[PATCH 0/8] media: cedrus: h264: Support multi-slice frames

[Jernej Skrabec]

This series is continuation of work from
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/cover/58186/

It picks up unmerged patches (9-12) from aforementioned series and
adds support for decoding multi-slice H264 frames along with support
for V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH and V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF in
Cedrus driver.

Code was tested by modified ffmpeg, which can be found here:
https://github.com/jernejsk/FFmpeg, branch mainline-test
It has to be configured with at least following options:
--enable-v4l2-request --enable-libudev --enable-libdrm

Samples used for testing:
http://jernej.libreelec.tv/videos/h264/BA1_FT_C.mp4
http://jernej.libreelec.tv/videos/h264/h264.mp4

Command line used for testing:
ffmpeg -hwaccel drm -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/card0 -i h264.mp4 -pix_fmt bgra -f fbdev /dev/fb0

Please note that V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH was not tested because I'm
not sure how. ffmpeg follows exactly which slice is last in frame
and sets hold flag accordingly. Improper usage of hold flag would
corrupt ffmpeg assumptions and it would probably crash. Any ideas
how to test this are welcome!

Thanks to Jonas for adjusting ffmpeg.

Please let me know what you think.

Best regards,
Jernej

[PATCH 1/8] vb2: add V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF

[Jernej Skrabec]

From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl>

This patch adds support for the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF flag.
It also adds a new V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF capability and
a v4l2_m2m_release_capture_buf() helper function.

Drivers should set vb2_queue->subsystem_flags to
VB2_V4L2_FL_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF to indicate support for this flag.

The device_run() function should look like this:

if (v4l2_m2m_release_capture_buf(out_vb, cap_vb)) {
	v4l2_m2m_dst_buf_remove(m2m_ctx);
	v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);
	cap_vb = v4l2_m2m_next_dst_buf(ctx->fh.m2m_ctx);
}
cap_vb->is_held = out_vb->flags & V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF;

...

v4l2_m2m_buf_done(out_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);
if (!cap_vb->is_held) {
	v4l2_m2m_dst_buf_remove(m2m_ctx);
	v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);
}

In order to handle the corner case where V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF
is always set for the output buffer, and you reached the last frame (so no
new output buffer will be queued with a new timestamp), the driver must
implement support for the V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH command, and that should do:

struct vb2_v4l2_buffer *out_vb = v4l2_m2m_last_src_buf(m2m_ctx);
struct vb2_v4l2_buffer *cap_vb = v4l2_m2m_last_dst_buf(m2m_ctx);

if (out_vb)
	out_vb->flags &= ~V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF;
else if (cap_vb && cap_vb->is_held)
	v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);

For formats that do not support slicing (e.g. VP8), the FLUSH command
just does nothing.

[PATCH 3/8] media: docs-rst: Document m2m stateless video decoder interface

[Jernej Skrabec]

From: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@chromium.org>

Documents the protocol that user-space should follow when
communicating with stateless video decoders.

The stateless video decoding API makes use of the new request and tags
APIs. While it has been implemented with the Cedrus driver so far, it
should probably still be considered staging for a short while.

