In the confusing landscape of hardware video decoding APIs, we have had a long standing support gap for the v4l2 based APIs implemented for the various SoCs from Rockship, Amlogic, Allwinner, etc. While VAAPI is the defacto default for desktop GPUs, the developers who work on these SoCs (who are not the vendors!) have preferred to implement kernel APIs rather than maintain a userspace driver as VAAPI would require. While there are two v4l2 APIs (m2m and requests), and multiple forks of ffmpeg where support for those APIs languishes without reaching upstream, we can at least say that these APIs export frames as DRMPrime dmabufs, and that they use the ffmpeg drm hwcontext. With those two constants, it is possible for us to write a hwdec-interop without worrying about the mess underneath - for the most part. Accordingly, this change implements a hwdec-interop for any decoder that produces frames as DRMPrime dmabufs. The bulk of the heavy lifting is done by the dmabuf interop code we already had from supporting vaapi, and which I refactored for reusability in a previous set of changes. When we combine that with the fact that we can't probe for supported formats, the new code in this change is pretty simple. This change also includes the hwcontext_fns that are required for us to be able to configure the hwcontext used by `hwdec=drm-copy`. This is technically unrelated, but it seemed a good time to fill this gap. From a testing perspective, I have directly tested on a RockPRO64, while others have tested with different flavours of Rockchip and on Amlogic, providing m2m coverage. I have some other SoCs that I need to spin up to test with, but I don't expect big surprises, and when we inevitably need to account for new special cases down the line, we can do so - we won't be able to support every possible configuration blindly. |
