[PATCH v16 0/8] Add DELETE_BUF ioctl

From: Benjamin Gaignard
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 04:08:52 EST


Unlike when resolution change on keyframes, dynamic resolution change
on inter frames doesn't allow to do a stream off/on sequence because
it is need to keep all previous references alive to decode inter frames.
This constraint have two main problems:
- more memory consumption.
- more buffers in use.
To solve these issue this series introduce DELETE_BUFS ioctl and remove
the 32 buffers limit per queue.

VP9 conformance tests using fluster give a score of 210/305.
The 23 of the 24 resize inter tests (vp90-2-21-resize_inter_* files) are ok
but require to use postprocessor.

Kernel branch is available here:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/benjamin.gaignard/for-upstream/-/commits/remove_vb2_queue_limit_v16

GStreamer branch to use DELETE_BUF ioctl and testing dynamic resolution
change is here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/benjamin.gaignard1/gstreamer/-/commits/VP9_drc

changes in version 16:
- The 50 patches related to add helpers for queue num_bufefrs have already been merged.
- 'min_queued_buffers' patch has been merged too.
- Add 'min_reqbufs_allocation' field in vb2_queue structure.
- Take care of 'min_queued_buffers' when deleting buffers
- Add more check about buffers range limit when deleting buffers.

changes in version 15:
- Check that PLANE_INDEX_BITS value match with VIDEO_MAX_PLANES.
- Add a check on vb->vb2_queue in vb2_queue_add_buffer()
- Fix the remarks done by Hans, Thomasz and Andrzej. Thanks for the time
they spend (again) on the review.

changes in version 14:
- Add max_num_buffers fields in v4l2_create_buffers32 structure and copy
it from/to user data.
- Fix patch 44 commit header.
- Fix v4l_print_create_buffers() log.
