Hello,

This is v5 of the Extended API for formats and buffers, which introduces
the following new ioctls:

int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT, struct v4l2_ext_pix_format *argp)
int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_S_EXT_PIX_FMT, struct v4l2_ext_pix_format *argp)
int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_PIX_FMT, struct v4l2_ext_pix_format *argp)

int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_EXT_CREATE_BUFS, struct v4l2_ext_create_buffers *argp)
int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_EXT_QUERYBUF, struct v4l2_ext_buffer *argp)
int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_EXT_QBUF, struct v4l2_ext_buffer *argp)
int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_EXT_DQBUF, struct v4l2_ext_buffer *argp)
int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_EXT_PREPARE_BUF, struct v4l2_ext_buffer *argp)

Please check v4 cover letter specific topic past discussions
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/cover/20200717115435.2632623-1-helen.koike@collabora.com/

Documentation
=============
I added a first version of the documentation.
I would appreciate some tips in how to organize this better, since there are
several parts of the docs which reference the "old" API, and for now
I just added a note pointing to the Extended API.

Instead of duplicating documentation from the code to the Docs (as used by
most part of v4l2 documentation), I just added a reference to let Sphinx get
the structs documentation from the code, so we can avoid duplicating.

For reviewing convenience, I uploaded the generated html docs at
https://people.collabora.com/~koike/ext-doc-v5/userspace-api/media/v4l/ext-api.html

There is room for improvements, it would be great to get your suggestions.

uAPI
====
This version have some minor changes in the uAPI structs, highlight to the
mem_offset that was returned to struct v4l2_ext_plane, memory field that now
is per plane, and some adjustments in field sizes and re-ordering to make
structs the same for 32 and 64 bits (which I verified with pahole tool).

I also updated v4l2-compliance:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/koike/v4l-utils/-/tree/ext-api/wip

We need to decide the size of the reserved fields left, how much reserved
fields do you think we should leave for each struct?

What is next
============
I would like to improve implementation (for the kernel and v4l2-compliane) and
drop the RFC tag for next version, so please review the uAPI.


List of changes in v5:
======================
* first version of Documentation
* migrate memory from v4l2_ext_buffer to v4l2_ext_plane
* return mem_offset to struct v4l2_ext_plane
* change sizes and reorder fields to avoid holes in the struct and make it
  the same for 32 and 64 bits
* removed __attribute__ ((packed)) from uapi structs
* set request_fd to signed
* add documentation
* updated some commit messages

We discussed this on v4 https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/cover/20200717115435.2632623-1-helen.koike@collabora.com/

The idea is to replace V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PREMUL_ALPHA by a modifier, and this API
won't need CSC, since the colorspace fields are read-write.

Is it expected to allow the new ioctls for drivers which implement the old
vid_out_overlay callbacks?

This is going to print 8 lines every time. Maybe we could skip 0-sized

Do we need the explicit check for e->modifier != 0 if we have to check for
the 2 specific values below anyway?

Why is this incorrect?

Again this seems to be different from what we discussed before. In the ext
API, the planes would mean color planes and would be all filled in with the
right values. So for this conversion, if !mplane cap, then we should check
if bytesperline of planes >= 1 match the format definition and use the sum
of all planes sizeimage as the sizeimage of the legacy struct.

See above for how these two should be filled in.

This is similar to the above, but the behavior depends on whether the
pixelformat is an M or non-M variant.

In other functions "ef" is used for the extended format. Let's make it
consistent.

Would it make sense to print something like video node name and/or function
name to explain where this warning comes from?

This doesn't look right. In the ext API we expected the planes to describe
color planes, which means that bytesperline needs to be computed for planes
>= 1 and sizeimage replaced with per-plane sizes, according to the

>pixelformat.

Same here. A blind copy is not enough. For non-M formats, the plane
parameters need to be filled according to the pixelformat.

nit: Maybe v4l2_ext_plane_pix_format, since the struct describes an
ext variant of a plane_pix_format?

v4l2_plane_pix_format, except actually having less reserved space. Could it
make sense to just reuse the existing struct?

We don't, since DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR is zero.

But I wanted to make it explicit we don't support modifiers in this conversion.
But I can remove this check, no problem.

!sizeimage for the first plane means that there are no planes in ef.
strict is true if the result for the conversion should be returned to userspace
and it is not some internal handling.

So if there are no planes, we would return an incomplete v4l2_format struct
to userspace.

But this is not very clear, I'll improve this for the next version.

Agreed, I'll update for next version.