+**************************************************
+Memory-to-memory Stateless Video Decoder Interface
+**************************************************
+
+A stateless decoder is a decoder that works without retaining any kind of state
+between processed frames. This means that each frame is decoded independently
+of any previous and future frames, and that the client is responsible for
+maintaining the decoding state and providing it to the decoder with each
+decoding request. This is in contrast to the stateful video decoder interface,
+where the hardware and driver maintain the decoding state and all the client
+has to do is to provide the raw encoded stream and dequeue decoded frames in
+display order.
+
+This section describes how user-space ("the client") is expected to communicate
+with stateless decoders in order to successfully decode an encoded stream.
+Compared to stateful codecs, the decoder/client sequence is simpler, but the
+cost of this simplicity is extra complexity in the client which is responsible
+for maintaining a consistent decoding state.
+
+Stateless decoders make use of the :ref:`media-request-api`. A stateless
+decoder must expose the ``V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_REQUESTS`` capability on its
+``OUTPUT`` queue when :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` or :c:func:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS`
+are invoked.
+
+Depending on the encoded formats supported by the decoder, a single decoded
+frame may be the result of several decode requests (for instance, H.264 streams
+with multiple slices per frame). Decoders that support such formats must also
+expose the ``V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` capability on their
+``OUTPUT`` queue.
+
+Querying capabilities
+=====================
+
+1. To enumerate the set of coded formats supported by the decoder, the client
+   calls :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on the ``OUTPUT`` queue.
+
+   * The driver must always return the full set of supported ``OUTPUT`` formats,
+     irrespective of the format currently set on the ``CAPTURE`` queue.
+
+   * Simultaneously, the driver must restrain the set of values returned by
+     codec-specific capability controls (such as H.264 profiles) to the set
+     actually supported by the hardware.
+
+2. To enumerate the set of supported raw formats, the client calls
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on the ``CAPTURE`` queue.
+
+   * The driver must return only the formats supported for the format currently
+     active on the ``OUTPUT`` queue.
+
+   * Depending on the currently set ``OUTPUT`` format, the set of supported raw
+     formats may depend on the value of some codec-dependent controls.
+     The client is responsible for making sure that these controls are set
+     before querying the ``CAPTURE`` queue. Failure to do so will result in the
+     default values for these controls being used, and a returned set of formats
+     that may not be usable for the media the client is trying to decode.
+
+3. The client may use :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` to detect supported
+   resolutions for a given format, passing desired pixel format in
+   :c:type:`v4l2_frmsizeenum`'s ``pixel_format``.
+
+4. Supported profiles and levels for the current ``OUTPUT`` format, if
+   applicable, may be queried using their respective controls via
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`.
+
+Initialization
+==============
+
+1. Set the coded format on the ``OUTPUT`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``.
+
+     ``pixelformat``
+         a coded pixel format.
+
+     ``width``, ``height``
+         coded width and height parsed from the stream.
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Changing the ``OUTPUT`` format may change the currently set ``CAPTURE``
+      format. The driver will derive a new ``CAPTURE`` format from the
+      ``OUTPUT`` format being set, including resolution, colorimetry
+      parameters, etc. If the client needs a specific ``CAPTURE`` format,
+      it must adjust it afterwards.
+
+2. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS` to set all the controls (parsed headers,
+   etc.) required by the ``OUTPUT`` format to enumerate the ``CAPTURE`` formats.
+
+3. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT` for ``CAPTURE`` queue to get the format for the
+   destination buffers parsed/decoded from the bytestream.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``.
+
+   * **Returned fields:**
+
+     ``width``, ``height``
+         frame buffer resolution for the decoded frames.
+
+     ``pixelformat``
+         pixel format for decoded frames.
+
+     ``num_planes`` (for _MPLANE ``type`` only)
+         number of planes for pixelformat.
+
+     ``sizeimage``, ``bytesperline``
+         as per standard semantics; matching frame buffer format.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The value of ``pixelformat`` may be any pixel format supported for the
+      ``OUTPUT`` format, based on the hardware capabilities. It is suggested
+      that the driver chooses the preferred/optimal format for the current
+      configuration. For example, a YUV format may be preferred over an RGB
+      format, if an additional conversion step would be required for RGB.
+
+4. *[optional]* Enumerate ``CAPTURE`` formats via :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on
+   the ``CAPTURE`` queue. The client may use this ioctl to discover which
+   alternative raw formats are supported for the current ``OUTPUT`` format and
+   select one of them via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The driver will return only formats supported for the currently selected
+      ``OUTPUT`` format and currently set controls, even if more formats may be
+      supported by the decoder in general.
+
+      For example, a decoder may support YUV and RGB formats for
+      resolutions 1920x1088 and lower, but only YUV for higher resolutions (due
+      to hardware limitations). After setting a resolution of 1920x1088 or lower
+      as the ``OUTPUT`` format, :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` may return a set of
+      YUV and RGB pixel formats, but after setting a resolution higher than
+      1920x1088, the driver will not return RGB pixel formats, since they are
+      unsupported for this resolution.
+
+5. *[optional]* Choose a different ``CAPTURE`` format than suggested via
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT` on ``CAPTURE`` queue. It is possible for the client to
+   choose a different format than selected/suggested by the driver in
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`.
+
+    * **Required fields:**
+
+      ``type``
+          a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``.
+
+      ``pixelformat``
+          a raw pixel format.
+
+      ``width``, ``height``
+         frame buffer resolution of the decoded stream; typically unchanged from
+         what was returned with :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`, but it may be different
+         if the hardware supports composition and/or scaling.
+
+   After performing this step, the client must perform step 3 again in order
+   to obtain up-to-date information about the buffers size and layout.
+
+6. Allocate source (bytestream) buffers via :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on
+   ``OUTPUT`` queue.
+
+    * **Required fields:**
+
+      ``count``
+          requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero.
+
+      ``type``
+          a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``.
+
+      ``memory``
+          follows standard semantics.
+
+    * **Return fields:**
+
+      ``count``
+          actual number of buffers allocated.
+
+    * If required, the driver will adjust ``count`` to be equal or bigger to the
+      minimum of required number of ``OUTPUT`` buffers for the given format and
+      requested count. The client must check this value after the ioctl returns
+      to get the actual number of buffers allocated.
+
+7. Allocate destination (raw format) buffers via :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on the
+   ``CAPTURE`` queue.
+
+    * **Required fields:**
+
+      ``count``
+          requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero. The client
+          is responsible for deducing the minimum number of buffers required
+          for the stream to be properly decoded (taking e.g. reference frames
+          into account) and pass an equal or bigger number.
+
+      ``type``
+          a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``.
+
+      ``memory``
+          follows standard semantics. ``V4L2_MEMORY_USERPTR`` is not supported
+          for ``CAPTURE`` buffers.
+
+    * **Return fields:**
+
+      ``count``
+          adjusted to allocated number of buffers, in case the codec requires
+          more buffers than requested.
+
+    * The driver must adjust count to the minimum of required number of
+      ``CAPTURE`` buffers for the current format, stream configuration and
+      requested count. The client must check this value after the ioctl
+      returns to get the number of buffers allocated.
+
+8. Allocate requests (likely one per ``OUTPUT`` buffer) via
+    :c:func:`MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC` on the media device.
+
+9. Start streaming on both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` queues via
