[PATCH 0/4] Make Frame Skip Mode control a standard

[PATCH 0/4] Make Frame Skip Mode control a standard

[Stanimir Varbanov]

Hello,

Suggested by Hans at [1], this patchset is promoting a standard control
for frame skip mode.

The original private V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_FRAME_SKIP_MODE control is
applicable and can be used by Venus driver too (and probably other drivers).
In order to make that possible make a new V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_FRAME_SKIP_MODE
standard menu control (a copy of the private one).

Also, to keep mfc driver backward compatible kept the private one, and mark
it as depricated in docs.

regards,
Stan

[PATCH 2/4] venus: venc: Add support for frame-skip mode v4l2 control

[Stanimir Varbanov]

This adds support for frame-skip-mode standard v4l2 control in
encoder driver. The control is implemented based on the
combination of client selected bitrate-mode and frame-skip-mode.
Once The client selected bitrate-mode (constant or variable) and
the frame-skip-mode is not disabled we set variable framerate for
rate controller.

[PATCH 3/4] media: s5p-mfc: Use standard frame skip mode control

[Stanimir Varbanov]

Use the standard menu control for frame skip mode in the MFC

I have nothing against this API, in fact it's really nice to generalize
as this is very common. Though, I think we are missing two things. This
documentation refer to the "chosen data limit". Is there controls to
configure these *chosen* limit ? The other issue is the vagueness of
the documented mode, see lower...

At least for H.264, a level is compose of 3 limits. One is the maximum
number of macroblocks, this is is evidently not use for frame skipping
and already constrained in V4L2 (assuming the driver does not ignore
the level control of course). The two other limits are decoded
macroblocks/s and encoded kbits/s. Both are measure over time, which
means the M2M encoder needs to be timing aware. I think the time source
should be documented. Perhaps it is mandatory to set a frame interval
for this to work ? Or we need some timestamp to allow variable frame
interval ? (I don't think the second is really an option without
extending the API again, and confusingly, since I think we have used
the timestamp for other purpose already)

The notion of VBV an CPB is unlikely well known. If my memory is right,
these are constrained in buffering: in bytes (VBV) or bits per frame
over a window of n-frames (or the gop size for some less flexible
encoder) (CPB). I think these should be somehow chosen by application
(with controls), directly or indirectly, and documented here to ensure
we get consistent implementation across drivers.

macroblocks/s and encoded kbits/s. Both are measure over time, which
means the M2M encoder needs to be timing aware. I think the time source
should be documented. Perhaps it is mandatory to set a frame interval
for this to work ? Or we need some timestamp to allow variable frame
interval ? (I don't think the second is really an option without
extending the API again, and confusingly, since I think we have used
the timestamp for other purpose already)

The notion of VBV an CPB is unlikely well known. If my memory is right,
these are constrained in buffering: in bytes (VBV) or bits per frame
over a window of n-frames (or the gop size for some less flexible
encoder) (CPB). I think these should be somehow chosen by application
(with controls), directly or indirectly, and documented here to ensure
we get consistent implementation across drivers.

Do you want to say that the encoder input timestamp, bitrate control
(V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE) and S_PARM is not enough to describe
FRAME_SKIP_MODE_LEVEL_LIMIT mode?

I guess you want me to add here references to the following controls:

V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VBV_SIZE
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VBV_DELAY
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_CPB_SIZE

I don't think we have spec to give the input timestamp a meaning that
driver can interpret. In fact I think we gave it a meaning that the
driver must not interpret it (aka driver opaque). So remain S_PARM to
give a clue, but some stream don't have a framerate (like RTP streams,
unless written in bitstream).