I would need to update the function to receive this information, I can try but

Ack.

Just to be clear, even if we are using a planar format that isn't a V4L2_PIX_FMT_*M
variant, we should describe every plane separatly.

For instance, if V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420 is being used, then f->fmt.pix.bytesperline
will have data, and we need to calculate bytesperline for all 3 planes, so we'll fill
out:

f->plane_fmt[0].bytesperline = f->fmt.pix.bytesperline;
f->plane_fmt[1].bytesperline = f->fmt.pix.bytesperline / hdiv;
f->plane_fmt[2].bytesperline = f->fmt.pix.bytesperline / hdiv;

I'll update this for the next version.

Right, following the idea above, we need a different handling if we
aren't using a M-variant of the pixelformat, and we also need to
convert the pixelformat from the M-variant to non-M-variant.

I'll also need to save that the original format was a
M-variant or not, so I can convert it back as expected.

I'll change this and submit for review.

So I can see 2 cases here:

1) Userspace gives ext struct and driver accepts legacy.

In this case, the kernel needs to adjust the structure to be correct.
-EINVAL is only valid if

"The struct v4l2_format type field is invalid or the requested buffer type not supported."

as per the current uAPI documentation.

2) Driver gives ext struct and userspace accepts legacy.

If at this point we get a struct with no planes, that sounds like a
driver bug, so rather than signaling -EINVAL to the userspace, we should
probably WARN()?

Or am I getting something wrong? :)

Yes. This basically gives us a unified representation across all
pixelformats and allows userspace to handle them in a uniform way, as
opposed to current uAPI.

I'm still reading the rest of the series, so it might be answered
already, but did we decide to do anything about the pixelformat codes
themselves? If both M and non-M variants would be allowed with the new
API, then I guess there isn't anything to save, because the original
format would be preserved?

Right, I already updated this in my wip branch for next version.

I was working with the idea that M-variants wouldn't be allowed.
But then, we have cases where non-M-variant don't exist, such as:

V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU422M
V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU444M

(at least, I couldn't find non-M-variant equivalent for those)

But actually, I don't think we formally decided this (and it seems
easier to implement if both are allowed).

Should we allow both variants in the Ext API ?

Just a correction, here I meant s/single-planar/non-M-variant.
But this is under discussion, see patch 1/7.

This is wrong too.
Or we don't use the M-variant, or we say both variants are valid and equivalent.
This is under discussion, see patch 1/7.

I'll update in the next version.

> +Description

> +===========

> +

> +Applications call the ``VIDIOC_EXT_QBUF`` ioctl to enqueue an empty

> +(capturing) or filled (output) buffer in the driver's incoming queue.

> +The semantics depend on the selected I/O method.

> +

> +To enqueue a buffer applications set the ``type`` field of a struct

> +:c:type:`v4l2_ext_buffer` to the same buffer type as was

> +previously used with struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_pix_format` ``type``.

> +Applications must also set the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers

> +range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with

> +:ref:`VIDIOC_EXT_CREATE_BUFS` (struct

> +:c:type:`v4l2_ext_create_buffers` ``count``) minus

> +one. The contents of the struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_buffer` returned

> +by a :ref:`VIDIOC_EXT_QUERYBUF` ioctl will do as well.

> +When the buffer is intended for output (``type`` is

> +``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT``) applications must also initialize the

> +``timestamp`` fields and the ``planes[i].plane_length`` for each valid plane,

> +and invalid ones must be set as zero.

> +see :ref:`buffer` for details. Applications must also set ``flags`` to 0. The

> +``reserved`` field must be set to 0.

> +

> +To enqueue a :ref:`memory mapped <mmap>` buffer applications set the

> +``planes[i].memory`` field to ``V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP`` in all the valid planes,

> +and invalid ones must be set as zero.

> +When ``VIDIOC_EXT_QBUF`` is called

> +with a pointer to this structure the driver sets the

> +``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED`` and ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED`` flags and clears

> +the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE`` flag in the ``flags`` field, or it returns an

> +``EINVAL`` error code.

> +

> +To enqueue a :ref:`user pointer <userp>` buffer applications set the

> +``planes[i].memory`` field to ``V4L2_MEMORY_USERPTR`` in all the valid planes,

> +and invalid ones must be set as zero, the ``planes[i].m.userptr`` field to the

> +address of the buffer,``planes[i].buffer_length`` to the size of the memory

> +buffer, ``planes[i].plane_length`` to the size that should be used by the plane,

> +and ``planes[i].offset`` of the plane in the memory buffer.

> +

> +When ``VIDIOC_EXT_QBUF`` is called with a pointer to this structure

> +the driver sets the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED`` flag and clears the

> +``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED`` and ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE`` flags in the

> +``flags`` field, or it returns an error code. This ioctl locks the

> +memory pages of the buffer in physical memory, they cannot be swapped

> +out to disk. Buffers remain locked until dequeued, until the

> +:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>` or

> +:ref:`VIDIOC_EXT_CREATE_BUFS` ioctl is called, or until the

> +device is closed.

> +

> +To enqueue a :ref:`DMABUF <dmabuf>` buffer applications set the

> +``planes[i].memory`` field to ``V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF`` in all the valid planes,

> +and invalid ones must be set as zero, the ``planes[i].m.fd`` field to a

> +file descriptor associated with a DMABUF buffer.,``planes[i].buffer_length`` to

> +the size of the memory buffer, ``planes[i].plane_length`` to the size that

> +should be used by the plane, and ``planes[i].offset`` of the plane in the memory buffer.

> +When ``VIDIOC_EXT_QBUF`` is called with a pointer to this structure the driver

> +sets the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED`` flag and clears the

> +``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED`` and ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE`` flags in the

> +``flags`` field, or it returns an error code. This ioctl locks the

> +buffer. Locking a buffer means passing it to a driver for a hardware

> +access (usually DMA). If an application accesses (reads/writes) a locked

> +buffer then the result is undefined. Buffers remain locked until

> +dequeued, until the :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>` or

> +:ref:`VIDIOC_EXT_CREATE_BUFS` ioctl is called, or until the

> +device is closed.

> +

> +The ``request_fd`` field can be used with the ``VIDIOC_EXT_QBUF`` ioctl to specify

> +the file descriptor of a :ref:`request <media-request-api>`, if requests are

> +in use. Setting it means that the buffer will not be passed to the driver

> +until the request itself is queued. Also, the driver will apply any

> +settings associated with the request for this buffer. This field will

> +be ignored unless the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_REQUEST_FD`` flag is set.

> +If the device does not support requests, then ``EBADR`` will be returned.

> +If requests are supported but an invalid request file descriptor is given,

> +then ``EINVAL`` will be returned.

> +

> +.. caution::

> +   It is not allowed to mix queuing requests with queuing buffers directly.

> +   ``EBUSY`` will be returned if the first buffer was queued directly and

> +   then the application tries to queue a request, or vice versa. After

> +   closing the file descriptor, calling

> +a struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_buffer` as above, when

> +``VIDIOC_EXT_DQBUF`` is called with a pointer to this structure the driver

> +fills the remaining fields or returns an error code. The driver may also

> +set ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR`` in the ``flags`` field. It indicates a

> +may continue as normal, but should be aware that data in the dequeued

> +buffer might be corrupted. When using the multi-planar API, the planes

> +array must be passed in as well.

> +

> +If the application sets the ``memory`` field to ``V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF`` to

> +when the buffer was enqueued. No new file descriptor is created at dequeue time

> +and the value is only for the application convenience.

> +Description

> +===========

> +

> +This ioctl is part of the :ref:`streaming <mmap>` I/O method. It can

> +be used to query the status of a buffer at any time after buffers have

> +been allocated with the :ref:`VIDIOC_EXT_CREATE_BUFS` ioctl.

> +

> +Applications set the ``type`` field of a struct

> +:c:type:`v4l2_ext_buffer` to the same buffer type as was

> +previously used with struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_pix_format` ``type``,

> +and the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers range from zero to the

> +number of buffers allocated with

> +:ref:`VIDIOC_EXT_CREATE_BUFS` (struct

> +:c:type:`v4l2_ext_create_buffers` ``count``) minus

> +one. The ``reserved`` field must be set to 0.

> +

> +In the ``flags`` field the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED``,

> +``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED``, ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED`` and

> +``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE`` flags will be valid. The ``planes.memory`` fields will be

> +set to the current I/O method for each plane.

> +

> +For every valid plane, an entry in ``planes`` will be filled, and zeroed for

> +invalid ones. ``planes[i].buffer_length`` is the size of the memory buffer

> +which contains the plane, ``planes[i].plane_length`` is the length of the plane,

> +and ``planes[i].offset` is where the plane is placed in the memory buffer.

> +

> +The size of the ``planes`` array can be calculated by the number of sequential

> +planes with ``planes[i].buffer_length`` that differs from zero up to the max

> +size of the array.