+    :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON`.
+
+Decoding
+========
+
+For each frame, the client is responsible for submitting at least one request to
+which the following is attached:
+
+* The amount of encoded data expected by the codec for its current
+  configuration, as a buffer submitted to the ``OUTPUT`` queue. Typically, this
+  corresponds to one frame worth of encoded data, but some formats may allow (or
+  require) different amounts per unit.
+* All the metadata needed to decode the submitted encoded data, in the form of
+  controls relevant to the format being decoded.
+
+The amount of data and contents of the source ``OUTPUT`` buffer, as well as the
+controls that must be set on the request, depend on the active coded pixel
+format and might be affected by codec-specific extended controls, as stated in
+documentation of each format.
+
+If there is a possibility that the decoded frame will require one or more
+decode requests after the current one in order to be produced, then the client
+must set the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag on the ``OUTPUT``
+buffer. This will result in the (potentially partially) decoded ``CAPTURE``
+buffer not being made available for dequeueing, and reused for the next decode
+request if the timestamp of the next ``OUTPUT`` buffer has not changed.
+
+A typical frame would thus be decoded using the following sequence:
+
+1. Queue an ``OUTPUT`` buffer containing one unit of encoded bytestream data for
+   the decoding request, using :c:func:`VIDIOC_QBUF`.
+
+    * **Required fields:**
+
+      ``index``
+          index of the buffer being queued.
+
+      ``type``
+          type of the buffer.
+
+      ``bytesused``
+          number of bytes taken by the encoded data frame in the buffer.
+
+      ``flags``
+          the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_REQUEST_FD`` flag must be set. Additionally, if
+          we are not sure that the current decode request is the last one needed
+          to produce a fully decoded frame, then
+          ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` must also be set.
+
+      ``request_fd``
+          must be set to the file descriptor of the decoding request.
+
+      ``timestamp``
+          must be set to a unique value per frame. This value will be propagated
+          into the decoded frame's buffer and can also be used to use this frame
+          as the reference of another. If using multiple decode requests per
+          frame, then the timestamps of all the ``OUTPUT`` buffers for a given
+          frame must be identical. If the timestamp changes, then the currently
+          held ``CAPTURE`` buffer will be made available for dequeuing and the
+          current request will work on a new ``CAPTURE`` buffer.
+
+2. Set the codec-specific controls for the decoding request, using
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS`.
+
+    * **Required fields:**
+
+      ``which``
+          must be ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``.
+
+      ``request_fd``
+          must be set to the file descriptor of the decoding request.
+
+      other fields
+          other fields are set as usual when setting controls. The ``controls``
+          array must contain all the codec-specific controls required to decode
+          a frame.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      It is possible to specify the controls in different invocations of
+      :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS`, or to overwrite a previously set control, as
+      long as ``request_fd`` and ``which`` are properly set. The controls state
+      at the moment of request submission is the one that will be considered.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The order in which steps 1 and 2 take place is interchangeable.
+
+3. Submit the request by invoking :c:func:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` on the
+   request FD.
+
+    If the request is submitted without an ``OUTPUT`` buffer, or if some of the
+    required controls are missing from the request, then
+    :c:func:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` will return ``-ENOENT``. If more than one
+    ``OUTPUT`` buffer is queued, then it will return ``-EINVAL``.
+    :c:func:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` returning non-zero means that no
+    ``CAPTURE`` buffer will be produced for this request.
+
+``CAPTURE`` buffers must not be part of the request, and are queued
+independently. They are returned in decode order (i.e. the same order as coded
+frames were submitted to the ``OUTPUT`` queue).
+
+Runtime decoding errors are signaled by the dequeued ``CAPTURE`` buffers
+carrying the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR`` flag. If a decoded reference frame has an
+error, then all following decoded frames that refer to it also have the
+``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR`` flag set, although the decoder will still try to
+produce (likely corrupted) frames.
+
+Buffer management while decoding
+================================
+Contrary to stateful decoders, a stateless decoder does not perform any kind of
+buffer management: it only guarantees that dequeued ``CAPTURE`` buffers can be
+used by the client for as long as they are not queued again. "Used" here
+encompasses using the buffer for compositing or display.
+
+A dequeued capture buffer can also be used as the reference frame of another
+buffer.
+
+A frame is specified as reference by converting its timestamp into nanoseconds,
+and storing it into the relevant member of a codec-dependent control structure.
+The :c:func:`v4l2_timeval_to_ns` function must be used to perform that
+conversion. The timestamp of a frame can be used to reference it as soon as all
+its units of encoded data are successfully submitted to the ``OUTPUT`` queue.
+
+A decoded buffer containing a reference frame must not be reused as a decoding
+target until all the frames referencing it have been decoded. The safest way to
+achieve this is to refrain from queueing a reference buffer until all the
+decoded frames referencing it have been dequeued. However, if the driver can
+guarantee that buffers queued to the ``CAPTURE`` queue are processed in queued
+order, then user-space can take advantage of this guarantee and queue a
+reference buffer when the following conditions are met:
+
+1. All the requests for frames affected by the reference frame have been
+   queued, and
+
+2. A sufficient number of ``CAPTURE`` buffers to cover all the decoded
+   referencing frames have been queued.
+
+When queuing a decoding request, the driver will increase the reference count of
+all the resources associated with reference frames. This means that the client
+can e.g. close the DMABUF file descriptors of reference frame buffers if it
+won't need them afterwards.
+
+Seeking
+=======
+In order to seek, the client just needs to submit requests using input buffers
+corresponding to the new stream position. It must however be aware that
+resolution may have changed and follow the dynamic resolution change sequence in
+that case. Also depending on the codec used, picture parameters (e.g. SPS/PPS
+for H.264) may have changed and the client is responsible for making sure that a
+valid state is sent to the decoder.
+
+The client is then free to ignore any returned ``CAPTURE`` buffer that comes
+from the pre-seek position.
+
+Pausing
+=======
+
+In order to pause, the client can just cease queuing buffers onto the ``OUTPUT``
+queue. Without source bytestream data, there is no data to process and the codec
+will remain idle.
+
+Dynamic resolution change
+=========================
+
+If the client detects a resolution change in the stream, it will need to perform
+the initialization sequence again with the new resolution:
+
+1. If the last submitted request resulted in a ``CAPTURE`` buffer being
+   held by the use of the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag, then the
+   last frame is not available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. In this case, a
+   ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH`` command shall be sent. This will make the driver
+   dequeue the held ``CAPTURE`` buffer.
+
+2. Wait until all submitted requests have completed and dequeue the
+   corresponding output buffers.
+
+3. Call :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` on both the ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE``
+   queues.
+
+4. Free all ``CAPTURE`` buffers by calling :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` on the
+   ``CAPTURE`` queue with a buffer count of zero.
+
+5. Perform the initialization sequence again (minus the allocation of
+   ``OUTPUT`` buffers), with the new resolution set on the ``OUTPUT`` queue.
+   Note that due to resolution constraints, a different format may need to be
+   picked on the ``CAPTURE`` queue.
+
+Drain
+=====
+
+If the last submitted request resulted in a ``CAPTURE`` buffer being
+held by the use of the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag, then the
+last frame is not available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. In this case, a
+``V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH`` command shall be sent. This will make the driver
+dequeue the held ``CAPTURE`` buffer.
+
+After that, in order to drain the stream on a stateless decoder, the client
+just needs to wait until all the submitted requests are completed.

