequences, as +listed below. The sequences will result in the decoder returning all the +``CAPTURE`` buffers that originated from all the ``OUTPUT`` buffers processed +before the sequence started. Last of the buffers will have the +``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag set. To determine the sequence to follow, the client +must check if there is any pending event and: + +* if a ``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE`` event with ``changes`` set to + ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION`` is pending, the `Dynamic Resolution + Change` sequence needs to be followed, + +* if a ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS`` event is pending, the `End of Stream` sequence needs + to be followed. + +Some of the sequences can be intermixed with each other and need to be handled +as they happen. The exact operation is documented for each sequence. + +Should a decoding error occur, it will be reported to the client with the level +of details depending on the decoder capabilities. Specifically: + +* the CAPTURE buffer that contains the results of the failed decode operation + will be returned with the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR flag set, + +* if the decoder is able to precisely report the OUTPUT buffer that triggered + the error, such buffer will be returned with the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR flag + set. + +In case of a fatal failure that does not allow the decoding to continue, any +further operations on corresponding decoder file handle will return the -EIO +error code. The client may close the file handle and open a new one, or +alternatively reinitialize the instance by stopping streaming on both queues, +releasing all buffers and performing the Initialization sequence again. + +Seek +==== + +Seek is controlled by the ``OUTPUT`` queue, as it is the source of coded data. +The seek does not require any specific operation on the ``CAPTURE`` queue, but +it may be affected as per normal decoder operation. + +1. Stop the ``OUTPUT`` queue to begin the seek sequence via + :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``. + + * The decoder will drop all the pending ``OUTPUT`` buffers and they must be + treated as returned to the client (following standard semantics). + +2. Restart the ``OUTPUT`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``. + + * The decoder will start accepting new source bytestream buffers after the + call returns. + +3. Start queuing buffers containing coded data after the seek to the ``OUTPUT`` + queue until a suitable resume point is found. + + .. note:: + + There is no requirement to begin queuing coded data starting exactly + from a resume point (e.g. SPS or a keyframe). Any queued ``OUTPUT`` + buffers will be processed and returned to the client until a suitable + resume point is found. While looking for a resume point, the decoder + should not produce any decoded frames into ``CAPTURE`` buffers. + + Some hardware is known to mishandle seeks to a non-resume point. Such an + operation may result in an unspecified number of corrupted decoded frames + being made available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. Drivers must ensure that + no fatal decoding errors or crashes occur, and implement any necessary + handling and workarounds for hardware issues related to seek operations. + + .. warning:: + + In case of the H.264/HEVC codec, the client must take care not to seek + over a change of SPS/PPS. Even though the target frame could be a + keyframe, the stale SPS/PPS inside decoder state would lead to undefined + results when decoding. Although the decoder must handle that case without + a crash or a fatal decode error, the client must not expect a sensible + decode output. + + If the hardware can detect such corrupted decoded frames, then + corresponding buffers will be returned to the client with the + V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR set. See the `Decoding` section for further + description of decode error reporting. + +4. After a resume point is found, the decoder will start returning ``CAPTURE`` + buffers containing decoded frames. + +.. important:: + + A seek may result in the `Dynamic Resolution Change` sequence being + initiated, due to the seek target having decoding parameters different from + the part of the stream decoded before the seek. The sequence must be handled + as per normal decoder operation. + +.. warning:: + + It is not specified when the ``CAPTURE`` queue starts producing buffers + containing decoded data from the ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued after the seek, + as it operates independently from the ``OUTPUT`` queue. + + The decoder may return a number of remaining ``CAPTURE`` buffers containing + decoded frames originating from the ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued before the + seek sequence is performed. + + The ``VIDIOC_STREAMOFF`` operation discards any remaining queued + ``OUTPUT`` buffers, which means that not all of the ``OUTPUT`` buffers + queued before the seek sequence may have matching ``CAPTURE`` buffers + produced. For example, given the sequence of operations on the + ``OUTPUT`` queue: + + QBUF(A), QBUF(B), STREAMOFF(), STREAMON(), QBUF(G), QBUF(H), + + any of the following results on the ``CAPTURE`` queue is allowed: + + {A’, B’, G’, H’}, {A’, G’, H’}, {G’, H’}. + + To determine the CAPTURE buffer containing the first decoded frame after the + seek, the client may observe the timestamps to match the CAPTURE and OUTPUT + buffers or use V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP and V4L2_DEC_CMD_START to drain the + decoder. + +.. note:: + + To achieve instantaneous seek, the client may restart streaming on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue too to discard decoded, but not yet dequeued buffers. + +Dynamic Resolution Change +========================= + +Streams that include resolution metadata in the bytestream may require switching +to a different resolution during the decoding. + +.. note:: + + Not all decoders can detect resolution changes. Those that do set the + ``V4L2_FMT_FLAG_DYN_RESOLUTION`` flag