Thank you for pointing this.
These points are overlooked, as I didn't care about encoder usage enough.
After thinking it again, I think it's not a very good idea to include
supported profiles and levels in a struct for capability.
This is because these values are available only for limited number of formats.
Also, it's true that we need to have a way to set these values as
Dmitry pointed.
Instead, it would make more sense to have additional three types of
controls for profiles, levels, and bitrates:
(1) QUERY_CONTROL: Query values supported by the device
(2) GET_CONTROL: Read a value that is set in the device
(3) SET_CONTROL: Set a value in the device
These operations are similar to V4L2 controls.
(1), (2) and (3) would correspond VIDIOC_QUERY{CTRL,MENU}, S_CTRL, and
G_CTRL in V4L2, respectively.
Also, (3) would be similar to enum virtio_video_control_type in the
virtio-video v1 driver implementation in
https://markmail.org/message/dwghwdqsbl3gsjxu .
For QUERY_CONTROL, my idea is like this:
enum virtio_video_control_type {
VIRTIO_VIDEO_CONTROL_UNDEFINED = 0,
VIRTIO_VIDEO_CONTROL_BITRATE = 0x100,
VIRTIO_VIDEO_CONTROL_PROFILE,
VIRTIO_VIDEO_CONTROL_LEVEL,
};
struct virtio_video_query_control {
struct virtio_video_ctrl_hdr hdr;
le32 control; /* One of VIRTIO_VIDEO_CONTROL_* types */
le32 length;
/* Followed by additional data.
* If |control| is VIRTIO_VIDEO_CONTROL_PROFILE,
* the device must pass a codec format like H264 or VP9.
* The requred data must be defined in the specification.
*/
};
struct virtio_video_query_control_resp {
struct virtio_video_ctrl_hdr hdr;
le32 length;
u8 padding[4];
/* Followed by data corresponds to the specified control.
* The type of data must be defined in the spec.
* For example, if the driver queries profiles, this part should be
* an array of supported profiles of a given format.
*/
};
WDYT?

Yeah. So, in the above idea of QUERY_CONTROL, profile should be
required when querying supported levels.

That's a good point. I missed that dependency when updating the structures.
So, let me update the structs like the following:
struct virtio_video_format_frame {
struct virtio_video_format_range width;
struct virtio_video_format_range height;
le32 num_rates;
u8 padding[4];
/* Followed by struct virtio_video_format_range frame_rates[] */
};
struct virtio_video_format_desc {
le64 mask;
le32 format; /* One of VIRTIO_VIDEO_FORMAT_* types */
le32 planes_layout; /* See the thread [v2 0/1] */
le32 num_frames;
u8 padding[4];
/* Followed by struct virtio_video_format_frame frames[] */
};
