This RFC patch adds support for the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF flag.
It also adds a new V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF capability and
a v4l2_m2m_release_capture_buf() helper function.

Drivers should set vb2_queue->subsystem_flags to
VB2_V4L2_FL_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF to indicate support for this flag.

The device_run() function should look like this:

if (v4l2_m2m_release_capture_buf(out_vb, cap_vb)) {
        v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);
        v4l2_m2m_job_finish(...);
        return;
}
cap_vb->is_held = out_vb->flags & V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF;

...

v4l2_m2m_buf_done(out_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);
if (!cap_vb->is_held) {
        v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);
        v4l2_m2m_job_finish(...);
}

In order to handle the corner case where V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF
is always set for the output buffer, and you reached the last frame (so no
new output buffer will be queued with a new timestamp), the driver must
implement support for the V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH command, and that should do:

struct vb2_v4l2_buffer *out_vb = v4l2_m2m_last_src_buf(m2m_ctx);
struct vb2_v4l2_buffer *cap_vb = v4l2_m2m_last_dst_buf(m2m_ctx);

if (out_vb) {
        out_vb->flags &= ~V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF;
} else if (cap_vb && cap_vb->is_held) {
        v4l2_m2m_buf_done(cap_vb, VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE);
        v4l2_m2m_job_finish(...);
}

For formats that do not support slicing (e.g. VP8), the FLUSH command
just does nothing.

At least, I think so. Comments on this are very welcome. We definitely
need better support in v4l2-mem2mem.c for such situations (same for
stateful codecs) since it's too complex for drivers to get right IMHO.

Regards,

        Hans