for the coded format when + :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` is called. + +The sequence starts when the decoder detects a coded frame with one or more of +the following parameters different from those previously established (and +reflected by corresponding queries): + +* coded resolution (``OUTPUT`` width and height), + +* visible resolution (selection rectangles), + +* the minimum number of buffers needed for decoding. + +Whenever that happens, the decoder must proceed as follows: + +1. After encountering a resolution change in the stream, the decoder sends a + ``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE`` event with ``changes`` set to + ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION``. + + .. important:: + + Any client query issued after the decoder queues the event will return + values applying to the stream after the resolution change, including + queue formats, selection rectangles and controls. + +2. The decoder will then process and decode all remaining buffers from before + the resolution change point. + + * The last buffer from before the change must be marked with the + ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag, similarly to the `Drain` sequence above. + + .. warning:: + + The last buffer may be empty (with :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` ``bytesused`` + = 0) and in that case it must be ignored by the client, as it does not + contain a decoded frame. + + .. note:: + + Any attempt to dequeue more ``CAPTURE`` buffers beyond the buffer marked + with ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` will result in a -EPIPE error from + :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`. + +The client must continue the sequence as described below to continue the +decoding process. + +1. Dequeue the source change event. + + .. important:: + + A source change triggers an implicit decoder drain, similar to the + explicit `Drain` sequence. The decoder is stopped after it completes. + The decoding process must be resumed with either a pair of calls to + :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue, or a call to :c:func:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` with the + ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START`` command. + +2. Continue with the `Capture Setup` sequence. + +.. note:: + + During the resolution change sequence, the ``OUTPUT`` queue must remain + streaming. Calling :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` on the ``OUTPUT`` queue would + abort the sequence and initiate a seek. + + In principle, the ``OUTPUT`` queue operates separately from the ``CAPTURE`` + queue and this remains true for the duration of the entire resolution change + sequence as well. + + The client should, for best performance and simplicity, keep queuing/dequeuing + buffers to/from the ``OUTPUT`` queue even while processing this sequence. + +Drain +===== + +To ensure that all queued ``OUTPUT`` buffers have been processed and related +``CAPTURE`` buffers are given to the client, the client must follow the drain +sequence described below. After the drain sequence ends, the client has +received all decoded frames for all ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued before the +sequence was started. + +1. Begin drain by issuing :c:func:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``cmd`` + set to ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP``. + + ``flags`` + set to 0. + + ``pts`` + set to 0. + + .. warning:: + + The sequence can be only initiated if both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` + queues are streaming. For compatibility reasons, the call to + :c:func:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` will not fail even if any of the queues is + not streaming, but at the same time it will not initiate the `Drain` + sequence and so the steps described below would not be applicable. + +2. Any ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued by the client before the + :c:func:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` was issued will be processed and decoded as + normal. The client must continue to handle both queues independently, + similarly to normal decode operation. This includes: + + * handling any operations triggered as a result of processing those buffers, + such as the `Dynamic Resolution Change` sequence, before continuing with + the drain sequence, + + * queuing and dequeuing ``CAPTURE`` buffers, until a buffer marked with the + ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag is dequeued, + + .. warning:: + + The last buffer may be empty (with :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` + ``bytesused`` = 0) and in that case it must be ignored by the client, + as it does not contain a decoded frame. + + .. note:: + + Any attempt to dequeue more ``CAPTURE`` buffers beyond the buffer + marked with ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` will result in a -EPIPE error from + :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`. + + * dequeuing processed ``OUTPUT`` buffers, until all the buffers queued + before the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP`` command are dequeued, + + * dequeuing the ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS`` event, if the client subscribed to it. + + .. note:: + + For backwards compatibility, the decoder will signal a ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS`` + event when the last frame has been decoded and all frames are ready to be + dequeued. It is a deprecated behavior and the client must not rely on it. + The ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` buffer flag should be used instead. + +3. Once all the ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued before the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP`` call + are dequeued and the last ``CAPTURE`` buffer is dequeued, the decoder is + stopped and it will accept, but not process, any newly queued ``OUTPUT`` + buffers until the client issues any of the following operations: + + * ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START`` - the decoder will not be reset and will resume + operation normally, with all the state from before the drain, + + * a pair of :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue - the decoder will resume the operation normally, + however any ``CAPTURE`` buffers still in the queue will be returned to the + client, + + * a pair of :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the + ``OUTPUT`` queue - any pending source buffers will be returned to the + client and the `Seek` sequence will be triggered. + +.. note:: + + Once the drain sequence is initiated, the client needs to drive it to + completion, as described by the steps above, unless it aborts the process by + issuing :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` on any of the ``OUTPUT`` or ``CAPTURE`` + queues.