[PATCH 4/8] media: docs-rst: Document memory-to-memory video encoder interface

[Jernej Skrabec]

From: Tomasz Figa <tfiga@chromium.org>

Due to complexity of the video encoding process, the V4L2 drivers of
stateful encoder hardware require specific sequences of V4L2 API calls
to be followed. These include capability enumeration, initialization,
encoding, encode parameters change, drain and reset.

Specifics of the above have been discussed during Media Workshops at
LinuxCon Europe 2012 in Barcelona and then later Embedded Linux
Conference Europe 2014 in Düsseldorf. The de facto Codec API that
originated at those events was later implemented by the drivers we already
have merged in mainline, such as s5p-mfc or coda.

The only thing missing was the real specification included as a part of
Linux Media documentation. Fix it now and document the encoder part of
the Codec API.

+*************************************************
+Memory-to-Memory Stateful Video Encoder Interface
+*************************************************
+
+A stateful video encoder takes raw video frames in display order and encodes
+them into a bytestream. It generates complete chunks of the bytestream, including
+all metadata, headers, etc. The resulting bytestream does not require any
+further post-processing by the client.
+
+Performing software stream processing, header generation etc. in the driver
+in order to support this interface is strongly discouraged. In case such
+operations are needed, use of the Stateless Video Encoder Interface (in
+development) is strongly advised.
+
+Conventions and Notations Used in This Document
+===============================================
+
+1. The general V4L2 API rules apply if not specified in this document
+   otherwise.

+   2119 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119>`_.
+
+3. All steps not marked "optional" are required.
+
+4. :c:func:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS` may be used

