Provide a way for the user to add mp_images to the pool. This is required for
dxva2, for which using set_allocator is extremely awkward since all the d3d9
surfaces must be allocated in advance and all together.
This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
mpv had refcounted frames before libav*, so we were not using
libavutil's facilities. Change this and drop our own code.
Since AVFrames are not actually refcounted, and only the image data
they reference, the semantics change a bit. This affects mainly
mp_image_pool, which was operating on whole images instead of buffers.
While we could work on AVBufferRefs instead (and use AVBufferPool),
this doesn't work for use with hardware decoding, which doesn't
map cleanly to FFmpeg's reference counting. But it worked out. One
weird consequence is that we still need our custom image data
allocation function (for normal image data), because AVFrame's uses
multiple buffers.
There also seems to be a timing-dependent problem with vaapi (the
pool appears to be "leaking" surfaces). I don't know if this is a new
problem, or whether the code changes just happened to cause it more
often. Raising the number of reserved surfaces seemed to fix it, but
since it appears to be timing dependent, and I couldn't find anything
wrong with the code, I'm just going to assume it's not a new bug.
Until now, failure to allocate image data resulted in a crash (i.e.
abort() was called). This was intentional, because it's pretty silly to
degrade playback, and in almost all situations, the OOM will probably
kill you anyway. (And then there's the standard Linux overcommit
behavior, which also will kill you at some point.)
But I changed my opinion, so here we go. This change does not affect
_all_ memory allocations, just image data. Now in most failure cases,
the output will just be skipped. For video filters, this coincidentally
means that failure is treated as EOF (because the playback core assumes
EOF if nothing comes out of the video filter chain). In other
situations, output might be in some way degraded, like skipping frames,
not scaling OSD, and such.
Functions whose return values changed semantics:
mp_image_alloc
mp_image_new_copy
mp_image_new_ref
mp_image_make_writeable
mp_image_setrefp
mp_image_to_av_frame_and_unref
mp_image_from_av_frame
mp_image_new_external_ref
mp_image_new_custom_ref
mp_image_pool_make_writeable
mp_image_pool_get
mp_image_pool_new_copy
mp_vdpau_mixed_frame_create
vf_alloc_out_image
vf_make_out_image_writeable
glGetWindowScreenshot
The plan is to get rid of the custom VAAPI and possibly VDPAU surface
allocators.
Add custom surface allocation, because hwaccel surfaces are allocated
completely differently from software surfaces.
Add optional LRU allocation, which is (probably) helpful for hwaccel,
but (probably) less optimal for software surfaces.
mp_image_pool_get_no_alloc() is specifically for VAAPI, which can't
allocate new decoder surfaces after decoder init.
Image formats used to be FourCCs, so unsigned int was better. But now
it's annoying and the only difference is that unsigned int is more to
type than int.
pthreads should be available anywhere. Even if not, for environment
without threads a pthread wrapper could be provided that can't actually
start threads, thus disabling features that require threads.
Make pthreads mandatory in order to simplify build dependencies and to
reduce ifdeffery. (Admittedly, there wasn't much complexity, but maybe
we will use pthreads more in the future, and then it'd become a real
bother.)
Change talloc destructor so that they can never signal failure, and
don't return a status code. This makes our talloc copy even more
incompatible to upstream talloc, but on the other hand this is
preparation for getting rid of talloc entirely.
(The talloc replacement in the next commit won't allow the talloc_free
equivalent to fail, and the destructor return value would be useless.
But I don't want to change any mpv code either; the idea is that the
talloc replacement commit can be reverted for some time in order to
test whether the talloc replacement introduced a regression.)
See previous commits. Also simplify this thing: 2 flags per pool image
are enough to avoid a weird central refcount and an associated shared
object keeping the refcount. We could even just store these two flags
in the mp_image itself (like in mp_image.flags or mp_image.priv), but
let's not for the sake of readability.
Refcounting will conceptually allocate and free images all the time
when using the filter chain. Add a pool that makes these reallocations
cheap.
This only affects the image data, not mp_image structs and similar small
allocations. Small allocations are always fast with reasonable memory
managers, while large image data will trigger mmap/munmap calls each
time.
