[PATCH v19 0/9] Add DELETE_BUF ioctl

From: Benjamin Gaignard
Date: Tue Feb 06 2024 - 03:03:00 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:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/benjamin.gaignard/for-upstream/-/commits/remove_vb2_queue_limit_v19

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

- Add a patch to update vb2_is_busy() logic.
- fix __vb2_queue_alloc() parameters descriptions.
- rework bitmap free range finding loop
- remove per queue capability flag.
- rework v4l_delete_bufs() to check if VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS is enabled
and if vidioc_delete_bufs pointer is valid.
- update documentation.
- Direclty use vb2_core_delete_bufs() in v4l2_m2m_ioctl_delete_bufs().
Remove useless static functions.

changes in version 17:
- rebased on top of:

- rework bitmap allocation usage in __vb2_queue_alloc().
- remove useless i < q->max_num_buffers checks.
- rework DELETE_BUFS documentation.
- change split between patch 7 and patch 8
- v4l2_m2m_delete_bufs() is now a static function.