+
+Querying Capabilities
+=====================
+
+1. To enumerate the set of coded formats supported by the encoder, the
+   client may call :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on ``CAPTURE``.
+
+   * The full set of supported formats will be returned, regardless of the
+     format set on ``OUTPUT``.
+
+2. To enumerate the set of supported raw formats, the client may call
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` on ``OUTPUT``.
+
+   * Only the formats supported for the format currently active on ``CAPTURE``
+     will be returned.
+
+   * In order to enumerate raw formats supported by a given coded format,
+     the client must first set that coded format on ``CAPTURE`` and then
+     enumerate the formats on ``OUTPUT``.
+
+3. The client may use :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` to detect supported
+   resolutions for a given format, passing desired pixel format in
+   :c:type:`v4l2_frmsizeenum` ``pixel_format``.
+
+   * Values returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` for a coded pixel
+     format will include all possible coded resolutions supported by the
+     encoder for given coded pixel format.
+
+   * Values returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` for a raw pixel format
+     will include all possible frame buffer resolutions supported by the
+     encoder for given raw pixel format and coded format currently set on
+     ``CAPTURE``.
+
+4. Supported profiles and levels for the coded format currently set on
+   ``CAPTURE``, if applicable, may be queried using their respective controls
+   via :c:func:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`.
+
+5. Any additional encoder capabilities may be discovered by querying
+   their respective controls.
+
+Initialization
+==============
+
+1. Set the coded format on the ``CAPTURE`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``CAPTURE``.
+
+     ``pixelformat``
+         the coded format to be produced.
+
+     ``sizeimage``
+         desired size of ``CAPTURE`` buffers; the encoder may adjust it to
+         match hardware requirements.
+
+     ``width``, ``height``
+         ignored (read-only).
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+   * **Return fields:**
+
+     ``sizeimage``
+         adjusted size of ``CAPTURE`` buffers.
+
+     ``width``, ``height``
+         the coded size selected by the encoder based on current state, e.g.
+         ``OUTPUT`` format, selection rectangles, etc. (read-only).
+
+   .. important::
+
+      Changing the ``CAPTURE`` format may change the currently set ``OUTPUT``
+      format. How the new ``OUTPUT`` format is determined is up to the encoder
+      and the client must ensure it matches its needs afterwards.
+
+2. **Optional.** Enumerate supported ``OUTPUT`` formats (raw formats for
+   source) for the selected coded format via :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT`.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``.
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+   * **Return fields:**
+
+     ``pixelformat``
+         raw format supported for the coded format currently selected on
+         the ``CAPTURE`` queue.
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+3. Set the raw source format on the ``OUTPUT`` queue via
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_FMT`.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``.
+
+     ``pixelformat``
+         raw format of the source.
+
+     ``width``, ``height``
+         source resolution.
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+   * **Return fields:**
+
+     ``width``, ``height``
+         may be adjusted to match encoder minimums, maximums and alignment
+         requirements, as required by the currently selected formats, as
+         reported by :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES`.
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+   * Setting the ``OUTPUT`` format will reset the selection rectangles to their
+     default values, based on the new resolution, as described in the next
+     step.
+
+4. **Optional.** Set the visible resolution for the stream metadata via
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_SELECTION` on the ``OUTPUT`` queue if it is desired
+   to be different than the full OUTPUT resolution.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``.
+
+     ``target``
+         set to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP``.
+
+     ``r.left``, ``r.top``, ``r.width``, ``r.height``
+         visible rectangle; this must fit within the `V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_BOUNDS`
+         rectangle and may be subject to adjustment to match codec and
+         hardware constraints.
+
+   * **Return fields:**
+
+     ``r.left``, ``r.top``, ``r.width``, ``r.height``
+         visible rectangle adjusted by the encoder.
+
+   * The following selection targets are supported on ``OUTPUT``:
+
+     ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_BOUNDS``
+         equal to the full source frame, matching the active ``OUTPUT``
+         format.
+
+     ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_DEFAULT``
+         equal to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_BOUNDS``.
+
+     ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP``
+         rectangle within the source buffer to be encoded into the
+         ``CAPTURE`` stream; defaults to ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_DEFAULT``.
+
+         .. note::
+
+            A common use case for this selection target is encoding a source
+            video with a resolution that is not a multiple of a macroblock,
+            e.g.  the common 1920x1080 resolution may require the source
+            buffers to be aligned to 1920x1088 for codecs with 16x16 macroblock
+            size. To avoid encoding the padding, the client needs to explicitly
+            configure this selection target to 1920x1080.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      The encoder may adjust the crop/compose rectangles to the nearest
+      supported ones to meet codec and hardware requirements. The client needs
+      to check the adjusted rectangle returned by :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_SELECTION`.
+
+5. Allocate buffers for both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` via
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS`. This may be performed in any order.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``count``
+         requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero.
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT`` or
+         ``CAPTURE``.
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+   * **Return fields:**
+
+     ``count``
+          actual number of buffers allocated.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      The actual number of allocated buffers may differ from the ``count``
+      given. The client must check the updated value of ``count`` after the
+      call returns.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      To allocate more than the minimum number of OUTPUT buffers (for pipeline
+      depth), the client may query the ``V4L2_CID_MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_OUTPUT``
+      control to get the minimum number of buffers required, and pass the
+      obtained value plus the number of additional buffers needed in the
+      ``count`` field to :c:func:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS`.
+
+   Alternatively, :c:func:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS` can be used to have more
+   control over buffer allocation.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``count``