I see 3 options:

1) Ext API doesn't accept M-variants and return -EINVAL.

    But this doesn't seem to be the v4l2 way, where we avoid returning
    errors and try to adjust to what we think it is better.

    At the same time, this could allow us, in a very remote hypothetical
    future situation, to remove the M-variants from the kernel when/if
    the old API gets obsolete.

    Future ENUM_EXT_FMT won't enumerate M-variants in this option.

2) Ext API accept M-variants without normalization.

    The driver can receive both variants, and need to handle both as
    equivalents, i.e. if (V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M || V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420)

    Both can be returned to userspace.

    Future ENUM_EXT_FMT can enumerate M-variants in this option.

3) Ext API accept M-variants with normalization.

    If userspace uses V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M, the framework converts
    to V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420 before passing it to the driver.

    Only V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420 is sent back to userspace (even if userspace
    used the M variant, the kernel normalizes it, which is a similar behavior
    when userspace try to use a non-supported resolution and the kernel
    adjusts it).

    (we could also leave this pixelformat normalization to the driver,
    but I don't see a reason to that)

    Future ENUM_EXT_FMT won't enumerate M-variants in this option.



I'm leaning towards option 3, please let me know your thoughts.

Would rephrasing this as below making a bit more definitive?

	For modern applications, these operations are replaced by their
	:ref:`ext_api` counterparts, which should be used instead.

How about simplifying this paragraph a bit:

The Extended Format API unifies single- and multi- planar format handling
and provides a base for further functional extensions, such as format
modifiers, arbitrary plane offsets, colorspace configuration.

nit: "we will" or maybe even just "we mention only the main differences".

Some formats have only multi-planar variants, like NV12MT. What should we
do about them? Since we have to keep those defines to support the legacy
API anyway, maybe we can just accept both variants and treat them equally?

I think this might not be entirely accurate. One can call
VIDIOC_EXT_CREATE_BUFS multiple times. Moreover, I don't think we've

Does offset make sense here if an arbitrary pointer can be given for the

Honestly, I don't like this aspect of the current API. It kind of implies
that the value returned is valid, but the file descriptor might have been
already closed. Could we just remove this and explicitly state that for
DMA-buf, it is the user space responsibility to track the mapping between
V4L2 indexes and its own buffer objects?

What is the length of the plane here? It seems like depending on the
context, the field can mean size of the payload (for filled buffer) or
total space for the payload (for empty buffer), which is a bit confusing.

Not sure if it's just me, but "size of array" sounds to me like the
total memory size of the array, i.e. the max number of elements, which
is fixed for this struct. How about

  "The entries of the planes array are valid up to the last entry with
  non-zero buffer_length or the last entry of the array, whichever is
  first."

Could we make this mandatory to avoid ambiguities in the API? In
general, most drivers implemented it anyway, without much added
complexity, because one can then simplify S_FMT to TRY_FMT + state
update.

You can't say that, since especially in the beginning userspace will be running
on older kernels that do not support this.

This will work: "should be used instead, if supported by the driver."

Helen mentioned that as well in a reply to patch 1/7. I'll have a think about
that myself and reply to that post because this is a good question.

>> +Description

>> +===========

>> +

>> +This ioctl is used to create buffers for :ref:`memory mapped <mmap>`

>> +or :ref:`user pointer <userp>` or :ref:`DMA buffer <dmabuf>` I/O.

>> +This ioctl can be called multiple times to

>> +create buffers of different sizes.

>> +

>> +To allocate the device buffers applications must initialize the relevant

>> +``count`` field must be set to the number of requested buffers, the

>> +array must be zeroed.

>> +

>> +The ``format`` field specifies the image format that the buffers must be

>> +:c:type:`v4l2_format`. Usually this will be done using the

>> +:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` or

>> +:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` ioctls to ensure that the

>> +requested format is supported by the driver.

>> +The driver may return an error if the size(s) are not supported by the

>> +hardware (usually because they are too small).

>> +

>> +The driver can create a memory buffer per plane, or a single memory buffer

>> +containing all the planes, with a minimum size according to the size

>> +defined by the ``format.plane_fmt[i].sizeimage`` field.

>> +Usually if the ``format.plane_fmt[i].sizeimage``

>> +field is less than the minimum required for the given format, then an

>> +error will be returned since drivers will typically not allow this. If

>> +it is larger, then the value will be used as-is. In other words, the

>> +driver may reject the requested size, but if it is accepted the driver

>> +will use it unchanged.

