    [media] mem2mem: add support for hardware buffered queue · 33bdd5a8
    Philipp Zabel authored
    On mem2mem decoders with a hardware bitstream ringbuffer, to drain the
    buffer at the end of the stream, remaining frames might need to be decoded
    from the bitstream buffer without additional input buffers being provided.
    To achieve this, allow a queue to be marked as buffered by the driver, and
    allow scheduling of device_runs when buffered ready queues are empty.
    This also allows a driver to copy input buffers into their bitstream
    ringbuffer and immediately mark them as done to be dequeued.
    The motivation for this patch is hardware assisted h.264 reordering support
    in the coda driver. For high profile streams, the coda can hold back
    out-of-order frames, causing a few mem2mem device runs in the beginning, that
    don't produce any decompressed buffer at the v4l2 capture side. At the same
    time, the last few frames can be decoded from the bitstream with mem2mem device
    runs that don't need a new input buffer at the v4l2 output side. The decoder
    command ioctl can be used to put the decoder into the ringbuffer draining
    end-of-stream mode.
