Many GL stack uses implicit fences (only visible by kernel drivers, notably etnaviv). In that case, waiting for the fence is not about performance but correctness. I saw a kernel patch from Philipp Zabel that address this inside VB2 (which does not have any fence support), but the down side is that it blocks userspace inside qbuf ioctl. Implicit fence is strictly kernel. If it was explicit, we could wait or poll in userspace before reusing that buffer.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:等线"> </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:等线">Regards,</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:等线">Bing</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:等线"> </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> gstreamer-devel <<a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">gstreamer-devel-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org</a>><b>On Behalf Of </b>Nicolas Dufresne<br><b>Sent:</b> 2021</span>年<span lang="EN-US">1</span>月<span lang="EN-US">12</span>日<span lang="EN-US"> 22:19<br><b>To:</b> Discussion of the development of and with GStreamer <<a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [EXT] Re: V4L2 video decoder buffer fence<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color:white;background:darkred">Caution: </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color:white;background:darkred">EXT Email</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">Le mar. 12 janv. 2021 02 h 15, Bing Song <<a href="mailto:bing.song@nxp.com" target="_blank">bing.song@nxp.com</a>> a</span>é<span lang="EN-US">crit :<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">I want to implement v4l2 video decoder buffer fence.
