Hey there,
We ran a call today on the topics of V4L2/dmabuf integration and theDMA mapping changes; I've included minutes and actions below.
In summary:
- We're not going to see the V4L2 patches in 3.4; they haven't had enough review or testing and Mauro is very busy this merge window. - We're going to put in effort to validate the work on Exynos4 and OMAP4 using test applications that Rob and Tomasz are maintaining.Just for reference, I've also tested the V4L2 dmabuf importer role on a Renesas AP4 platform (sharing buffers between V4L2 and FB).
Is it worth adding explicit Tested-Bys for this (or has Tomasz done that already)?
Laurent has work that he can push forward in parallel API change ioctl addition that could be reviewedI don't really have work that I can push forward in parallel. My point was that the modifications to the V4L2 API and the implementation in videobuf2 are two separate tasks that should be pushed forward in parallel (extending the V4L2 API takes quite a lot of time in my experience, our developers like nit- picking on the mailing list when they review the documentation - which I consider as a good thing, just for the record).
Thanks for the clarification. I hope this makes sense to somebody who knows enough to understand why these two pieces of work are separate <wink>
