Clarify the behavior of v4l2_buffer in the multiplanar case, including fixing a false statement: you can't set m.planes to NULL when calling DQBUF. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

|
|
<para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">streaming
|
|
</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.
|
|
When using the <link linkend="planar-apis">multi-planar API</link>, the
|
|
<structfield>m.planes</structfield> field must contain a userspace pointer to an
|
|
array of &v4l2-plane; and the <structfield>length</structfield> field has
|
|
to be set to the number of elements in that array.
|
|
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_PREPARED</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. For the single-planar API, 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. For the multi-planar API,
|
|
fields <structfield>m.mem_offset</structfield> and
|
|
<structfield>length</structfield> in the <structfield>m.planes</structfield>
|
|
array elements will be used instead and the <structfield>length</structfield>
|
|
field of &v4l2-buffer; is set to the number of filled-in array elements.
|
|
The driver may or may not set the remaining fields and flags, they are
|
|
meaningless in this context.</para>