+         requested number of buffers to allocate; greater than zero.
+
+     ``type``
+         a ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_*`` enum appropriate for ``OUTPUT``.
+
+     other fields
+         follow standard semantics.
+
+   * **Return fields:**
+
+     ``count``
+         adjusted to the number of allocated buffers.
+
+6. Begin streaming on both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE`` queues via
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON`. This may be performed in any order. The actual
+   encoding process starts when both queues start streaming.
+
+.. note::
+
+   If the client stops the ``CAPTURE`` queue during the encode process and then
+   restarts it again, the encoder will begin generating a stream independent
+   from the stream generated before the stop. The exact constraints depend
+   on the coded format, but may include the following implications:
+
+   * encoded frames produced after the restart must not reference any
+     frames produced before the stop, e.g. no long term references for
+     H.264/HEVC,
+
+   * any headers that must be included in a standalone stream must be
+     produced again, e.g. SPS and PPS for H.264/HEVC.
+
+Encoding
+========
+
+This state is reached after the `Initialization` sequence finishes
+successfully.  In this state, the client queues and dequeues buffers to both
+queues via :c:func:`VIDIOC_QBUF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`, following the
+standard semantics.
+
+The content of encoded ``CAPTURE`` buffers depends on the active coded pixel
+format and may be affected by codec-specific extended controls, as stated
+in the documentation of each format.
+
+Both queues operate independently, following standard behavior of V4L2 buffer
+queues and memory-to-memory devices. In addition, the order of encoded frames
+dequeued from the ``CAPTURE`` queue may differ from the order of queuing raw
+frames to the ``OUTPUT`` queue, due to properties of the selected coded format,
+e.g. frame reordering.
+
+The client must not assume any direct relationship between ``CAPTURE`` and
+``OUTPUT`` buffers and any specific timing of buffers becoming
+available to dequeue. Specifically:
+
+* a buffer queued to ``OUTPUT`` may result in more than one buffer produced on
+  ``CAPTURE`` (if returning an encoded frame allowed the encoder to return a
+  frame that preceded it in display, but succeeded it in the decode order),
+
+* a buffer queued to ``OUTPUT`` may result in a buffer being produced on
+  ``CAPTURE`` later into encode process, and/or after processing further
+  ``OUTPUT`` buffers, or be returned out of order, e.g. if display
+  reordering is used,
+
+* buffers may become available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue without additional
+  buffers queued to ``OUTPUT`` (e.g. during drain or ``EOS``), because of the
+  ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued in the past whose decoding results are only
+  available at later time, due to specifics of the decoding process,
+
+* buffers queued to ``OUTPUT`` may not become available to dequeue instantly
+  after being encoded into a corresponding ``CAPTURE`` buffer, e.g. if the
+  encoder needs to use the frame as a reference for encoding further frames.
+
+.. note::
+
+   To allow matching encoded ``CAPTURE`` buffers with ``OUTPUT`` buffers they
+   originated from, the client can set the ``timestamp`` field of the
+   :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` struct when queuing an ``OUTPUT`` buffer. The
+   ``CAPTURE`` buffer(s), which resulted from encoding that ``OUTPUT`` buffer
+   will have their ``timestamp`` field set to the same value when dequeued.
+
+   In addition to the straightforward case of one ``OUTPUT`` buffer producing
+   one ``CAPTURE`` buffer, the following cases are defined:
+
+   * one ``OUTPUT`` buffer generates multiple ``CAPTURE`` buffers: the same
+     ``OUTPUT`` timestamp will be copied to multiple ``CAPTURE`` buffers,
+
+   * the encoding order differs from the presentation order (i.e. the
+     ``CAPTURE`` buffers are out-of-order compared to the ``OUTPUT`` buffers):
+     ``CAPTURE`` timestamps will not retain the order of ``OUTPUT`` timestamps.
+
+.. note::
+
+   To let the client distinguish between frame types (keyframes, intermediate
+   frames; the exact list of types depends on the coded format), the
+   ``CAPTURE`` buffers will have corresponding flag bits set in their
+   :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` struct when dequeued. See the documentation of
+   :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` and each coded pixel format for exact list of flags
+   and their meanings.
+
+Should an encoding error occur, it will be reported to the client with the level
+of details depending on the encoder capabilities. Specifically:
+
+* the CAPTURE buffer (if any) that contains the results of the failed encode
+  operation will be returned with the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR flag set,
+
+* if the encoder is able to precisely report the OUTPUT buffer(s) that triggered
+  the error, such buffer(s) will be returned with the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR flag
+  set.
+
+In case of a fatal failure that does not allow the encoding to continue, any
+further operations on corresponding encoder file handle will return the -EIO
+error code. The client may close the file handle and open a new one, or
+alternatively reinitialize the instance by stopping streaming on both queues,
+releasing all buffers and performing the Initialization sequence again.
+
+Encoding Parameter Changes
+==========================
+
+The client is allowed to use :c:func:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL` to change encoder
+parameters at any time. The availability of parameters is encoder-specific
+and the client must query the encoder to find the set of available controls.
+
+The ability to change each parameter during encoding is encoder-specific, as
+per the standard semantics of the V4L2 control interface. The client may
+attempt to set a control during encoding and if the operation fails with the
+-EBUSY error code, the ``CAPTURE`` queue needs to be stopped for the
+configuration change to be allowed. To do this, it may follow the `Drain`
+sequence to avoid losing the already queued/encoded frames.
+
+The timing of parameter updates is encoder-specific, as per the standard
+semantics of the V4L2 control interface. If the client needs to apply the
+parameters exactly at specific frame, using the Request API
+(:ref:`media-request-api`) should be considered, if supported by the encoder.
+
+Drain
+=====
+
+To ensure that all the queued ``OUTPUT`` buffers have been processed and the
+related ``CAPTURE`` buffers are given to the client, the client must follow the
+drain sequence described below. After the drain sequence ends, the client has
+received all encoded frames for all ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued before the
+sequence was started.
+
+1. Begin the drain sequence by issuing :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD`.
+
+   * **Required fields:**
+
+     ``cmd``
+         set to ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP``.
+
+     ``flags``
+         set to 0.
+
+     ``pts``
+         set to 0.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      The sequence can be only initiated if both ``OUTPUT`` and ``CAPTURE``
+      queues are streaming. For compatibility reasons, the call to
+      :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD` will not fail even if any of the queues is
+      not streaming, but at the same time it will not initiate the `Drain`
