[PATCH v18 0/9] Add DELETE_BUF ioctl

From: Benjamin Gaignard
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 06:02:03 EST


Unlike when resolution change on keyframes, dynamic resolution change
on inter frames doesn't allow to do a stream off/on sequence because
it is need to keep all previous references alive to decode inter frames.
This constraint have two main problems:
- more memory consumption.
- more buffers in use.
To solve these issue this series introduce DELETE_BUFS ioctl and remove
the 32 buffers limit per queue.

VP9 conformance tests using fluster give a score of 210/305.
The 23 of the 24 resize inter tests (vp90-2-21-resize_inter_* files) are ok
but require to use postprocessor.

Kernel branch is available here:

GStreamer branch to use DELETE_BUF ioctl and testing dynamic resolution
change is here:
