Please describe, why is it impossible to support this hardware in the venus driver. We do not usually add new drivers for the new generations of the hardware, unless it is fully incompatible with the previous generations. Let me point you to camss or drm/msm drivers. They have successfully solved the issue of supporting multiple generations of the hardware in the same driver. Unless the "iris3" is completely different from all the previous generations, I strongly suggest spending time on restructuring existing venus driver and then adding support for the new hardware there instead of dumping out something completely new. > > This driver comes with below features: > - Centralized resource and memory management. > - Centralized management of core and instance states. > - Defines platform specific capabilities and features.

I think my main comment and question for this driver is; what specifically about the sm8550 requires an entirely new driver for the venus block ? We have a re-implementation of the HFI as an example. What are the specifics of the technical barriers, if any, that preclude adding or extending the existing venus codebase to enable the new silicon ? --- bod

Please post start the series from the bindings. In your next iteration, make sure to include full v4l2-compliance report in your cover letter since we cannot assume maintainers. In addition to this, we now ask for fluster scores for each of your supported decoders. We expect the results to have no timeout, and ideally the error/failure explained (aka unsupported resolution, profile, subsampling, bit depth, etc.). Note that inter-resolution change is not possible with V4L2 today, so no need to explain why these VP9 tests fails. Fluster supports V4L2 decoding through GStreamer (gst-launch + video4linux plugin) and FFMPEG at the moment. It will run through ITU conformance vectors for HEVC and H.264, and run through libvpx and and chromium test vectors for VP9. https://github.com/fluendo/fluster regards, Nicolas > > > > > Dikshita

AFAIK the major differences are HW IP and firmware interface (by firmware interface I mean a protocol, API and API behavior). The firmware and its interface has been re-written to align closely with the current v4l2 specs for encoders/decoders state machines [1][2]. On the other side current mainline Venus driver firmware is following interface similar to OpenMAX. There are incompatibilities between both firmware interfaces which cannot easily combined in a common driver. Even if there is a possibility to do that it will lead us to a unreadable driver source code and maintenance burden. Vikash, could elaborate more on firmware interface differences.

If the hardware is more or less the same, then the existing venus driver should be refactored and split into hardware driver and the firmware interface. Then iris3 can come up as a second driver implementing support for new firmware interface but utilising common hardware-related code. > Vikash, could elaborate more on firmware interface differences.

Its not just about supporting the new firmware interface because if that was the case, it would have been a simple change. Its also about how the new firmware interface affects the rest of the video sub-modules and state handling. We incrementally evaluated whether putting the pieces one by one would make sense but it doesn’t as every layer got affected and as a whole we decided to go with this approach. To elaborate more, let me try to put one of sequence which can provide info on firmware interface and its handling across different video layers. >> Vikash, could elaborate more on firmware interface differences. Many new interfaces are added. Explained below one such video usecase of handling dynamic resolution change (DRC) during drain. Illustrated a pseudo code on how this will look if we fit this in venus driver. - Client issues a STOP command. The command goes through state-wise command handling, which also checks for cases like back to back drain. Vidc layer, which handles common encoder and decoder functionality, routes it to decoder stop. Decoder and driver layer then submits the command "HFI_CMD_DRAIN" to hardware and moves the sub state to "MSM_VIDC_DRAIN". - Now before drain is completed, there is a resolution change in one of the frame queued before drain. Driver receives "HFI_CMD_SETTINGS_CHANGE" in hfi response layer. The response goes through state check if received in intended state and if good, changes the state to "MSM_VIDC_DRC | MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE". Any further input processing remain paused at this point. The decoder layer then parses all the bitstream parameters which were subscribed by the driver. V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE event is raised to client. - Hardware respond with HFI_INFO_HFI_FLAG_PSC_LAST to indicate LAST frame with old sequence. Driver substate is added with "MSM_VIDC_DRC_LAST_BUFFER | MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE". At this point, driver is in state, STREAMING and substate - MSM_VIDC_DRAIN | MSM_VIDC_DRC | MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE | MSM_VIDC_DRC_LAST_BUFFER | MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE. This is when both hardware as well as driver is paused while waiting for further instructions. - Client issues START cmd. Vidc layer routes it to decoder layer which checks for sub states and then allocates/queues internal buffers. At this point, DRC sequence is completed and substates "MSM_VIDC_DRC | MSM_VIDC_DRC_LAST_BUFFER" are cleared and both input and output planes are resumed with HFI "HFI_CMD_RESUME". substate "MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE" and "MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE" is cleared as well. So driver is in streaming state with sub state as "MSM_VIDC_DRAIN" - Hardware issues a response to "HFI_CMD_DRAIN". As part of handling of this, driver adds to sub state "MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE". This is done to avoid any further input processing. Once all the frames are processed, hardware raises HFI "HFI_INFO_HFI_FLAG_DRAIN_LAST". After doing state check, further sub states "MSM_VIDC_DRAIN_LAST_BUFFER | MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE" are added. So at this point, the sub states are MSM_VIDC_DRAIN, MSM_VIDC_DRAIN_LAST_BUFFER, MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE and MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE. - Any pair calls like VIDIOC_STREAMON()/VIDIOC_STREAMOFF() on output or capture queue, resets the substate to stream again. If the same needs to be added in venus driver - Client issues a STOP cmd to initiate drain. Decoder layer for stop handling needs to be updated something like below //pseudo code if (old interface) send dummy buffer change state to VENUS_DEC_STATE_DRAIN drain_active = true else statewise validation of STOP cmd state check for back to back drain issue HFI_CMD_DRAIN to hardware change sub state = MSM_VIDC_DRAIN - DRC is issued by hardware if (old interface) //vdec and hfi response layer HFI_EVENT_SESSION_SEQUENCE_CHANGED with type HFI_EVENT_DATA_SEQUENCE_CHANGED_SUFFICIENT_BUF_RESOURCES changes state to VENUS_DEC_STATE_DRC next_buf_last = true flush (output) reconfig = true raise V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE event to client else HFI_CMD_SETTINGS_CHANGE // in hfi response layer state validation for intended state // in state handling layer sub state |= MSM_VIDC_DRC | MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE raise V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE event to client - LAST flag handling if (old interface) No LAST flag HFI from hardware in qbuf_capture if (next_buf_last) associated LAST flag else handle HFI_INFO_HFI_FLAG_PSC_LAST //in response layer sub state |= MSM_VIDC_DRC_LAST_BUFFER | MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE - Client issues START cmd if (old interface) does not handle VENUS_DEC_STATE_DRC state else sub state &= ~(MSM_VIDC_DRC | MSM_VIDC_DRC_LAST_BUFFER) allocates and queue internal buffer call HFI_CMD_RESUME for input and output sub state &= ~(MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE|MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE) - Hardware response for HFI_CMD_DRAIN if (old interface) Nothing to do. else sub state |= MSM_VIDC_INPUT_PAUSE - Handling for drain LAST flag if (old interface) receives dummy buffer with EOS converts to LAST and send to client else process HFI_INFO_HFI_FLAG_DRAIN_LAST sub state |= MSM_VIDC_DRAIN_LAST_BUFFER | MSM_VIDC_OUTPUT_PAUSE There are many such complex sequences which would add to complexity if we try to fit them into existing driver. > Do we have any details on firmware versions that implement older > (OpenMAX-like) interface vs versions implementing new (v4l2-like) > interface? > >> [1] >> https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/media/v4l/dev-decoder.html >> >> [2] >> https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/media/v4l/dev-encoder.html Thanks, Vikash