It also adds a new V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF capability and a v4l2_m2m_release_capture_buf() helper function. Drivers should set vb2_queue->subsystem_flags to VB2_V4L2_FL_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF to indicate support for this flag. The device_run() function should look like this: if (v4l2_m2m_release_capture_buf(out_vb, cap_vb)) { v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE); v4l2_m2m_job_finish(...); return; } cap_vb->is_held = out_vb->flags & V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF; ... v4l2_m2m_buf_done(out_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE); if (!cap_vb->is_held) { v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE); v4l2_m2m_job_finish(...); } In order to handle the corner case where V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF is always set for the output buffer, and you reached the last frame (so no new output buffer will be queued with a new timestamp), the driver must implement support for the V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH command, and that should do: struct vb2_v4l2_buffer *out_vb = v4l2_m2m_last_src_buf(m2m_ctx); struct vb2_v4l2_buffer *cap_vb = v4l2_m2m_last_dst_buf(m2m_ctx); if (out_vb) { out_vb->flags &= ~V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF; } else if (cap_vb && cap_vb->is_held) { v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE); v4l2_m2m_job_finish(...); } For formats that do not support slicing (e.g. VP8), the FLUSH command just does nothing. At least, I think so. Comments on this are very welcome. We definitely need better support in v4l2-mem2mem.c for such situations (same for stateful codecs) since it's too complex for drivers to get right IMHO.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +.. _stateless_decoder: + +************************************************** +Memory-to-memory Stateless Video Decoder Interface +************************************************** + +A stateless decoder is a decoder that works without retaining any kind of state +between processed frames. This means that each frame is decoded independently +of any previous and future frames, and that the client is responsible for +maintaining the decoding state and providing it to the decoder with each +decoding request. This is in contrast to the stateful video decoder interface, +where the hardware and driver maintain the decoding state and all the client +has to do is to provide the raw encoded stream and dequeue decoded frames in +display order. + +This section describes how user-space ("the client") is expected to communicate +with stateless decoders in order to successfully decode an encoded stream. +Compared to stateful codecs, the decoder/client sequence is simpler, but the +cost of this simplicity is extra complexity in the client which is responsible +for maintaining a consistent decoding state. + +Stateless decoders make use of the :ref:`media-request-api`. A stateless +decoder must expose the ``V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_REQUESTS`` capability on its +``OUTPUT`` queue when :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` or :c:func:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS` +are invoked. + +Depending on the encoded formats supported by the decoder, a single decoded +frame may be the result of several decode requests (for instance, H.264 streams +with multiple slices per frame). Decoders that support such formats must also +expose the ``V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` capability on their +``OUTPUT`` queue. + +Querying capabilities +===================== + +1. To enumerate the set of coded formats supported by the decoder, the client + calls :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on the ``OUTPUT`` queue. + + * The driver must always return the full set of supported ``OUTPUT`` formats, + irrespective of the format currently set on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. + + * Simultaneously, the driver must restrain the set of values returned by + codec-specific capability controls (such as H.264 profiles) to the set + actually supported by the hardware. + +2. To enumerate the set of supported raw formats, the client calls + :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. + + * The driver must return only the formats supported for the format currently + active on the ``OUTPUT`` queue. + + * Depending on the currently set ``OUTPUT`` format, the set of supported raw + formats may depend on the value of some codec-dependent controls. + The client is responsible for making sure that these controls are set + before querying the ``CAPTURE`` queue. Failure to do so will result in the + default values for these controls being used, and a returned set of formats + that may not be usable for the media the client is trying to decode. + +3. The client may use :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` to detect supported + resolutions for a given format, passing desired pixel format in + :c:type:`v4l2_frmsizeenum`'s ``pixel_format``. + +4. Supported profiles and levels for the current ``OUTPUT`` format, if + applicable, may be queried using their respective controls via + :c:func:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`. + +Initialization +============== + +1. Set the coded format on the ``OUTPUT`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``. + + ``pixelformat`` + a coded pixel format. + + ``width``, ``height`` + coded width and height parsed from the stream. + + other fields + follow standard semantics. + + .. note:: + + Changing the ``OUTPUT`` format may change the currently set ``CAPTURE`` + format. The driver will derive a new ``CAPTURE`` format from the + ``OUTPUT`` format being set, including resolution, colorimetry + parameters, etc. If the client needs a specific ``CAPTURE`` format, + it must adjust it afterwards. + +2. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS` to set all the controls (parsed headers, + etc.) required by the ``OUTPUT`` format to enumerate the ``CAPTURE`` formats. + +3. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT` for ``CAPTURE`` queue to get the format for the + destination buffers parsed/decoded from the bytestream. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + * **Returned fields:** + + ``width``, ``height`` + frame buffer resolution for the decoded frames. + + ``pixelformat`` + pixel format for decoded frames. + + ``num_planes`` (for _MPLANE ``type`` only) + number of planes for pixelformat. + + ``sizeimage``, ``bytesperline`` + as per standard semantics; matching frame buffer format. + + .. note:: + + The value of ``pixelformat`` may be any pixel format supported for the + ``OUTPUT`` format, based on the hardware capabilities. It is suggested + that the driver chooses the preferred/optimal format for the current + configuration. For example, a YUV format may be preferred over an RGB + format, if an additional conversion step would be required for RGB. + +4. *[optional]* Enumerate ``CAPTURE`` formats via :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on + the ``CAPTURE`` queue. The client may use this ioctl to discover which + alternative raw formats are supported for the current ``OUTPUT`` format and + select one of them via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`. + + .. note:: + + The driver will return only formats supported for the currently selected + ``OUTPUT`` format and currently set controls, even if more formats may be + supported by the decoder in general. + + For example, a decoder may support YUV and RGB formats for + resolutions 1920x1088 and lower, but only YUV for higher resolutions (due + to hardware limitations). After setting a resolution of 1920x1088 or lower + as the ``OUTPUT`` format, :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` may return a set of + YUV and RGB pixel formats, but after setting a resolution higher than + 1920x1088, the driver will not return RGB pixel formats, since they are + unsupported for this resolution. + +5. *[optional]* Choose a different ``CAPTURE`` format than suggested via + :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT` on ``CAPTURE`` queue. It is possible for the client to + choose a different format than selected/suggested by the driver in + :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``pixelformat`` + a raw pixel format. + + ``width``, ``height`` + frame buffer resolution of the decoded stream; typically unchanged from + what was returned with :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`, but it may be different + if the hardware supports composition and/or scaling. + + After performing this step, the client must perform step 3 again in order + to obtain up-to-date information about the buffers size and layout. + +6. Allocate source (bytestream) buffers via :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on + ``OUTPUT`` queue. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``count`` + requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero. + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``. + + ``memory`` + follows standard semantics. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``count`` + actual number of buffers allocated. + + * If required, the driver will adjust ``count`` to be equal or bigger to the + minimum of required number of ``OUTPUT`` buffers for the given format and + requested count. The client must check this value after the ioctl returns + to get the actual number of buffers allocated. + +7. Allocate destination (raw format) buffers via :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``count`` + requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero. The client + is responsible for deducing the minimum number of buffers required + for the stream to be properly decoded (taking e.g. reference frames + into account) and pass an equal or bigger number. + + ``type`` + a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``. + + ``memory`` + follows standard semantics. ``V4L2_MEMORY_USERPTR`` is not supported + for ``CAPTURE`` buffers. + + * **Return fields:** + + ``count`` + adjusted to allocated number of buffers, in case the codec requires + more buffers than requested. + + * The driver must adjust count to the minimum of required number of + ``CAPTURE`` buffers for the current format, stream configuration and + requested count. The client must check this value after the ioctl + returns to get the number of buffers allocated. + +8. Allocate requests (likely one per ``OUTPUT`` buffer) via + :c:func:`MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC` on the media device. + +9. Start streaming on both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` queues via + :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON`. + +Decoding +======== + +For each frame, the client is responsible for submitting at least one request to +which the following is attached: + +* The amount of encoded data expected by the codec for its current + configuration, as a buffer submitted to the ``OUTPUT`` queue. Typically, this + corresponds to one frame worth of encoded data, but some formats may allow (or + require) different amounts per unit. +* All the metadata needed to decode the submitted encoded data, in the form of + controls relevant to the format being decoded. + +The amount of data and contents of the source ``OUTPUT`` buffer, as well as the +controls that must be set on the request, depend on the active coded pixel +format and might be affected by codec-specific extended controls, as