>> +

>> +When the ioctl is called with a pointer to this structure the driver

>> +will attempt to allocate up to the requested number of buffers and store

>> +the actual number allocated and the starting index in the ``count`` and

>> +the ``index`` fields respectively. On return ``count`` can be smaller

Drop the last sentence, -EIO should never be used for temporary problems like
that. EIO really means that the DMA engine crashed and userspace will have to call
STREAMOFF and try to restart the DMA with STREAMON.

No, V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR is really needed. Some hardware can really have
intermittent failures causing video frames to be corrupt. And yes, that's
typically due to hardware bugs. It usually either happens when you start
streaming or just intermittent, but it is not severe enough to stop streaming
completely (that's the -EIO error due to a call to vb2_queue_error).

It's also used when you stop streaming and pending buffers are returned to
userspace. They are marked as ERROR since they don't contain any video, or
only partial video (if the DMA was stopped midway a frame).

Ideally we would also fix the ambiguous situation regarding TRY/S_FMT
and unsupported pixelformats: some drivers will replace unsupported
pixelformats with a valid pixelformat, others will return an error.

v4l2-compliance warns about drivers that return an error and point to
this very old thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg56550.html

However, I'm not really sure if we can resolve this ambiguity. I believe
that it is only older webcam drivers that return an error.

With the wrappers that the patches provide, all drivers would support
the new API, so this boils down to the kernel version only, not
specific drivers.

Agreed, though, that application developers must be made aware that
the new API is only available in new kernels and old API must be used
for compatibility with old kernels.

I briefly read through it and I don't see what the conclusion was.
Generally I'd still prefer if the need to manually specify the buffer
size was eliminated, because that imposes unnecessary burden on the
userspace for the majority of cases. It could still remain valid for
userspace that wants to restrict the buffer size as it was mentioned
in that thread, though.

I suspect the users of the new API wouldn't actually have to deal with
a signal loss, but if not, what should be the behavior then?

Sorry, I meant to insert that comment below the first half. The second

I guess we can at least enforce a specific behavior in the new API,
before we get compatibility obligations. :)

Is the conversion layer fully independent of vb2? We still have older
drivers that do not use vb2, and I'm not sure if the extended buffer
operations work with those drivers as well. (Sorry, it's been a while
since I last looked at this series, so I can't remember).

That's really the open issue: if userspace sets length to 0, then it should
always be replaced by the dmabuf size, that's a no-brainer. But if it is non-zero,
what do you do then? Your input would be appreciated.

The typical behavior is to send out the SOURCE_CHANGE event and stall streaming,
waiting for a valid signal.

That said, this is something I will dig into a bit deeper for the tegra HDMI
support patch series next week, since this might be hard to do for that hardware.

But regardless of what is chosen for signal loss, EIO is wrong. Return values
as are documented for VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS would be much more appropriate for this.

I'm fixing the format and buffer conversions to separate planes per color
component as pointed by Tomasz.
It turns out this it a bit more complicated and will require changes in vb2
driver ops interface.

I want to share my approach in case you see that I'm missing something while
I'm implementing it, or if I'm making wrong assumptions. So I wrote different
scenarios below. Please check, specially the NOTEs in the scenarios.

Thanks!

----------------------------------------

Considerations:
* Multiplanar API vs Singleplanar API.
* M-variant vs non-M-variant,
* data_offset is only available in Multiplanar API, not in single planar.
* Single buffer: contiguous planes or not.
* Memory buffers vs color components (planes)
* Planes with offsets or not.

NOTE: I'm assuming that multiplanar and singleplanar capabilities are mutually exclusive,
      i.e. if a driver reports V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE then it won't report
      V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE, which means that only multiplanar API is valid,
      and if V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE is reported, then _MPLANE isn't and only singleplanar
      API is valid and supported by the driver.

NOTE: I'm assuming both non-M-variants and M-variants are acceptable and
      equivalent for the Ext API.
      If we have two pixelformats that are equivalent, then we chose one to be the
      normalized format.

NOTE: Just for the sake of the examples below, I'm assuming that all M-variants have
      non-M-variants (which I'm considering that will be the normalized form), but
      I'm not doing this assumption in the code and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

===========================================
A: Scenarios where:
	userspace -> implements clasic API
	driver -> implements ext API
-------------------------------------------

QUESTION: if we want a ext_reqbuf, then queue_setup() (or a ext_queue_setup)
	  should return a buffer per plane? Or a buffer for all planes? Which
	  method should be favored? Also, see NOTE A-1.3.
	  Another option is: ext_reqbufs won't be supported, and leave to userspace
	  to decide this in ext_create_bufs.
	  For the examples below, I'm assuming reqbuf isn't supported

Case A-1: Single planar API
- I'm assuming that M-variants pixelformats are invalid
- I'm assuming the driver report in its capabilities only V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE/OUTPUT/M2M,
  and not the MPLANE equivalent.

