[Patch 06/35] media: ti-vpe: vpe: Do not perform job transaction atomically

From: Benoit Parrot
Date: Wed Sep 28 2016 - 17:20:57 EST


From: Nikhil Devshatwar <nikhil.nd@xxxxxx>

Current VPE driver does not start the job until all the buffers for
a transaction are not queued. When running in multiple context, this might
increase the processing latency.

Alternate solution would be to try to continue the same context as long as
buffers for the transaction are ready; else switch the context. This may
increase number of context switches but it reduces latency significantly.

In this approach, the job_ready always succeeds as long as there are
buffers on the CAPTURE and OUTPUT stream. Processing may start immediately
as the first 2 iterations don't need extra source buffers. Shift all the
source buffers after each iteration and remove the oldest buffer.

Also, with this removes the constraint of pre buffering 3 buffers before
call to STREAMON in case of de-interlacing.