stated in +documentation of each format. + +If there is a possibility that the decoded frame will require one or more +decode requests after the current one in order to be produced, then the client +must set the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag on the ``OUTPUT`` +buffer. This will result in the (potentially partially) decoded ``CAPTURE`` +buffer not being made available for dequeueing, and reused for the next decode +request if the timestamp of the next ``OUTPUT`` buffer has not changed. + +A typical frame would thus be decoded using the following sequence: + +1. Queue an ``OUTPUT`` buffer containing one unit of encoded bytestream data for + the decoding request, using :c:func:`VIDIOC_QBUF`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``index`` + index of the buffer being queued. + + ``type`` + type of the buffer. + + ``bytesused`` + number of bytes taken by the encoded data frame in the buffer. + + ``flags`` + the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_REQUEST_FD`` flag must be set. Additionally, if + we are not sure that the current decode request is the last one needed + to produce a fully decoded frame, then + ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` must also be set. + + ``request_fd`` + must be set to the file descriptor of the decoding request. + + ``timestamp`` + must be set to a unique value per frame. This value will be propagated + into the decoded frame's buffer and can also be used to use this frame + as the reference of another. If using multiple decode requests per + frame, then the timestamps of all the ``OUTPUT`` buffers for a given + frame must be identical. If the timestamp changes, then the currently + held ``CAPTURE`` buffer will be made available for dequeuing and the + current request will work on a new ``CAPTURE`` buffer. + +2. Set the codec-specific controls for the decoding request, using + :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``which`` + must be ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``. + + ``request_fd`` + must be set to the file descriptor of the decoding request. + + other fields + other fields are set as usual when setting controls. The ``controls`` + array must contain all the codec-specific controls required to decode + a frame. + + .. note:: + + It is possible to specify the controls in different invocations of + :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS`, or to overwrite a previously set control, as + long as ``request_fd`` and ``which`` are properly set. The controls state + at the moment of request submission is the one that will be considered. + + .. note:: + + The order in which steps 1 and 2 take place is interchangeable. + +3. Submit the request by invoking :c:func:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` on the + request FD. + + If the request is submitted without an ``OUTPUT`` buffer, or if some of the + required controls are missing from the request, then + :c:func:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` will return ``-ENOENT``. If more than one + ``OUTPUT`` buffer is queued, then it will return ``-EINVAL``. + :c:func:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` returning non-zero means that no + ``CAPTURE`` buffer will be produced for this request. + +``CAPTURE`` buffers must not be part of the request, and are queued +independently. They are returned in decode order (i.e. the same order as coded +frames were submitted to the ``OUTPUT`` queue). + +Runtime decoding errors are signaled by the dequeued ``CAPTURE`` buffers +carrying the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR`` flag. If a decoded reference frame has an +error, then all following decoded frames that refer to it also have the +``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR`` flag set, although the decoder will still try to +produce (likely corrupted) frames. + +Buffer management while decoding +================================ +Contrary to stateful decoders, a stateless decoder does not perform any kind of +buffer management: it only guarantees that dequeued ``CAPTURE`` buffers can be +used by the client for as long as they are not queued again. "Used" here +encompasses using the buffer for compositing or display. + +A dequeued capture buffer can also be used as the reference frame of another +buffer. + +A frame is specified as reference by converting its timestamp into nanoseconds, +and storing it into the relevant member of a codec-dependent control structure. +The :c:func:`v4l2_timeval_to_ns` function must be used to perform that +conversion. The timestamp of a frame can be used to reference it as soon as all +its units of encoded data are successfully submitted to the ``OUTPUT`` queue. + +A decoded buffer containing a reference frame must not be reused as a decoding +target until all the frames referencing it have been decoded. The safest way to +achieve this is to refrain from queueing a reference buffer until all the +decoded frames referencing it have been dequeued. However, if the driver can +guarantee that buffers queued to the ``CAPTURE`` queue are processed in queued +order, then user-space can take advantage of this guarantee and queue a +reference buffer when the following conditions are met: + +1. All the requests for frames affected by the reference frame have been + queued, and + +2. A sufficient number of ``CAPTURE`` buffers to cover all the decoded + referencing frames have been queued. + +When queuing a decoding request, the driver will increase the reference count of +all the resources associated with reference frames. This means that the client +can e.g. close the DMABUF file descriptors of reference frame buffers if it +won't need them afterwards. + +Seeking +======= +In order to seek, the client just needs to submit requests using input buffers +corresponding to the new stream position. It must however be aware that +resolution may have changed and follow the dynamic resolution change sequence in +that case. Also depending on the codec used, picture parameters (e.g. SPS/PPS +for H.264) may have changed and the client is responsible for making sure that a +valid state is sent to the decoder. + +The