	FORMATS:
	1. framework receives v4l2_format
	2. framework converts to v4l2_ext_pix_format, separating color components
	   per plane, in the best effort way (without returning errors).
	3. v4l2_ext_pix_format gets processed
	4. framework converts back to v4l2_format and sent to userspace.

	CREATE BUFFER:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_buffer from userspace
	2. vb2 converts to v4l2_ext_buffer, dividing the buffer per color component.
	   Planes will be part of the same buffer, just in a different offset.

		NOTE A-1.1: vb2 needs to know the pixelformat and image size to
			    calculate the number of color components and plane's
			    offset for the conversion, my current solution is to
			    add another callback in vb2_ops to get the format.
			    See NOTE A-2.3.

	3. memory sizes is validated by queue_setup()
	4. vb2 converts it back to v4l2_buffer and sends to userspace

	REQ BUFFER:
	1. vb2 calls queue_setup to ask the driver about the number of memory
	   buffers in a frame buffer
	2. queue_setup() returns with a single memory buffer with contiguous planes.

		NOTE A-1.2: If the driver decides to add offset between planes, we
			    won't be able to convert back to v4l2_buffer and we
			    fail. Even if we repurpose data_offset, there is
			    no data_offset for single plane API

		NOTE A-1.3: I need to send a hint to queue_setup() to tell the
			    driver if we need a single mem-buffer for all planes
			    or a different mem-buffer per plane.
			    Or maybe implement a ext_queue_setup().

	3. v4l2_ext_buffer is created
	3. v4l2_ext_buffer is converted to v4l2_buffer and returned to userspace.

	QUEUE BUFFER:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_buffer from userspace (only index and type that matters)
	2. vb2 converts to v4l2_ext_buffer
	3. vb2_buffer is validated by .buf_prepare() and gets processed.
	4. v4l2_ext_buffer is converted to v4l2_buffer and sent to userspace.


Case A-2: Multiplanar API with non-M-variant pixelformat
- I'm assuming the driver only reports V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_*_MPLANE

	FORMATS: Same as Case A-1, just changing fields from v4l2_format to use
		 mplane API.

	CREATE BUFFER: If data-offset is zero, same as Case A-1.

		NOTE A-2.1: If data_offset isn't zero, then I return an error,
			    since we don't support it. Unless if we re-pourpose
			    the data_offset field as previously proposed.
			    But this looks non consistent with single planar,
			    see NOTE A-1.2.

	REQ BUFFER:
	1. vb2 calls queue_setup to ask the driver about the number of memory
	   buffers in a frame buffer
	2. If queue_setup() return a single mem-buffer then it is the same as
	   Case A-1.

		NOTE A-2.2: If driver returns multiple buffers, then we can't
			    convert back to clasic non-M-variant and we fail.
			    My proposed solution is adding a hint to queue_setup(),
			    see NOTE A-1.3.
			    This hint would depend if the API was multiplanar
			    or not, and if it was M-variant or not.

	QUEUE BUFFER:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_buffer from userspace (index, type and planes array are filled)
	2. vb2 converts v4l2_buffer to v4l2_ext_buffer according to the pixelformat.

		NOTE: A-2.3: to convert this properly, I thought we could use
			     buf_prepare() to get the updated information of the
			     pixelformat ans sizeimage, but .buf_prepare() is called
			     after this conversion, so we need to call v4l2_g_ext_pix_format()
			     from vb2 somehow, my current solution is to add another
			     callback in vb2_ops.

	2. vb2 gets vb2_buffer from index and fills vb2_v4l2_buffer.planes from
	   the converted v4l2_ext_buffer.
	3. vb2_buffer is validated by .buf_prepare() and gets processed.
	4. v4l2_buffer is converted back to v4l2_ext_buffer and sent to userspace.

Case A-3: Multiplanar API with M-variant pixelformat
- I'm assuming the driver only reports V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_*_MPLANE

	FORMATS:
	1. framework receives v4l2_format
	2. framework converts to v4l2_ext_pix_format, which is easier, we just
	   need to normalize the pixelformat.
	3. v4l2_ext_pix_format gets processed
	4. framework converts back to v4l2_format keeping the original and sends
	   pixelformat to userspace.

