A routing table is described by a struct +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_routing`, which contains ``num_routes`` route entries, each +one represented by a struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`. + +Data routes do not just connect one pad to another in an entity, but they refer +instead to the ``streams`` a media pad provides. Streams are data connection +endpoints in a media pad. Multiplexed media pads expose multiple ``streams`` +which represent, when the underlying hardware technology allows that, logical +data flows transported over a single physical media bus. + +A noteworthy example of logical stream multiplexing techniques is represented +by the data interleaving mechanism implemented by mean of Virtual Channels as +defined by the MIPI CSI-2 media bus specifications. A subdevice that implements +support for Virtual Channel data interleaving might expose up to 4 data +``streams``, one for each available Virtual Channel, on the source media pad +that represents a CSI-2 connection endpoint. + +Routes are defined as potential data connections between a ``(sink_pad, +sink_stream)`` pair and a ``(source_pad, source_stream)`` one, where +``sink_pad`` and ``source_pad`` are the indexes of two media pads part of the +same media entity, and ``sink_stream`` and ``source_stream`` are the identifiers +of the data streams to be connected in the media pads. Media pads that do not +support data multiplexing expose a single stream, usually with identifier 0. + +Routes are reported to applications in a routing table which can be +inspected and manipulated using the :ref:`routing ` +ioctls. + +Routes can be activated and deactivated by setting or clearing the +``V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_ACTIVE`` flag in the ``flags`` field of struct +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`. + +A subdev driver may create routes that cannot be modified by applications. +Such routes are identified by the presence of the +``V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_IMMUTABLE`` flag in the ``flags`` field of struct +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`. + +As an example, the routing table of a subdevice that has two sink pads and can +combine their streams on a single source pad as two logical streams is here +below described. + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Pad Index + - Function + - Number of streams + * - 0 + - SINK + - 1 + * - 1 + - SINK + - 1 + * - 2 + - SOURCE + - 2 + +In such an example, the source media pad will report a routing table with 4 +entries, one entry for each possible ``(sink_pad, sink_stream) - (source_pad, +source_stream)`` combination. + +.. flat-table:: routing table + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Sink Pad/Sink Stream + - -> + - Source Pad/Source Stream + * - 0/0 + - -> + - 2/0 + * - 0/0 + - -> + - 2/1 + * - 1/0 + - -> + - 2/0 + * - 1/0 + - -> + - 2/1 + +Subdev drivers are free to decide how many routes an application can enable on +a media pad at the same time, and refuse to enable or disable specific routes. diff --git a/Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/user-func.rst b/Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/user-func.rst index 53e604bd7d60..228c1521f190 100644 --- a/Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/user-func.rst +++ b/Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/user-func.rst @@ -70,6 +70,7 @@ Function Reference vidioc-subdev-g-crop vidioc-subdev-g-fmt vidioc-subdev-g-frame-interval + vidioc-subdev-g-routing vidioc-subdev-g-selection vidioc-subdev-querycap vidioc-subscribe-event diff --git a/Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vidioc-subdev-g-routing.rst b/Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vidioc-subdev-g-routing.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..993847be2446 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vidioc-subdev-g-routing.rst @@ -0,0 +1,143 @@ +..