client is then free to ignore any returned ``CAPTURE`` buffer that comes +from the pre-seek position. + +Pausing +======= + +In order to pause, the client can just cease queuing buffers onto the ``OUTPUT`` +queue. Without source bytestream data, there is no data to process and the codec +will remain idle. + +Dynamic resolution change +========================= + +If the client detects a resolution change in the stream, it will need to perform +the initialization sequence again with the new resolution: + +1. If the last submitted request resulted in a ``CAPTURE`` buffer being + held by the use of the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag, then the + last frame is not available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. In this case, a + ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH`` command shall be sent. This will make the driver + dequeue the held ``CAPTURE`` buffer. + +2. Wait until all submitted requests have completed and dequeue the + corresponding output buffers. + +3. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` on both the ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` + queues. + +4. Free all ``CAPTURE`` buffers by calling :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue with a buffer count of zero. + +5. Perform the initialization sequence again (minus the allocation of + ``OUTPUT`` buffers), with the new resolution set on the ``OUTPUT`` queue. + Note that due to resolution constraints, a different format may need to be + picked on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. + +Drain +===== + +If the last submitted request resulted in a ``CAPTURE`` buffer being +held by the use of the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag, then the +last frame is not available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. In this case, a +``V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH`` command shall be sent. This will make the driver +dequeue the held ``CAPTURE`` buffer. + +After that, in order to drain the stream on a stateless decoder, the client +just needs to wait until all the submitted requests are completed.

These include capability enumeration, initialization, encoding, encode parameters change, drain and reset. Specifics of the above have been discussed during Media Workshops at LinuxCon Europe 2012 in Barcelona and then later Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2014 in Düsseldorf. The de facto Codec API that originated at those events was later implemented by the drivers we already have merged in mainline, such as s5p-mfc or coda. The only thing missing was the real specification included as a part of Linux Media documentation. Fix it now and document the encoder part of the Codec API.

Begin streaming on both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` queues via + :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON`. This may be performed in any order. The actual + encoding process starts when both queues start streaming. + +.. note:: + + If the client stops the ``CAPTURE`` queue during the encode process and then + restarts it again, the encoder will begin generating a stream independent + from the stream generated before the stop. The exact constraints depend + on the coded format, but may include the following implications: + + * encoded frames produced after the restart must not reference any + frames produced before the stop, e.g. no long term references for + H.264/HEVC, + + * any headers that must be included in a standalone stream must be + produced again, e.g. SPS and PPS for H.264/HEVC. + +Encoding +======== + +This state is reached after the `Initialization` sequence finishes +successfully. In this state, the client queues and dequeues buffers to both +queues via :c:func:`VIDIOC_QBUF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`, following the +standard semantics. + +The content of encoded ``CAPTURE`` buffers depends on the active coded pixel +format and may be affected by codec-specific extended controls, as stated +in the documentation of each format. + +Both queues operate independently, following standard behavior of V4L2 buffer +queues and memory-to-memory devices. In addition, the order of encoded frames +dequeued from the ``CAPTURE`` queue may differ from the order of queuing raw +frames to the ``OUTPUT`` queue, due to properties of the selected coded format, +e.g. frame reordering. + +The client must not assume any direct relationship between ``CAPTURE`` and +``OUTPUT`` buffers and any specific timing of buffers becoming +available to dequeue. Specifically: + +* a buffer queued to ``OUTPUT`` may result in more than one buffer produced on + ``CAPTURE`` (if returning an encoded frame allowed the encoder to return a + frame that preceded it in display, but succeeded it in the decode order), + +* a buffer queued to ``OUTPUT`` may result in a buffer being produced on + ``CAPTURE`` later into encode process, and/or after processing further + ``OUTPUT`` buffers, or be returned out of order, e.g. if display + reordering is used, + +* buffers may become available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue without additional + buffers queued to ``OUTPUT`` (e.g. during drain or ``EOS``), because of the + ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued in the past whose decoding results are only + available at later time, due to specifics of the decoding process, + +* buffers queued to ``OUTPUT`` may not become available to dequeue instantly + after being encoded into a corresponding ``CAPTURE`` buffer, e.g. if the + encoder needs to use the frame as a reference for encoding further frames. + +.. note:: + + To allow matching encoded ``CAPTURE`` buffers with ``OUTPUT`` buffers they + originated from, the client can set the ``timestamp`` field of the + :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` struct when queuing an ``OUTPUT`` buffer. The + ``CAPTURE`` buffer(s), which resulted from encoding that ``OUTPUT`` buffer + will have their ``timestamp`` field set to the same value when dequeued. + + In addition to the straightforward case of one ``OUTPUT`` buffer producing + one ``CAPTURE`` buffer, the