+VIDIOC_DELETE_BUF - Delete a buffer from a queue
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_DELETE_BUF
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_DELETE_BUF, struct v4l2_buffer *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_buffer`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Applications can optionally call the
:ref:`VIDIOC_DELETE_BUF` ioctl to
+delete a buffer from a queue.
+
+The struct :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` structure is specified in
+:ref:`buffer`.
+
+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.
+
+EBUSY
+ File I/O is in progress.
+
+EINVAL
+ The buffer ``index`` doesn't exist in the queue.

I know the driver could implement its own
v4l2_ioctl_ops->vidioc_delete_buf() that check whether a buffer is
used by the hardware as a future reference frame.
But I think we need a flag to let the user know which buffer is still
used by the hardware.
Alternative ref case is safe, we only know it's existing when it is
dequeued in current V4L2 buffer mechanism.
While the Golden reference frame, such long term reference frame could
last much longer.
It is up to userland stack to know frames life time, it got the
information for that.
That is true for the stateless codec driver.

While application for stateful decoder could never do that. It also
breaks what the document said:

"The backing memory of |CAPTURE| buffers that are used as reference
frames by the stream may be read by the hardware even after they are
dequeued. Consequently, the client should avoid writing into this memory
while the |CAPTURE| queue is streaming. Failure to observe this may
result in corruption of decoded frames."

+ if (vb->planes[0].mem_priv)
+ call_void_vb_qop(vb, buf_cleanup, vb);
+
+ /* Free MMAP buffers or release USERPTR buffers */
+ if (q->memory == VB2_MEMORY_MMAP)
+ __vb2_buf_mem_free(vb);
Here is another problem for the existing application, the mmap() from the
mmap offset or exportbuffer fd would not create a reference to buffer in
this step(while the exportbuffer would create one itself).

When you delete a buffer, you may not release it from its virtual memory
space, leaving a corrupted virtual memory space.
What do you mean? __vb2_buf_mem_free() doesn't unconditionally free the
memory, it just decrements a reference counter.

struct dma_buf_ops->mmap() may not increase a reference to its buffer.

While struct vb2_mem_ops->get_dmabuf() would.

The VMA holds its own,
so the buffer is only fully released when the application calls
munmap().

DELETE_BUF ioctl() didn't answer to this problem. Should the DELETE_BUF ioctl() make the no other user could access to this.


Best regards,
Tomasz

Also this behavior is
right, because mmap(2) says:

"After the mmap() call has returned, the file descriptor, fd, can be
closed immediately without invalidating the map‐ping."