		NOTE A-3.1: I need to save the original pixelformat, so I can
			    know that I need to convert back to M-variant.

	CREATE BUFFERS:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_buffer from userspace
	2. vb2 converts to v4l2_ext_buffer, which is easier, besides complication
	   from NOTE A-1.1.
	3. vb2 validates the sizes with queue_setup()
	4. vb2 converts it back to v4l2_buffer and sends to userspace

	REQ BUFFER:
	1. vb2 calls queue_setup to ask the driver about the number of memory
	   buffers in a frame buffer
	2. If queue_setup() returns a mem buffer per component then we can continue.

		NOTE A-3.2: If driver doesn't return a different mem_buffer per
			    color component, then we can't convert back to clasic
			    M-variant and we fail, another reason to a hint in
			    queue_setup(). See NOTE A-1.3 and A-2-2.

	QUEUE BUFFER: same as Case A-2.

===========================================
B: Scenarios where:
	userspace -> implements ext API
	driver -> implements classic API
-------------------------------------------
- I'm assuming that userspace won't differentiate V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_* from V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_*_MPLANE
- I'm not handling the case where we could have the two first planes in a memory buffer
  and a third plane in another memory buffer

Case B-1: Single memory buffer with contiguous planes / driver single planar API

	FORMATS:
	1. framework receives v4l2_ext_pix_format
	2. framework converts to v4l2_format non non-M-variant pixelformat (we
	   know we need to convert o non-M-variants because of the driver's
	   capabilities)
	3. v4l2_format gets processed
	4. framework converts back to v4l2_ext_pix_format and sends to userspace.

	CREATE BUFFERS:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_ext_buffer from userspace with single mem buffer
	   and contiguous planes.
	2. vb2 converts to v4l2_buffer with a single plane
	3. v4l2_buffer is validated by queue_setup()
	4. vb2 converts back to v4l2_ext_format and sends to userspace.

Case B-2: Single memory buffer with contiguous planes / driver multi planar API

	FORMATS:
	1. framework receives v4l2_ext_pix_format
	2. framework converts to v4l2_format non non-M-variant pixelformat

		QUESTION: should we convert to M-variant instead?

	3. v4l2_format gets processed

		QUESTION: if it fails, should we convert to M-variant and re-try?

	4. framework converts back to v4l2_ext_pix_format and sent to userspace.

Case B-3: Single memory buffer with non contiguous planes

	FORMATS: same as B-1 or B-2 (if mplane API or not)

	CREATE BUFFERS:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_ext_buffer from userspace with single mem buffer
	   and non contiguous planes.
	2. we fail, since we can't convert to v4l2_buffer

Case B-3: Multi memory buffers / driver is single planar API

	FORMATS: Same as Case B-2

	CREATE BUFFERS:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_ext_buffer from userspace requesting a memory buffer
	   per plane.
	2. we fail, since driver doesn't support it

Case B-4: Multi memory buffers / driver is multi planar API

	FORMATS: Same as Case B-2

	CREATE BUFFERS:
	1. vb2 receives v4l2_ext_buffer from userspace requesting a memory buffer
	   per plane.
	2. vb2 convert v4l2_ext_buffer to v4l2_buffer using multiplanar API
	3. v4l2_buffer is validated by queue_setup()
	4. vb2 converts back to v4l2_ext_format and sends to userspace.

We decided to only support V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO* for the ext structs. Still,
existing drivers may use vb2 with the other, legacy, buf types. How would
they be handled with this change?

Do we retain this behavior in the new API? If no, I guess we need to check
if this was old or new API and react appropriately.

I guess this code was useless already, because the call below would
validate the FD, but should it be perhaps removed in a separate patch?

I'm not very happy with this macro implicitly relying on existence of some
specific variables with predefined names in the scope of the caller.

That said, I don't have a good idea on how this could be fixed, other than
just repeating this code manually in each function.

If we don't find anything better, I think at least a comment here
explaining the assumptions would make it a bit better.

The comment kind of implies that non-zero is a special case, but I wouldn't
want driver authors to come to incorrect conclusions based on that. Do we

Isn't it always v4l2_ext_buffer with current code?

Same here. I think it would make it easier to support both APIs at the
same time and also allows having M-only formats as is.

The drawback of option 3 is that it would basically carve the non-M
and M fourcc duality in stone and we couldn't clean them up even if we
eventually deprecate the old API after many years. On the other hand,
in practice we might not be able to deprecate the old API anyway, like
what happened with the current single-planar API, so maybe that's
fine? I'd like others' opinions on this.

