The media spec contains several errors in the description of the I/O streaming ioctls, in particular with respect to the userptr I/O method. The most important change is that you really need to set count and index in v4l2_requestbuffer and v4l2_buffer when dealing with user pointer streaming.

|
|
|
<para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">memory
|
|
mapping</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a
|
|
buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
|
|
&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field
|
|
of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as was previously used with
|
|
&v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers;
|
|
<structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield>
|
|
field. Valid index numbers range from zero
|
|
to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS;
|
|
(&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one.
|
|
The <structfield>reserved</structfield> field should to set to 0.
|
|
After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to
|
|
this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of
|
|
the structure.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>,
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The
|
|
<structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to the current
|
|
I/O method, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield>
|
|
contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory,
|
|
the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. The driver may
|
|
or may not set the remaining fields and flags, they are meaningless in
|
|
this context.</para>
