Many USB -cameras include microphones, video capture hardware can also output -video, or SoC camera interfaces also perform memory-to-memory operations -similar to video codecs. - -Independent functions, even when implemented in the same hardware, can -be modelled as separate devices. A USB camera with a microphone will be -presented to userspace applications as V4L2 and ALSA capture devices. -The devices' relationships (when using a webcam, end-users shouldn't -have to manually select the associated USB microphone), while not made -available directly to applications by the drivers, can usually be -retrieved from sysfs. - -With more and more advanced SoC devices being introduced, the current -approach will not scale. Device topologies are getting increasingly -complex and can't always be represented by a tree structure. Hardware -blocks are shared between different functions, creating dependencies -between seemingly unrelated devices. - -Kernel abstraction APIs such as V4L2 and ALSA provide means for -applications to access hardware parameters. As newer hardware expose an -increasingly high number of those parameters, drivers need to guess what -applications really require based on limited information, thereby -implementing policies that belong to userspace. - -The media controller API aims at solving those problems. diff --git a/Documentation/media/uapi/mediactl/media-controller-model.rst b/Documentation/media/uapi/mediactl/media-controller-model.rst deleted file mode 100644 index b6d5902b556d..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/media/uapi/mediactl/media-controller-model.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,42 +0,0 @@ -..

To achieve this, -hardware devices and Linux Kernel interfaces are modelled as graph -objects on an oriented graph. The object types that constitute the graph -are: - -- An **entity** is a basic media hardware or software building block. - It can correspond to a large variety of logical blocks such as - physical hardware devices (CMOS sensor for instance), logical - hardware devices (a building block in a System-on-Chip image - processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical connectors. - -- An **interface** is a graph representation of a Linux Kernel - userspace API interface, like a device node or a sysfs file that - controls one or more entities in the graph. - -- A **pad** is a data connection endpoint through which an entity can - interact with other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced - by an entity flows from the entity's output to one or more entity - inputs. Pads should not be confused with physical pins at chip - boundaries. - -- A **data link** is a point-to-point oriented connection between two - pads, either on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows - from a source pad to a sink pad. - -- An **interface link** is a point-to-point bidirectional control - connection between a Linux Kernel interface and an entity. diff --git a/Documentation/media/uapi/mediactl/media-controller.rst b/Documentation/media/uapi/mediactl/media-controller.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 6e624f690331..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/media/uapi/mediactl/media-controller.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,62 +0,0 @@ -..

TODO: replace it to GPL-2.0 OR GFDL-1.1-or-later WITH no-invariant-sections - -.. _media-request-api: - -Request API -=========== - -The Request API has been designed to allow V4L2 to deal with requirements of -modern devices (stateless codecs, complex camera pipelines, ...) and APIs -(Android Codec v2). One such requirement is the ability for devices belonging to -the same pipeline to reconfigure and collaborate closely on a per-frame basis. -Another is support of stateless codecs, which require controls to be applied -to specific frames (aka 'per-frame controls') in order to be used efficiently. - -While the initial use-case was V4L2, it can be extended to other subsystems -as well, as long as they use the media controller. - -Supporting these features without the Request API is not always possible and if -it is, it is terribly inefficient: user-space would have to flush all activity -on the media pipeline, reconfigure it for the next frame, queue the buffers to -be processed with that configuration, and wait until they are all available for -dequeuing before considering the next frame. This defeats the purpose of having -buffer queues since in practice only one buffer would be queued at a time. - -The Request API allows a specific configuration of the pipeline (media -controller topology + configuration for each media entity) to be associated with -specific buffers. This allows user-space to schedule several tasks ("requests") -with different configurations in advance, knowing that the configuration will be -applied when needed to get the expected result. Configuration values at the time -of request completion are also available for reading. - -General Usage -------------- - -The Request API extends the Media Controller API and cooperates with -subsystem-specific APIs to support request usage. At the Media Controller -level, requests are allocated from the supporting Media Controller device -node. Their life cycle is then managed through the request file descriptors in -an opaque way. Configuration data, buffer handles and processing results -stored in requests are accessed through subsystem-specific APIs extended for -request support, such as V4L2 APIs that take an explicit ``request_fd`` -parameter. - -Request Allocation ------------------- - -User-space