* [media] media framework: rename pads init function to media_entity_pads_init()Mauro Carvalho Chehab2016-01-111-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the MC next gen rework, what's left for media_entity_init() is to just initialize the PADs. However, certain devices, like a FLASH led/light doesn't have any input or output PAD. So, there's no reason why calling media_entity_init() would be mandatory. Also, despite its name, what this function actually does is to initialize the PADs data. So, rename it to media_entity_pads_init() in order to reflect that. The media entity actual init happens during entity register, at media_device_register_entity(). We should move init of num_links and num_backlinks to it.

* [media] media: rename the function that create pad linksMauro Carvalho Chehab2016-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the new API, a link can be either between two PADs or between an interface and an entity. So, we need to use a better name for the function that create links between two pads. So, rename the such function to media_create_pad_link(). No functional changes. This patch was created via this shell script: for i in $(find drivers/media -name '*.[ch]' -type f) $(find drivers/staging/media -name '*.[ch]' -type f) $(find include/ -name '*.h' -type f) ; do sed s,media_entity_create_link,media_create_pad_link,g <$i >a && mv a $i; done Acked-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Tested-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@osg.samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
* [media] media: get rid of unused "extra_links" param on media_entity_init()Mauro Carvalho Chehab2016-01-111-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, media_entity_init() creates an array with the links, allocated at init time. It provides a parameter (extra_links) that would allocate more links than the current needs, but this is not used by any driver. As we want to be able to do dynamic link allocation/removal, we'll need to change the implementation of the links. So, before doing that, let's first remove that extra unused parameter, in order to cleanup the interface first.

* [media] media: Add link_validate() op to check links to the sink padSakari Ailus2012-05-141-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of the link_validate() op is to allow an entity driver to ensure that the properties of the pads at the both ends of the link are suitable for starting the pipeline. link_validate is called on sink pads on active links which belong to the active part of the graph.

* [media] media: Pipelines and media streamsLaurent Pinchart2011-03-221-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers often need to associate pipeline objects to entities, and to take stream state into account when configuring entities and links. The pipeline API helps drivers manage that information. When starting streaming, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_start(). The function marks all entities connected to the given entity through enabled links, either directly or indirectly, as streaming. Similarly, when stopping the stream, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_stop(). The media_entity_pipeline_start() function takes a pointer to a media pipeline and stores it in every entity in the graph. Drivers should embed the media_pipeline structure in higher-level pipeline structures and can then access the pipeline through the media_entity structure. Link configuration will fail with -EBUSY by default if either end of the link is a streaming entity, unless the link is marked with the MEDIA_LNK_FL_DYNAMIC flag.

* [media] media: Links setupLaurent Pinchart2011-03-221-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create the following ioctl and implement it at the media device level to setup links. - MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK: Modify the properties of a given link The only property that can currently be modified is the ENABLED link flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the IMMUTABLE link flag can not be enabled or disabled. Enabling or disabling a link has effects on entities' use count. Those changes are automatically propagated through the graph.

* [media] media: Entity use countLaurent Pinchart2011-03-221-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management needs, the media controller does not implement power management. However, the media_entity structure includes a use_count field that media drivers can use to track the number of users of every entity for power management needs. The use_count field is owned by media drivers and must not be touched by entity drivers. Access to the field must be protected by the media device graph_mutex lock.

* [media] media: Entities, pads and linksLaurent Pinchart2011-03-221-0/+151
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As video hardware pipelines become increasingly complex and configurable, the current hardware description through v4l2 subdevices reaches its limits. In addition to enumerating and configuring subdevices, video camera drivers need a way to discover and modify at runtime how those subdevices are connected. This is done through new elements called entities, pads and links. An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices (CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical connectors. A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries. A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source pad to a sink pad. Links are stored in the source entity. To make backwards graph walk faster, a copy of all links is also stored in the sink entity. The copy is known as a backlink and is only used to help graph traversal. The entity API is made of three functions: - media_entity_init() initializes an entity. The caller must provide an array of pads as well as an estimated number of links. The links array is allocated dynamically and will be reallocated if it grows beyond the initial estimate. - media_entity_cleanup() frees resources allocated for an entity. It must be called during the cleanup phase after unregistering the entity and before freeing it. - media_entity_create_link() creates a link between two entities. An entry in the link array of each entity is allocated and stores pointers to source and sink pads. When a media device is unregistered, all its entities are unregistered automatically. The code is based on Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> initial work.