following cases are defined: + + * one ``OUTPUT`` buffer generates multiple ``CAPTURE`` buffers: the same + ``OUTPUT`` timestamp will be copied to multiple ``CAPTURE`` buffers, + + * the encoding order differs from the presentation order (i.e. the + ``CAPTURE`` buffers are out-of-order compared to the ``OUTPUT`` buffers): + ``CAPTURE`` timestamps will not retain the order of ``OUTPUT`` timestamps. + +.. note:: + + To let the client distinguish between frame types (keyframes, intermediate + frames; the exact list of types depends on the coded format), the + ``CAPTURE`` buffers will have corresponding flag bits set in their + :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` struct when dequeued. See the documentation of + :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` and each coded pixel format for exact list of flags + and their meanings. + +Should an encoding error occur, it will be reported to the client with the level +of details depending on the encoder capabilities. Specifically: + +* the CAPTURE buffer (if any) that contains the results of the failed encode + operation will be returned with the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR flag set, + +* if the encoder is able to precisely report the OUTPUT buffer(s) that triggered + the error, such buffer(s) will be returned with the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR flag + set. + +In case of a fatal failure that does not allow the encoding to continue, any +further operations on corresponding encoder file handle will return the -EIO +error code. The client may close the file handle and open a new one, or +alternatively reinitialize the instance by stopping streaming on both queues, +releasing all buffers and performing the Initialization sequence again. + +Encoding Parameter Changes +========================== + +The client is allowed to use :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL` to change encoder +parameters at any time. The availability of parameters is encoder-specific +and the client must query the encoder to find the set of available controls. + +The ability to change each parameter during encoding is encoder-specific, as +per the standard semantics of the V4L2 control interface. The client may +attempt to set a control during encoding and if the operation fails with the +-EBUSY error code, the ``CAPTURE`` queue needs to be stopped for the +configuration change to be allowed. To do this, it may follow the `Drain` +sequence to avoid losing the already queued/encoded frames. + +The timing of parameter updates is encoder-specific, as per the standard +semantics of the V4L2 control interface. If the client needs to apply the +parameters exactly at specific frame, using the Request API +(:ref:`media-request-api`) should be considered, if supported by the encoder. + +Drain +===== + +To ensure that all the queued ``OUTPUT`` buffers have been processed and the +related ``CAPTURE`` buffers are given to the client, the client must follow the +drain sequence described below. After the drain sequence ends, the client has +received all encoded frames for all ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued before the +sequence was started. + +1. Begin the drain sequence by issuing :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD`. + + * **Required fields:** + + ``cmd`` + set to ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP``. + + ``flags`` + set to 0. + + ``pts`` + set to 0. + + .. warning:: + + The sequence can be only initiated if both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` + queues are streaming. For compatibility reasons, the call to + :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD` will not fail even if any of the queues is + not streaming, but at the same time it will not initiate the `Drain` + sequence and so the steps described below would not be applicable. + +2. Any ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued by the client before the + :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD` was issued will be processed and encoded as + normal. The client must continue to handle both queues independently, + similarly to normal encode operation. This includes: + + * queuing and dequeuing ``CAPTURE`` buffers, until a buffer marked with the + ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag is dequeued, + + .. warning:: + + The last buffer may be empty (with :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` + ``bytesused`` = 0) and in that case it must be ignored by the client, + as it does not contain an encoded frame. + + .. note:: + + Any attempt to dequeue more ``CAPTURE`` buffers beyond the buffer + marked with ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` will result in a -EPIPE error from + :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`. + + * dequeuing processed ``OUTPUT`` buffers, until all the buffers queued + before the ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` command are dequeued, + + * dequeuing the ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS`` event, if the client subscribes to it. + + .. note:: + + For backwards compatibility, the encoder will signal a ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS`` + event when the last frame has been encoded and all frames are ready to be + dequeued. It is deprecated behavior and the client must not rely on it. + The ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` buffer flag should be used instead. + +3. Once all ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued before the ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` call are + dequeued and the last ``CAPTURE`` buffer is dequeued, the encoder is stopped + and it will accept, but not process any newly queued ``OUTPUT`` buffers + until the client issues any of the following operations: + + * ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_START`` - the encoder will not be reset and will resume + operation normally, with all the state from before the drain, + + * a pair of :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the + ``CAPTURE`` queue - the encoder will be reset (see the `Reset` sequence) + and then resume