allocates requests using :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC` -for the media device node. This returns a file descriptor representing the -request. Typically, several such requests will be allocated. - -Request Preparation -------------------- - -Standard V4L2 ioctls can then receive a request file descriptor to express the -fact that the ioctl is part of said request, and is not to be applied -immediately. See :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC` for a list of ioctls that -support this. Configurations set with a ``request_fd`` parameter are stored -instead of being immediately applied, and buffers queued to a request do not -enter the regular buffer queue until the request itself is queued. - -Request Submission ------------------- - -Once the configuration and buffers of the request are specified, it can be -queued by calling :ref:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` on the request file descriptor. -A request must contain at least one buffer, otherwise ``ENOENT`` is returned. -A queued request cannot be modified anymore. - -.. caution:: - For :ref:`memory-to-memory devices <mem2mem>` you can use requests only for - output buffers, not for capture buffers. Attempting to add a capture buffer - to a request will result in an ``EBADR`` error. - -If the request contains configurations for multiple entities, individual drivers -may synchronize so the requested pipeline's topology is applied before the -buffers are processed. Media controller drivers do a best effort implementation -since perfect atomicity may not be possible due to hardware limitations. - -.. caution:: - - It is not allowed to mix queuing requests with directly queuing buffers: - whichever method is used first locks this in place until - :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>` is called or the device is - :ref:`closed <func-close>`. Attempts to directly queue a buffer when earlier - a buffer was queued via a request or vice versa will result in an ``EBUSY`` - error. - -Controls can still be set without a request and are applied immediately, -regardless of whether a request is in use or not. - -.. caution:: - - Setting the same control through a request and also directly can lead to - undefined behavior! - -User-space can :ref:`poll() <request-func-poll>` a request file descriptor in -order to wait until the request completes. A request is considered complete -once all its associated buffers are available for dequeuing and all the -associated controls have been updated with the values at the time of completion. -Note that user-space does not need to wait for the request to complete to -dequeue its buffers: buffers that are available halfway through a request can -be dequeued independently of the request's state. - -A completed request contains the state of the device after the request was -executed. User-space can query that state by calling -:ref:`ioctl VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` with the request file -descriptor. Calling :ref:`ioctl VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` for a -request that has been queued but not yet completed will return ``EBUSY`` -since the control values might be changed at any time by the driver while the -request is in flight. - -.. _media-request-life-time: - -Recycling and Destruction -------------------------- - -Finally, a completed request can either be discarded or be reused. Calling -:ref:`close() <request-func-close>` on a request file descriptor will make -that file descriptor unusable and the request will be freed once it is no -longer in use by the kernel. That is, if the request is queued and then the -file descriptor is closed, then it won't be freed until the driver completed -the request. - -The :ref:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT` will clear a request's state and make it -available again. No state is retained by this operation: the request is as -if it had just been allocated. - -Example for a Codec Device --------------------------- - -For use-cases such as :ref:`codecs <mem2mem>`, the request API can be used -to associate specific controls to -be applied by the driver for the OUTPUT buffer, allowing user-space -to queue many such buffers in advance. It can also take advantage of requests' -ability to capture the state of controls when the request completes to read back -information that may be subject to change. - -Put into code, after obtaining a request, user-space can assign controls and one -OUTPUT buffer to it: - -.. code-block:: c - - struct v4l2_buffer buf; - struct v4l2_ext_controls ctrls; - int req_fd; - ... - if (ioctl(media_fd, MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC, &req_fd)) - return errno; - ... - ctrls.which = V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL; - ctrls.request_fd = req_fd; - if (ioctl(codec_fd, VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS, &ctrls)) - return errno; - ... - buf.type = V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT; - buf.flags |= V4L2_BUF_FLAG_REQUEST_FD; - buf.request_fd = req_fd; - if (ioctl(codec_fd, VIDIOC_QBUF, &buf)) - return errno; - -Note that it is not allowed to use the Request API for CAPTURE buffers -since there are no per-frame settings to report there. - -Once the request is fully prepared, it can be queued to the driver: - -.. code-block:: c - - if (ioctl(req_fd, MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE)) - return errno; - -User-space can then either wait for the request to complete by calling poll() on -its file descriptor, or start dequeuing CAPTURE buffers.
