+

+
+Applications can optionally call the :ref:`VIDIOC_DELETE_BUFS` ioctl to

+ * - __u32

+ * - __u32
+ - ``count``
+ - The number of buffers to be deleted.
That's not quite correct. This function will delete the buffers with indices
index until index+count-1. And indices in that range have to be valid buffers,
i.e. you can't have already deleted buffers in that range.

Or should we allow that? It is a fair question.

All buffers also have to be in the DEQUEUED state.

The text above suggests that given the following valid indices:

0, 1, 3, 4 (so the buffer with index 2 was already deleted)

deleting 2 buffers from index 1 would delete buffers 1, 3. When in
fact it will attempt to delete buffers 1 and 2.

Also document explicitly that calling this with count=0 (and perhaps
index=0 as well?) can be used to check if this ioctl is supported.

I will do that.


+ * - __u32
+ - ``type``
+ - Type of the stream or buffers, this is the same as the struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_format` ``type`` field. See
+ :c:type:`v4l2_buf_type` for valid values.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``reserved``\ [13]
+ - A place holder for future extensions. Drivers and applications
+ must set the array to zero.
What should happen if you delete ALL buffers with this call? I.e., the
equivalent to REQBUFS with count=0.

Thinking about this the main difference is that DELETE_BUFS can only delete
dequeued buffers and it does not stop streaming if all buffers are deleted.

So REQBUFS with count=0 (or a STREAMOFF) is still needed to officially stop
streaming and cancel the queue.

Basically REQBUFS with count=0 is almost the equivalent of calling STREAMOFF followed
by DELETE_BUFS for all buffers. Almost, but not quite: REQBUFS(0) also reports
if the queue is unbalanced, and it sets q->num_buffers to 0. And in vb2_ioctl_reqbufs
it will set vdev->queue->owner to NULL.

I am inclined to do the same if DELETE_BUFS deletes all buffers.

Unlike REQBUFS DELETE_BUFS can delete buffers while streaming so for me the ownership
should not change even if there is no more dequeued buffers.
For REQBUFS with count=0 means that the going stream is stopped so we can delete all the buffers
while DELETE_BUFS usage is to delete buffers while keeping the stream alive.

+Return Value
+============

+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

+EINVAL
+ The buffer ``index`` doesn't exist in the queue.

This is duplicating what already happens in __vb2_free_mem and __vb2_queue_free.

That code needs to be refactored.

What you want is a __vb2_delete_buffers(struct vb2_queue *q, unsigned int index, unsigned int buffers)
function that is called with mmap_lock held and that deletes buffers in the range 'index'
to 'index + count - 1'. Buffers may already be deleted.

__vb2_free_mem does almost do all of that already.

Then this new function can be called from __vb2_queue_free() and you can make
a vb2_core_delete_bufs() function that takes the lock and calls __vb2_delete_buffers.

Another note: currently __vb2_queue_free checks if any of the buffers had unbalanced
operations. That check needs to be moved to __vb2_delete_buffers as well otherwise
that would never be reported when using DELETE_BUFS.

Loops in __vb2_queue_free() and __vb2_free_mem() try to delete buffers at the end of the
queue, I could just modify these functions prototype and loops to start from a given index.
That should do the job but have impact on create_bufs (see below)

Once we can delete buffers, how does that change the meaning of num_buffers?
Isn't this really max_buffer_index or something similar? But we probably also
still need to keep track of the actual number of buffers.

And create_bufs still allocated buffers from the last index onwards, it does
not attempt to reuse indices of previously deleted buffers.

Reuse previous indices require to be sure that a range of index is free because
create_bufs returns, in index parameter, the starting buffer index.
I will add a function to find the first available range and use it in vb2_create_bufs()
to change how create->index is set.
Hans, sound good for you ?


There are a lot of drivers that use num_buffers, they will have to be audited.

This needs a lot more thought.

These checks have to take place first, then, if all is OK, you call vb2_core_delete_bufs.

Actually, thinking this over, I would move all these checks to vb2_core_delete_bufs.

It can all be put under the mmap_lock mutex to ensure nobody is messing around
with the queue while this takes place.

Note that when vb2_core_reqbufs() is called with count=0, then if it sees that
a buffer is still in use (mmaped), it will log a debug message that the buffers
are orphaned. We should keep that, I believe.

You need much more extensive compliance checks for this, esp. mixing
create_bufs and delete_bufs. And test it with the test-media test script.
