Hi Michael, Thanks for your work. I like this patch, I think it captures the issue discussed in the previous thread quiet nicely. One small nit below.

But I think that there might be a different case where we have to reset xfer_error: 1. A non-critical transfer error has occurred during streaming from a HDMI source. 2. Frames are still captured for an hour without any further problems, since it was just a short glitch 3. Now the source (e.g. HDMI signal generator) has been powered off by the user so it does not send new frames. 4. Timeout occurs due to 3 but since xfer_error has been set 1 hour ago, userspace is notified about a transfer error and assumes that streaming has been stopped because of this. To avoid this scenario I think maybe we have to restrict validity of xfer_error. Maybe it would be better to make xfer_error a counter which is set after a transfer error to e.g. 10 frames and then decremented after each captured frame so after 10 successfully captured frames we know that a timeout has occurred definitely not due to a transfer error? Another possible improvement might be to make FRAME_TIMEOUT_MS configurable, maybe via a v4l2 control from userspace? Or we could also define the timeout as a multiple of the frame interval of the source. This would allow us to reduce the timeout further based on the particular source so the userspace does not have to wait for a second until it knows that it has to restart streaming.

I discussed this problem last week at a conference and the consensus was that this problem of timeouts and the like should in the first hand be handled in user-space. The reason being that there might be use-cases that are better dealt with there. If the monitor thread is is strictly needed for some reason in kernel thread it should likely be moved to the V4L2 core as all drivers would then be able to use it instead of deeding on slightly different implementations in each driver. So I fear we are back to only try to signal xfer errors in the driver and then leave it to either user-space or some new V4L2 code to help monitoring. Sorry for only understanding this so late in the review, it took some time for me to understand it but once explained to me it made sens.

When a subdevice sends a transfer error event during streaming and we can not capture new frames, then we know for sure that this is an unrecoverable failure and not just a temporary glitch. In this case we can not ignore the transfer error any more and have to notify userspace. In response to the transfer error event userspace can try to restart streaming and hope that it works again. This patch is based on the patch [1] from Niklas Söderlund, however it adds more logic to check whether the VIN hardware module is actually affected by the transfer errors reported by the usptream device. For this it takes some ideas from the imx driver where EOF interrupts are monitored by the eof_timeout_timer added by commit 4a34ec8e470c ("[media] media: imx: Add CSI subdev driver").