I completly refactored this patch in my wip branch, I'll submit for comments
soon after finishing addressing the other comments.

The way I'm approaching this is to support both structures v4l2_buffer and
v4l2_ext_buffer, but only in the vb2 entry points, since all the
information we need is in vb2_buffer struct.

To implement this I had to use new hooks in the framework. I think it is easier
if you take a look in next version when I submited it.

I removed this field in next version to let drivers decide where to place the planes

I added a fill_user_ext_buffer for next version, since we need to keep both
v4l2_buffer and v4l2_ext_buffer to userspace.

The conversion layer should be independent of vb2 (please check v6, I think
it is cleaner).

I removed create_bufs for v6 for now, since it is only useful for MMAP, and if
we are going torwards a DMA-fd centric API, then this is low priority and we
can define it later. Please check v6 and let me know what you think.

You are right, it doesn't, but offset can be set to non-zero in dqueue time,
in case drivers want to skip a header in the buffer.

It is not quite the same, the flags that are set or cleared are slighly different.
The one a few lines above has V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED set, and here it is cleared.
Maybe we can show a table instead, showing which ones are set and which are
cleared, to make it easier to read.

Ack, does this apply to EXT_QBUF too? Since userspace needs to switch the memory type
in advance with reqbufs, then the kernel already knows the memory type at queue time
too.

I can set to zero, and I would do this for all memory types, not only dma, just for
consistency.
But wouldn't it be usefull if applications want to re-queue the buffer

Sounds better indeed, but I removed ext_querybuf for v6.

>>>>> +Description

>>>>> +===========

>>>>> +

>>>>> +These ioctls are used to negotiate the format of data (typically image

>>>>> +format) exchanged between driver and application.

>>>>> +

>>>>> +To query the current parameters applications set the ``type`` field of a

>>>>> +struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_pix_format` to  ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE`` or

>>>>> +``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT``, all the other types are invalid in this API,

>>>>> +and multiplanar is supported through modifiers.

>>>>> +

>>>>> +When the application calls the

>>>>> +:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` ioctl with a pointer to this

>>>>> +structure the driver fills the other members.

>>>>> +When the requested buffer type is not supported drivers return

>>>>> +an ``EINVAL`` error code.

>>>>> +

>>>>> +To change the current format parameters applications initialize all

>>>>> +the fields in the struct.

>>>>> +For details see the documentation of the various devices types in

>>>>> +:ref:`devices`. Good practice is to query the current parameters

>>>>> +first, and to modify only those parameters not suitable for the

>>>>> +application. When the application calls the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` ioctl with

>>>>> +a pointer to a struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_pix_format` structure the driver

>>>>> +checks and adjusts the parameters against hardware abilities. Drivers

>>>>> +should not return an error code unless the ``type`` field is invalid,

>>>>> +this is a mechanism to fathom device capabilities and to approach

>>>>> +parameters acceptable for both the application and driver. On success

>>>>> +the driver may program the hardware, allocate resources and generally

>>>>> +prepare for data exchange. Finally the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` ioctl returns

>>>>> +the current format parameters as :ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` does. Very simple,

>>>>> +inflexible devices may even ignore all input and always return the

>>>>> +default parameters. However all V4L2 devices exchanging data with the

>>>>> +application must implement the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>`

>>>>> +ioctl. When the requested buffer type is not supported drivers return an

>>>>> +EINVAL error code on a :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` attempt. When I/O is already in

>>>>> +progress or the resource is not available for other reasons drivers

>>>>> +return the ``EBUSY`` error code.

>>>>> +

>>>>> +The :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` ioctl is equivalent to :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_PIX_FMT <VIDIOC_G_EXT_PIX_FMT>` with one

>>>>> +exception: it does not change driver state. It can also be called at any

>>>>> +time, never returning ``EBUSY``. This function is provided to negotiate

>>>>> +parameters, to learn about hardware limitations, without disabling I/O

>>>>> +or possibly time consuming hardware preparations. Although strongly

>>>>> +recommended drivers are not required to implement this ioctl.

>>>>> +

>>>>

>>>> Could we make this mandatory to avoid ambiguities in the API? In

>>>

I updated the text for v6.
The only problem is if userspace uses EXT_TRY_FMT to a legacy driver through
a conversion layer, and the driver doesn't implement TRY_FMT, do we need a dummy
hook for those cases?