+      sequence and so the steps described below would not be applicable.
+
+2. Any ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued by the client before the
+   :c:func:`VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD` was issued will be processed and encoded as
+   normal. The client must continue to handle both queues independently,
+   similarly to normal encode operation. This includes:
+
+   * queuing and dequeuing ``CAPTURE`` buffers, until a buffer marked with the
+     ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag is dequeued,
+
+     .. warning::
+
+        The last buffer may be empty (with :c:type:`v4l2_buffer`
+        ``bytesused`` = 0) and in that case it must be ignored by the client,
+        as it does not contain an encoded frame.
+
+     .. note::
+
+        Any attempt to dequeue more ``CAPTURE`` buffers beyond the buffer
+        marked with ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` will result in a -EPIPE error from
+        :c:func:`VIDIOC_DQBUF`.
+
+   * dequeuing processed ``OUTPUT`` buffers, until all the buffers queued
+     before the ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` command are dequeued,
+
+   * dequeuing the ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS`` event, if the client subscribes to it.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      For backwards compatibility, the encoder will signal a ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS``
+      event when the last frame has been encoded and all frames are ready to be
+      dequeued. It is deprecated behavior and the client must not rely on it.
+      The ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` buffer flag should be used instead.
+
+3. Once all ``OUTPUT`` buffers queued before the ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` call are
+   dequeued and the last ``CAPTURE`` buffer is dequeued, the encoder is stopped
+   and it will accept, but not process any newly queued ``OUTPUT`` buffers
+   until the client issues any of the following operations:
+
+   * ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_START`` - the encoder will not be reset and will resume
+     operation normally, with all the state from before the drain,
+
+   * a pair of :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the
+     ``CAPTURE`` queue - the encoder will be reset (see the `Reset` sequence)
+     and then resume encoding,
+
+   * a pair of :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` on the
+     ``OUTPUT`` queue - the encoder will resume operation normally, however any
+     source frames queued to the ``OUTPUT`` queue between ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP``
+     and :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` will be discarded.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Once the drain sequence is initiated, the client needs to drive it to
+   completion, as described by the steps above, unless it aborts the process by
+   issuing :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` on any of the ``OUTPUT`` or ``CAPTURE``
+   queues.  The client is not allowed to issue ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_START`` or
+   ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` again while the drain sequence is in progress and they
+   will fail with -EBUSY error code if attempted.
+
+   For reference, handling of various corner cases is described below:
+
+   * In case of no buffer in the ``OUTPUT`` queue at the time the
+     ``V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP`` command was issued, the drain sequence completes
+     immediately and the encoder returns an empty ``CAPTURE`` buffer with the
+     ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag set.
+
+   * In case of no buffer in the ``CAPTURE`` queue at the time the drain
+     sequence completes, the next time the client queues a ``CAPTURE`` buffer
+     it is returned at once as an empty buffer with the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST``
+     flag set.
+
+   * If :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` is called on the ``CAPTURE`` queue in the
+     middle of the drain sequence, the drain sequence is canceled and all
+     ``CAPTURE`` buffers are implicitly returned to the client.
+
+   * If :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF` is called on the ``OUTPUT`` queue in the
+     middle of the drain sequence, the drain sequence completes immediately and
+     next ``CAPTURE`` buffer will be returned empty with the
+     ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST`` flag set.
+
+   Although mandatory, the availability of encoder commands may be queried
+   using :c:func:`VIDIOC_TRY_ENCODER_CMD`.
+
+Reset
+=====
+
+The client may want to request the encoder to reinitialize the encoding, so
+that the following stream data becomes independent from the stream data
+generated before. Depending on the coded format, that may imply that:
+
+* encoded frames produced after the restart must not reference any frames
+  produced before the stop, e.g. no long term references for H.264/HEVC,
+
+* any headers that must be included in a standalone stream must be produced
+  again, e.g. SPS and PPS for H.264/HEVC.
+
+This can be achieved by performing the reset sequence.
+
+1. Perform the `Drain` sequence to ensure all the in-flight encoding finishes
+   and respective buffers are dequeued.
+
+2. Stop streaming on the ``CAPTURE`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF`. This
+   will return all currently queued ``CAPTURE`` buffers to the client, without
+   valid frame data.
+
+3. Start streaming on the ``CAPTURE`` queue via :c:func:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` and
+   continue with regular encoding sequence. The encoded frames produced into
+   ``CAPTURE`` buffers from now on will contain a standalone stream that can be
+   decoded without the need for frames encoded before the reset sequence,
+   starting at the first ``OUTPUT`` buffer queued after issuing the
+   `V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP` of the `Drain` sequence.
+
+This sequence may be also used to change encoding parameters for encoders
+without the ability to change the parameters on the fly.
+
+Commit Points
+=============
+
+Setting formats and allocating buffers triggers changes in the behavior of the
+encoder.
+
+1. Setting the format on the ``CAPTURE`` queue may change the set of formats
+   supported/advertised on the ``OUTPUT`` queue. In particular, it also means
+   that the ``OUTPUT`` format may be reset and the client must not rely on the
+   previously set format being preserved.
+
+2. Enumerating formats on the ``OUTPUT`` queue always returns only formats
+   supported for the current ``CAPTURE`` format.
+
+3. Setting the format on the ``OUTPUT`` queue does not change the list of
+   formats available on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. An attempt to set the ``OUTPUT``
+   format that is not supported for the currently selected ``CAPTURE`` format
+   will result in the encoder adjusting the requested ``OUTPUT`` format to a
+   supported one.
+
+4. Enumerating formats on the ``CAPTURE`` queue always returns the full set of
+   supported coded formats, irrespective of the current ``OUTPUT`` format.
+
+5. While buffers are allocated on any of the ``OUTPUT`` or ``CAPTURE`` queues,
+   the client must not change the format on the ``CAPTURE`` queue. Drivers will
+   return the -EBUSY error code for any such format change attempt.
+
+To summarize, setting formats and allocation must always start with the
+``CAPTURE`` queue and the ``CAPTURE`` queue is the master that governs the
+set of supported formats for the ``OUTPUT`` queue.

