What I want to say is that userspace could allocate buffers then make
the v4l2 decoder import these buffers, but each planes should come from
the right DMA-heaps. Usually the userspace would know better the memory
occupation, it would bring some flexibility here.
Currently, they are another thing bothers me, I need to allocate a small
piece of memory(less than 128KiB) as the compression metadata buffers as
I mentioned here. And these pieces of memory should be located in a
small region, or the performance could be badly hurt, besides, we don't
support IOMMU for this kind of data.
Any idea about assign a small piece of memory from a pre-allocated
memory or select region(I don't think I could reserve them in a
DMA-heap) for a plane in the MMAP type buffer ?
Besides, I am not very satisfied with the dynamic resolution change
steps if I understand it correct. Buffers reallocation should happen
when we receive the event not until the drain is done. A resolution
rising is very common when you are playing a network stream, it would be
better that the decoder decided how many buffers it need for the
previous sequence while the userspace could reallocate the reset of
buffers in the CAPTURE queue.