encoding, + + * a pair of :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the + ``OUTPUT`` queue - the encoder will resume operation normally, however any + source frames queued to the ``OUTPUT`` queue between ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` + and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` will be discarded. + +.. note:: + + Once the drain sequence is initiated, the client needs to drive it to + completion, as described by the steps above, unless it aborts the process by + issuing :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` on any of the ``OUTPUT`` or ``CAPTURE`` + queues. The client is not allowed to issue ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_START`` or + ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` again while the drain sequence is in progress and they + will fail with -EBUSY error code if attempted. + + For reference, handling of various corner cases is described below: + + * In case of no buffer in the ``OUTPUT`` queue at the time the + ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` command was issued, the drain sequence completes + immediately and the encoder returns an empty ``CAPTURE`` buffer with the + ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag set. + + * In case of no buffer in the ``CAPTURE`` queue at the time the drain + sequence completes, the next time the client queues a ``CAPTURE`` buffer + it is returned at once as an empty buffer with the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` + flag set. + + * If :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` is called on the ``CAPTURE`` queue in the + middle of the drain sequence, the drain sequence is canceled and all + ``CAPTURE`` buffers are implicitly returned to the client. + + * If :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` is called on the ``OUTPUT`` queue in the + middle of the drain sequence, the drain sequence completes immediately and + next ``CAPTURE`` buffer will be returned empty with the + ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag set. + + Although mandatory, the availability of encoder commands may be queried + using :c:func:`VIDIOC_TRY_ENCODER_CMD`. + +Reset +===== + +The client may want to request the encoder to reinitialize the encoding, so +that the following stream data becomes independent from the stream data +generated before. Depending on the coded format, that may imply that: + +* encoded frames produced after the restart must not reference any frames + produced before the stop, e.g. no long term references for H.264/HEVC, + +* any headers that must be included in a standalone stream must be produced + again, e.g. SPS and PPS for H.264/HEVC. + +This can be achieved by performing the reset sequence. + +1. Perform the `Drain` sequence to ensure all the in-flight encoding finishes + and respective buffers are dequeued. + +2. Stop streaming on the ``CAPTURE`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF`. This + will return all currently queued ``CAPTURE`` buffers to the client, without + valid frame data. + +3. Start streaming on the ``CAPTURE`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` and + continue with regular encoding sequence. The encoded frames produced into + ``CAPTURE`` buffers from now on will contain a standalone stream that can be + decoded without the need for frames encoded before the reset sequence, + starting at the first ``OUTPUT`` buffer queued after issuing the + `V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP` of the `Drain` sequence. + +This sequence may be also used to change encoding parameters for encoders +without the ability to change the parameters on the fly. + +Commit Points +============= + +Setting formats and allocating buffers triggers changes in the behavior of the +encoder. + +1. Setting the format on the ``CAPTURE`` queue may change the set of formats + supported/advertised on the ``OUTPUT`` queue. In particular, it also means + that the ``OUTPUT`` format may be reset and the client must not rely on the + previously set format being preserved. + +2. Enumerating formats on the ``OUTPUT`` queue always returns only formats + supported for the current ``CAPTURE`` format. + +3. Setting the format on the ``OUTPUT`` queue does not change the list of + formats available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. An attempt to set the ``OUTPUT`` + format that is not supported for the currently selected ``CAPTURE`` format + will result in the encoder adjusting the requested ``OUTPUT`` format to a + supported one. + +4. Enumerating formats on the ``CAPTURE`` queue always returns the full set of + supported coded formats, irrespective of the current ``OUTPUT`` format. + +5. While buffers are allocated on any of the ``OUTPUT`` or ``CAPTURE`` queues, + the client must not change the format on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. Drivers will + return the -EBUSY error code for any such format change attempt. + +To summarize, setting formats and allocation must always start with the +``CAPTURE`` queue and the ``CAPTURE`` queue is the master that governs the +set of supported formats for the ``OUTPUT`` queue. diff --git a/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/dev-mem2mem.rst b/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/dev-mem2mem.rst index 70953958cee6..43f14ccb675e 100644 --- a/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/dev-mem2mem.rst +++ b/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/dev-mem2mem.rst @@ -46,4 +46,5 @@ devices are given in the following sections. :maxdepth: 1 dev-decoder + dev-encoder dev-stateless-decoder diff --git a/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/pixfmt-v4l2.rst b/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/pixfmt-v4l2.rst index a8321c348bf8..b7ccc613a382 100644 --- a/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/pixfmt-v4l2.rst +++ b/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/pixfmt-v4l2.rst @@ -44,6 +44,11 @@ Single-planar format structure inside the stream, when fed to a stateful mem2mem decoder, the fields may be zero to rely on the decoder to detect the right values.