[PATCH 5/8] media: cedrus: Detect first slice of a frame

[Jernej Skrabec]

When codec supports multiple slices in one frame, VPU has to know when
first slice of each frame is being processed, presumably to correctly
clear/set data in auxiliary buffers.

Add first_slice field to cedrus_run structure and set it according to
timestamps of capture and output buffers. If timestamps are different,
it's first slice and viceversa.

With recent changes, support for decoding multi-slice frames can be
easily added now.

Signal VPU if current slice is first in frame or not and add information
about first macroblock coordinates.

[PATCH 7/8] media: cedrus: Add support for holding capture buffer

[Jernej Skrabec]

When frame contains multiple slices and driver works in slice mode, it's
more efficient to hold capture buffer in queue until all slices of a
same frame are decoded.

Add support for that to Cedrus driver by exposing and implementing
V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF capability.

Can't we use slice->first_mb_in_slice to determine if a slice is the
first? I'd expect ->first_mb_in_slice to be 0 (unless we decide to
support ASO).

I'm not sure if that is always the case, I would have to check the standard. 
Anyway, this method of comparing timestamps was suggested to me a while ago 
when we were discussing details on a way forward for multi-slice decoding. I 
highly doubt someone would decode slices in mixed order (from different frames) 
in same instance.

I can change that in next version if ->first_mb_in_slice == 0 is always true 
for the first slice.

Not directly related to this patch, but it seems most drivers
implementing ->vdioc_decoder_cmd() call ->vidioc_try_decoder_cmd()
internally to make sure the cmd is supported. Maybe something
we could automate at the v4l2-ioctl.c level.

You need to add this line here as well:

	dc->flags = 0;

As per the decoder_cmd spec.

... since you can use fh->m2m_ctx directly.

Both these functions should be moved to v4l2-mem2mem.c and renamed to
v4l2_m2m_ioctl_stateless_(try_)decoder_cmd.

As far as I can see they are completely generic and valid for any
stateless decoder. Which is very nice :-)

This isn't quite right: this flag should only be set for formats that support
slicing. So cedrus_s_fmt_vid_out() should set this for H264, but clear it for
MPEG2.

Looking at the cedrus code it seems that it does not set an initial default output
format after opening the video device. This seems wrong to me. If it did set a
default output format, then src_vq->subsystem_flags should set this flag corresponding
to the default output format.

I looked in all VPU documentation available to me (which isn't much) and there 
is no indication if ASO is supported or not. Do you have any sample video with 
out-of-order slices? It's my understanding that this is uncommon. If it's 
supported, I would leave code as-is.

I'm not entirely sure, but my understanding was that it might be used
when streaming over network where some packets might be lost and
re-emitted later on.

I remember seeing the ASO acronym mentioned in the hantro G1 spec, but
at the same time we're doing frame-based decoding, so I guess the HW
block expects slices to be ordered in that case. Honestly I don't know,
so let's keep the code as-is.

This is almost correct. To handle the corner case where no timestamp
was ever copied to run.dst->vb2_buf you need this check:

	run.first_slice = !run.dst->vb2_buf.copied_timestamp ||
		run.src->vb2_buf.timestamp != run.dst->vb2_buf.timestamp;

Just for safety, can we also specify that it is valid to call this
command even if no buffer was held (in which case it is a no-op), as
this can help make user-space code simpler?

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder.

Jernej, when you post the next version of this series, can you change the text
above to:

- Flush any held capture buffers. Only valid for stateless decoders.
  This command is typically used when the application reached the
  end of the stream and the last output buffer had the
  ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag set. This would prevent
  dequeueing the capture buffer containing the last decoded frame.
  So this command can be used to explicitly flush that final decoded
  frame. This command does nothing if there are no held capture buffers.

Regards,

	Hans

We had an ASO interrupt when we tried to do slice decoding rather then
frame. I believe on Hantro, the way to do ASO is to actually re-order
in software.

ASO is a feature of baseline profile use to reduce latency. As an
example, VA-API does not support baseline profile (only constrained-
baseline, which excludes ASO).
