While the amount of code is not very large, to the contrary it is quite small actually IMO, I presume what this is about and why it is being proposed requires some explaining. Metadata mbus codes and formats have existed for some time in V4L2. They however have been only used by drivers that produce the data itself and effectively this metadata has always been statistics of some sort (at least when it comes to ISPs). What is different here is that we intend to add support for metadata originating from camera sensors. Camera sensors produce different kinds of metadata, embedded data (usually register address--value pairs used to capture the frame, in a more or less sensor specific format), histograms (in a very sensor specific format), dark pixels etc. The number of these formats is probably going to be about as large as image data formats if not larger, as the image data formats are much better standardised but a smaller subset of them will be supported by V4L2, at least initially but possibly much more in the long run. Having this many device specific formats would be a major problem for all the other drivers along that pipeline (not to mention the users of those drivers), including bridge (e.g. CSI-2 to parallel) but especially CSI-2 receiver drivers that have DMA: the poor driver developer would not only need to know camera sensor specific formats but to choose the specific packing of that format suitable for the DMA used by the hardware. It is unlikely many of these would ever get tested while being present on the driver API. Also adding new sensors with new embedded data formats would involve updating all bridge and CSI-2 receiver drivers. I don't expect this to be a workable approach. Instead what I'm proposing is to use specific metadata formats on the sensor devices only, on internal pads (more about those soon) of the sensors, only visible in the UAPI, and then generic mbus formats along the pipeline and finally generic V4L2 metadata formats on the DMAs (specific to bit depth and packing). This would unsnarl the two, defining what data there is (specific mbus code) and how that is transported and packed (generic mbus codes and V4L2 formats). The user space would be required to "know" the path of that data from the sensor's internal pad to the V4L2 video node. I do not see this as these devices require at least some knowledge of the pipeline, i.e. hardware at hand. Separating what the data means and how it is packed may even be beneficial: it allows separating code that interprets the data (sensor internal mbus code) from the code that accesses it (packing). These formats are in practice line based, meaning that there may be padding at the end of the line, depending on the bus as well as the DMA. If non-line based formats are needed, it is always possible to set the "height" field to 1. The internal (source) pads are an alternative to source routes [1]. The source routes were not universally liked and I do have to say I like re-using existing interface concepts (pads and everything you can do with pads, including access format, selections etc.) wherever it makes sense, instead of duplicating functionality. Effectively internal source pads behave mostly just like sink pads, but they describe a flow of data that originates from a sub-device instead of arriving to a sub-device. The SUBDEV_S_ROUTING IOCTLs are used to enable and disable routes from internal source pads to sub-device's source pads. The subdev format IOCTLs are usable, too, so one can find which subdev format is available on given internal source pad. This set depends on these patches: I've also pushed these here and I'll keep updating the branch, I've also included untested OV2740 patches: Questions and comments are most welcome. Preliminary media-ctl and yavta patches can be found here: I have used IMX219 as an example on routing in a sensor driver in this version. I also hope I can add OV2740 support in the next version after testing the patches. [1] since v4: - Add a patch to acquire two sub-device states that may use the same lock. - Add a patch for CCS driver to remove ccs_get_crop_compose() helper. - Add a patch for CCS driver moving acquiring and releasing the mutex to the s_stream callback. - Add a patch for CCS driver to rely on sub-device state locking using a single driver-provided lock. - Fixed calculating minimum number of routes in copying the routes (thanks, Laurent). - Moved a label in S_ROUTING handling to make Clang happy (hopefully). - Fixed setting emb_data_ctrl register for CCS embedded data support. - Rebase on Laurent's cleanup patches. - Wrap a few long lines. - Write in embedded data documentation sensor drivers generally don't allow configuring it. since v3: - Separate preparation patches from this set. - Add a definition for "Data unit", a pixel that is not image data and use it instead in format documentation. - Fix more numbered lists in dev-subdev.rst. - Remove a redundant definition for V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_CSI2_2_24 --- V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_CSI2_12 can be used instead. - Use "X" instead of "p" to denote padding in format documentation. - Use IMX219 in examples instead of CCS. - Document that the generic V4L2 CSI-2 metadata formats use padding defined in CSI-2 spec and packing defined in CCS spec. - Add patches to align [GS]_ROUTING behaviour with V4L2. This means mainly returning configured routes as part of S_ROUTING as well. "len_routes" field is added to denote the length of the array and having more routes than fits in the array is no longer an error. Also added more reserved fields. - Added trivial support for S_ROUTING (via G_ROUTING implementation) for use in drivers with static-only routes. - Added helper functions to obtain mbus format as well as crop and compose rectangles that are streams-independent. - Added a patch to define generic CSI-2 long packet types. - Removed MEDIA_BUS_FMT_IS_META() macro. It didn't seem useful in the end. - Use a single CCS embedded data format. The bit depth can be selected using the meta stream on the source pad. - Fix mbus code numbers (there were holes due to removed redundant formats). - Fix generic mbus code documentation (byte was being used instead of bit). - Fix spelling of "length". - Added a patch to remove v4l2_subdev_enable_streams_api that disables streams API. This should be merged once libcamera support for streams works nicely. - Don't use strings in printing frame descriptor flags. - Warn on string truncation in printing frame descriptor. since v2: - Add a better example, with formats. - Add CCS static data media bus codes. - Added an example demonstrating the use of internal pads. --- Is the level of detail enough for the purpose? - Improved documentation. - Added a macro to tell whether a format is a metadata format. (Documentation could be added.) - A small ReST syntax fix in the same section. - Drop leftovers of a patch checking for the INTERNAL_SOURCE flag. since v1: - Make the new pad flag just "INTERNAL", requiring either SINK or SOURCE pad flag to accompany it. Removed the union in struct v4l2_subdev_route. - Add the term "stream" to MC glossary. - Improved and fixed documentation (according to comments). - Note these formats are little endian. - Remove 1X8 from the names of the mbus codes. These formats have generally 8 bits per pixel. - Fix mbus code numbering (had holes in RFC). - Add new metadata fields to debug prints. - Fix a minor documentation build issue.
