Hi Benjamin,

I added the one additional sentence to vidioc-remove-bufs.rst as suggested
by Mauro, and added his Reviewed/Acked-by lines.

I'll merge this series on Monday after 6.9-rc1 has been released and then
I will also merge the v4l-utils patches.

No need for you to do anything.

Thank you for all your work on this!

I happy to see this been merge soon.
Thanks lot for your time and your review.

Regards,
Benjamin

changes in version 21:
- Be more careful about checking remove_bufs type field vs queue type.
- Add documentation about type checking error.
- Always set capabilities flags field.

+VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS - Removes buffers from a queue
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS, struct v4l2_remove_buffers *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_remove_buffers`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Applications can optionally call the :ref:`VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS` ioctl to
+remove buffers from a queue.
+:ref:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS` ioctl support is mandatory to enable :ref:`VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS`.
+This ioctl is available if the ``V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_REMOVE_BUFS`` capability
+is set on the queue when :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` or :c:func:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS`
+are invoked.
+
+.. c:type:: v4l2_remove_buffers
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.5cm}|
+
+.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_remove_buffers
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 1 1 2
+
+ * - __u32
+ - ``index``
+ - The starting buffer index to remove. This field is ignored if count == 0.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``count``
+ - The number of buffers to be removed with indices 'index' until 'index + count - 1'.
+ All buffers in this range must be valid and in DEQUEUED state.
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS` will always check the validity of ``type`, if it is
+ invalid it returns ``EINVAL`` error code.
+ If count is set to 0 :ref:`VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS` will do nothing and return 0.
+ * - __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.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
It is not enough to just return an error code. it should also describe
what will be the expected behavior after the call. Something like:

If an error occurs, no buffers will be freed and one of the
error codes below will be returned:
That's good to have. That is indeed not stated explicitly.

+
+EBUSY
+ File I/O is in progress.
+ One or more of the buffers in the range ``index`` to ``index + count - 1`` are not
+ in DEQUEUED state.
+
+EINVAL
+ One or more of the buffers in the range ``index`` to ``index + count - 1`` do not
+ exist in the queue.
+ The buffer type (``type`` field) is not valid.
IMO, it needs also another error code: as there's a minimal number of
buffers to be queued (let's say, 2), what happens if there are currently
3 buffers allocated and an ioctl is called to free 2 buffers?

IMO, it shall return an error code and not free any buffers.
Note the requirement that all buffers you want to remove have to be in dequeued
state. So you can never remove buffers that are still in flight. An attempt to
do that results in EBUSY.

So there is no need for an other error code.

The best would be to return a code different than EINVAL. Maybe E2BIG?

It also needs:

if (q_num_bufs - count < q->min_reqbufs_allocation && q_num_bufs != count)
return <some error code>;

e. g. it shall not accept keeping, for instance, just one buffer allocated.
That's perfectly fine. The min_reqbufs_allocation is specific to VIDIOC_REQBUFS
(hence the name). If you use CREATE_BUFS/REMOVE_BUFS, then you are fully responsible
for allocating and removing buffers.

This is something that was discussed in earlier revisions of this series.

It is actually rather ugly that REQBUFS does this, but we need to keep that behavior
since that's how REQBUFS worked historically.

VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS was never affected by this, so if you want to allocate N
buffers with CREATE_BUFS, then you'll never get more than N buffers (you might get
less, of course).
OK.

So, after doing the documentation change, feel free to add:
