Darn, I was so hoping that I could sign off on it, but this makes no sense

Either it is:
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_YUYV8_1X8,
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_YVYU8_1X8,
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_UYVY8_1X8,
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_VYUY8_1X8
where the 'YUYV' code tells you the order of the Y, U and V samples over the
bus, or it is:
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_YUYV8_2X8_BE,
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_YUYV8_2X8_LE,
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_YVYU8_2X8_BE,
V4L2_MBUS_FMT_YVYU8_2X8_LE,
Where the BE or LE suffix tells you the order in which the YU/YV pairs are
arriving.
No. In nXk n is the number of k-bit wide _electrical_ samples of the bus
to get (an equivalent of) one _pixel_. So, for 16-bit formats on 8-bit bus
it's _definitely_ 2X8.
And no, BE and LE is the order of _samples_ within one _pixel_, not the
order of pixels within one megapixel (YU/YV pairs are arriving), but
that's also what you meant above, judging by the names.
So, I'll go with the 2X8_[LB]E variant, where
YUYV8_2X8_LE == YUYV with LE packing
YUYV8_2X8_BE == UYVY with LE packing
YVYU8_2X8_LE == YVYU with LE packing
YVYU8_2X8_BE == VYUY with LE packing
Personally I prefer the first (1X8) representation.

[PATCH 1/2 v5] v4l: add a media-bus API for configuring v4l2 subdev pixel and frame formats
Video subdevices, like cameras, decoders, connect to video bridges over
specialised busses. Data is being transferred over these busses in various
formats, which only loosely correspond to fourcc codes, describing how video
data is stored in RAM. This is not a one-to-one correspondence, therefore we
cannot use fourcc codes to configure subdevice output data formats. This patch
adds codes for several such on-the-bus formats and an API, similar to the
familiar .s_fmt(), .g_fmt(), .try_fmt(), .enum_fmt() API for configuring those
codes. After all users of the old API in struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops are
converted, it will be removed. Also add helper routines to support generic
pass-through mode for the soc-camera framework.

I know it is tempting to just merge lirc_dev and start working, but can we first agree on the overall subsystem structure before doing so. It is still quite inclear to me. The open questions (for me at least): - do we create a new class infrastructure for all receivers or only for ones plugged into lirc_dev? Remember that classifying objects affects how udev and friemds see them and may either help or hurt writing PnP rules. IMO, I would create it as /sys/class/input/IR (just like the /mice). I That will not work. Driver core does not support notion of subclasses, Greg and Kay insist on flat class namespace. Mice do not belong to a separate [sub]class, they all members of input class, with peculiar directory structure. IRs however, I believe, deserve a full-fledged class (since they are in my view are parents to the input devices representing remotes). I would argus for the following sysfs hierarchy for the main device tree: /sys/devices/pcipci:00/../pci.../../irrcv0/input14/event16 /sys/devices/pcipci:00/../usb.../../irrcv1/input15/event17 /input16/event18 And corresponding class: /sys/class/irrcv/irrcv0 irrcv1 and so on. don't see why do we need to different lirc than no-lirc drivers in the case of sysfs class. I do agree that _all_ infrared receivers should belong to this class, and not only ones utilizing lirc_dev. As devices with raw input capabilities will have another dev to communicate, this means that we'll need a /lirc node there to point to lirc dev. - do we intend to support in-kernel sotfware decoders? Yes. Good. - What is the structure? Do we organize them as a module to be used by driver directly or the driver streams the data to IR core and the core applies decoders (in the same fashion input events from drivers flow into input core and then distributed to all bound interfaces for processing/conversion/transmission to userspace)? My plan is to expand ir-common.ko module and rename it to ir-core, to be the IR core module for the evdev interface. I'm already working on it. My idea for an architecture is that the lirc-core module will use ir-common where the IR decoders will be, and the evdev interface. How related lirc-core to the current lirc code? If it is not the same maybe we should not call it lirc to avoid confusion. IMO, we should move them from /drivers/media/common to /drivers/input/ir. It makes sense to use kfifo to send the data to the in-kernel decoders. OK. - how do we control which decoder should handle particular receiver/remote? Is it driver's decision, decoder's decision, user's or all of the above? It should be all the above, since some hardware will only work with certain decoders (hardware limitation) or they may have already a raw mode-scancode legacy decoder. In the latter case, those decoders will be removed from the existing drivers, but this action will take some time. Some sysfs attributes are needed to specify a list of the supported protocols and the currently used one. I'll prepare a proposed patch for it, after we finish aligning the requirements. - do we allow to have several decorers active at once for a receiver? Yes, as an optional requirement, since some hardware won't support it. - who decides that we want to utilize lirc_dev? Driver's themselves, IR core (looking at the driver/device capabilities), something else? Drivers that support raw mode, should interface via lirc-core, that will, in turn use ir-core. Drivers that have in-hardware decode will directly use ir-core. - do we recognize and create input devices on-fly or require user intervention? Semantics for splitting into several input/event devices? I don't have a strong opinion here. I don't see any way for doing it, except with very few protocols that sends vendor IDs. I don't care if this feature can be used by the drivers/decoders that could support it. Could anyone please draw me a picture, starting with a receiver piece of hardware. I am not concerned much with how exactly receiver is plugged into a particular subsystem (DVB/V4L etc) since it would be _their_ implementation detail, but with the flow in/out of that receiver device. Not sure if I got your idea. Basically, what I see is: For device drivers that work in raw mode: [IR physical device] == [IR receiver driver] == [lirc-core] == [decoder] == [ir-core] == [evdev] (eventually, we can merge decoder and ir-core into one module at the beginning, depending on the size of the decoders) For device drivers that work only in evdev mode (those with hardware
Re: [PATCH] V4L - Fix videobuf_dma_contig_user_get() getting page aligned physical address
Hi again Murali, Thanks for your work on this. On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 12:48 AM, Karicheri, Muralidharan m-kariche...@ti.com wrote: Magnus, Thanks for the patch. For non-page aligned user space pointers I agree that a fix is needed. Don't you think the while loop in videobuf_dma_contig_user_get() also needs to be adjusted to include the last page? I think the while loop checks one page too little in the non-aligned case today. Thanks for reviewing my patch. It had worked for non-aligned address in my testing. If I understand this code correctly, the physical address of the user page start is determined in the first loop (pages_done == 0) and additional loops are run to make sure the memory is physically contiguous. Initially the mem-size is set to number of pages aligned to page size. Assume we pass 4097 bytes as size. mem-size = PAGE_ALIGN(vb-size); = 2 Inside the loop, iteration is done for 0 to pages-1. pages_done (mem-size 12) = pages_done 2 = iterate 2 times For size of 4096, we iterate once. For size of 4095, we iterate once. So IMO the loop is already iterate one more time when we pass non-aligned address since size is aligned to include the last page. So based on this could you ack my patch so that we could ask Mauro to merge it with priority? I think your observations are correct, but I also think there is one more hidden issue. In the case where the offset within the page is other than 0 then we should loop once more to also check the final page. Right now no one is checking if the last page is contiguous or not in the case on non-page-aligned offset.. So in your case with a 4096 or 4095 size, but if the offset withing the page is non-zero then we should loop twice to make sure the pages really are physically contiguous. Today we only loop once based on the size. We should also include the offset in the calculation of number of pages to check. If you can include that fix in your patch that would be great. If not then i'll fix it up myself.

I know it is tempting to just merge lirc_dev and start working, but can we first agree on the overall subsystem structure before doing so. It is still quite inclear to me. The open questions (for me at least): - do we create a new class infrastructure for all receivers or only for ones plugged into lirc_dev? Remember that classifying objects affects how udev and friemds see them and may either help or hurt writing PnP rules. IMO, I would create it as /sys/class/input/IR (just like the /mice). I That will not work. Driver core does not support notion of subclasses, Greg and Kay insist on flat class namespace. Mice do not belong to a separate [sub]class, they all members of input class, with peculiar directory structure. IRs however, I believe, deserve a full-fledged class (since they are in my view are parents to the input devices representing remotes). I would argus for the following sysfs hierarchy for the main device tree: /sys/devices/pcipci:00/../pci.../../irrcv0/input14/event16 /sys/devices/pcipci:00/../usb.../../irrcv1/input15/event17 /input16/event18 And corresponding class: /sys/class/irrcv/irrcv0 irrcv1 and so on. Seems fine to me. don't see why do we need to different lirc than no-lirc drivers in the case of sysfs class. I do agree that _all_ infrared receivers should belong to this class, and not only ones utilizing lirc_dev. As devices with raw input capabilities will have another dev to communicate, this means that we'll need a /lirc node there to point to lirc dev. - do we intend to support in-kernel sotfware decoders? Yes. Good. - What is the structure? Do we organize them as a module to be used by driver directly or the driver streams the data to IR core and the core applies decoders (in the same fashion input events from drivers flow into input core and then distributed to all bound interfaces for processing/conversion/transmission to userspace)? My plan is to expand ir-common.ko module and rename it to ir-core, to be the IR core module for the evdev interface. I'm already working on it. My idea for an architecture is that the lirc-core module will use ir-common where the IR decoders will be, and the evdev interface. How related lirc-core to the current lirc code? If it is not the same maybe we should not call it lirc to avoid confusion. Just for better illustrate what I'm seeing, I broke the IR generic code into two components: lirc core - the module that receives raw pulse/space and creates a device to receive raw API pulse/space events; IR core - the module that receives scancodes, convert them into keycodes and send via evdev interface. We may change latter the nomenclature, but I'm seeing the core as two different modules, since there are cases where lirc core won't be used (those devices were there's no way to get pulse/space events). Not sure if I got your idea. Basically, what I see is: For device drivers that work in raw mode: [IR physical device] == [IR receiver driver] == [lirc-core] == [decoder] == [ir-core] == [evdev] (eventually, we can merge decoder and ir-core into one module at the beginning, depending on the size of the decoders) For device drivers that work only in evdev mode (those with hardware decoders): [IR physical device] == [IR receiver driver] == [ir-core] == [evdev] Maybe we are talking about the same things and it is just names that are confusing. I'd imagine something like this: In-kernel decoding: [IR physical device] = [IR receiver driver] = [IR core] = [decoder] = [input core] = [evdev] = [decoder] = [input core] = [evdev] Hardware decoder: [IR physical device] = [IR receiver driver] = [IR core] = [input core] = [evdev] I.e we still register with IR core but driver communicates directly with input device. Userspace decoging: [IR physical device] = [IR receiver driver] = [IR core] = [lirc_dev] = [lircd] = [uinput] = [input core] = [evdev] I think, we're thinking the same thing, but I've broke the IR core into two parts: the lirc core, where the LIRC API will be handled, and the IR core, where the input API will be handled. I've assumed that we'll use lirc API only for raw IR decode. So, in the hardware decoder case, we will expose only the evdev. So a drawing showing those two

Quoting myself: Currently I would tend to an approach like this: - raw interface to userspace using LIRC For me this includes both the pulse/space data and also the scan codes when hardware does the decoding. Consider cases like this: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/lg/6711A20015N This is an air-conditioner remote. The entries that you see in this config file are not really separate buttons. Instead the remote just sends the current settings for e.g. temperature encoded in the protocol when you press some up/down key. You really don't want to map all possible temperature settings to KEY_* events. For such cases it would be nice to have access at the raw scan codes from user space to do interpretation of the data. The default would still be to pass the data to the input layer, but it won't hurt to have the possibility to access the raw data somehow. Interesting. IMHO, the better would be to add an evdev ioctl to return the scancode for such cases, instead of returning the keycode.

On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 12:48 AM, Karicheri, Muralidharan m-kariche...@ti.com wrote: Magnus, Thanks for the patch. For non-page aligned user space pointers I agree that a fix is needed. Don't you think the while loop in videobuf_dma_contig_user_get() also needs to be adjusted to include the last page? I think the while loop checks one page too little in the non-aligned case today. Thanks for reviewing my patch. It had worked for non-aligned address in my testing. If I understand this code correctly, the physical address of the user page start is determined in the first loop (pages_done == 0) and additional loops are run to make sure the memory is physically contiguous. Initially the mem-size is set to number of pages aligned to page size. Assume we pass 4097 bytes as size. mem-size = PAGE_ALIGN(vb-size); = 2 Inside the loop, iteration is done for 0 to pages-1. pages_done (mem-size 12) = pages_done 2 = iterate 2 times For size of 4096, we iterate once. For size of 4095, we iterate once. So IMO the loop is already iterate one more time when we pass non-aligned address since size is aligned to include the last page. So based on this could you ack my patch so that we could ask Mauro to merge it with priority? I think your observations are correct, but I also think there is one more hidden issue. In the case where the offset within the page is other than 0 then we should loop once more to also check the final page. Right now no one is checking if the last page is contiguous or not in the case on non-page-aligned offset.. So in your case with a 4096 or 4095 size, but if the offset withing the page is non-zero then we should loop twice to make sure the pages really are physically contiguous. Today we only loop once based on the size. We should also include the offset in the calculation of number of pages to check. Yes. You are right. For offsets that are non-aligned we need to check for the last one. Probably unsigned int offset = vb-baddr ~PAGE_MASK; mem-size = PAGE_ALIGN(vb-size + offset); .. if (pages_done == 0) mem-handle = (this_pfn PAGE_SHIFT) + offset; If this is fine, I can send you a updated patch. If you can fix it that is fine too. regards, Murali If you can include that fix in your patch that would be great. If not then i'll fix it up myself. If you could do this it will be great!

There will need to be several default device/keymaps installed to avoid the need to configure. For example, have udev install a default map from Motorola DVR IR to Linux keycodes. Installing that map creates a new evdev device. Myth can then look for that device by default and listen to it. Now the user just needs to set their programmable remote to send Motorola DVR and everything should just work. Pick similar default maps/evdev device for music players and home automation. Sophisticated users can change these default maps by editing the udev scripts. Long term the goal is to get IR profiles for Linux DVR, music player, home automation, etc in to the IR database. Then we won't have to override the profile for another company's device. I believe it is a requirement to send the decoded IR events up to user space (EV_IR). That would handle the case of the air conditioner remote. It also allows construction of an app that automatically searches the IR database for mapping tables. Normal apps would just ignore these events. Installing a map is what triggers the creation of another evdev device. There should be one evdev device per map installed. The current input API design does not provide for a way to do this. The only solution I see to automatic device creation is to monitor unmapped EV_IR events and search for them in the IR database. When a match is found, install the map from the database - which then triggers the creation of a new evdev device and the EV_IR event won't be unmapped any more. Searching is not a simple process since the same IR code often appears in more than one map. Some human intervention will probably be required. [IR physical device] = [IR receiver driver] = [LIRC core] = [decoder] = [IR core] = [input core] = [evdev] || || = [Lirc API device] == [EV_IR events] The EV_IR events also allow a user space protocol decoder to inject those events back into the input subsystem where they will flow through the mapping tables. The in-kernel protocol decoders should be designed as a set of modules with the pulse data being simultaneously supplied to all modules. That will make it easy to work on the protocol converters - just insmod/rmmod as you make changes. These engines can be extracted from the LIRC code and turned into modules.

My receiver accepts codes like that. Sorry, my point wasn't the event names, I picked them for their superficial correspondence to the TV, DVD, SAT etc. buttons found on multifunction remotes. Obviously I picked wrong. I was also wrong to assume that remotes with such buttons are always multifunction remotes in the sense that they are meant to control separate devices. As Mauro pointed out, (some) bundled remotes with such buttons aren't; thus I wouldn't consider them multifunction at all. They simply have some extra buttons labelled TV, DVD etc, which probably shouldn't be mapped to KEY_TV, KEY_DVD etc. (since those events carry different semantics) but should be mapped to something else. Or not, if these buttons change some internal decoder state instead, modifying the mapping or destination input device of the other keys. It's just a different scenario, where the kernel could reasonably give rather different representations to simple applications aiming at plugplay: letting through the function change events untouched, or masking and using them internally. True multifunction devices don't send such events, the TV, DVD etc buttons on them change their internal state and the scan codes sent by the other keys, if I understand this correctly. I'd prefer if these two behaviours could be abstacted from, and the input layer interface would provide destination selection events + generic events, or (to be defined) device specific events only in either case.

[PATCH] sound/usb: Relax urb data alignment restriciton for HVR-950Q only
Addressing audio quality problem.
In sound/usb/usbaudio.c, for the Hauppage HVR-950Q only, change
retire_capture_urb to copy the entire byte stream while still counting
entire audio frames. urbs unaligned on channel sample boundaries are
still truncated to the next lowest stride (audio slot) size to try to
retain channel alignment in cases of data loss over usb.
With the HVR950Q the left and right channel samples can be split between
two different urbs. Throwing away extra channel samples causes a sound
quality problem for stereo streams as the left and right channels are
swapped repeatedly.

Same if request_mem_region() fails. Sergei had posted on this earlier[1]. Quoting him here: Was this his personal opinion or has he given any reference to support it?

So I am going to update the patch with these and send it again. -Murali What are the proper error codes when platform_get_resource, -ENODEV. request_mem_region -EBUSY. and ioremap functions fail?. -ENOMEM.

RE: [PATCH - v0 2/2] DaVinci - vpfe capture - Make clocks configurable
Vaibhav,
Could you confirm my question below? I need to submit a patch on Monday.
Currently we have vpfe_capture.c file (master/bridge driver) which is
handling clk_get/put, and platform data is providing the details about it.
Ideally we should handle it in respective ccdc driver file, since he has
all the knowledge about required number of clocks and its name. This way
we
don't have to maintain/pass clock information in platform data.
I would appreciate any comments/thoughts/pointers here.
Though I agree that this clock could be set by the ccdc driver, I am not
sure if the same clock is used by an IP on different SOCs. For example take
the case of ccdc on DM6446 which is also used on OMAP 35xx SOC. Do they use
vpss master and slave clocks as is done on DM6446? If this is true, then we
could set the clock inside ccdc driver.
Let me know so that I can re-work the patch and send it to the list.
Murali
Thanks,
Vaibhav

Users on vdrportal have reported that other cards do not have problems. All TT S2 3200 users ( like myself) are not able to get a lock on that transponder anymore. So ServusTV HD (one of the not to many HD freeview channels) is no longer accessible. I have tried recent liplianin drivers, and some old multiproto_plus drivers without success.

If the reduction of requirements scope starts forcing users to buy new hardware, are we really serving the users or just asking them to pay to compensate for our shortcomings? Use of arbitrary remotes is a complex process. It almost certainly can not be done in a transparent just works manner. Let me rephrase, is it ok to tell people to buy a new remote if they want to avoid a complex, technical configuration process that isn't even guaranteed to work (they might have a 56K remote and a 38K receiver or a Sony remote and a fixed RC-5 receiver). I'm not proposing that we prevent arbitrary remotes from working, you're just going to need to expend more effort to make them work. For example, you have to have a fair amount of IR knowledge to figure out why those two cases above don't work. You might have to install LIRC and futz with irrecord and build your own config files and mapping tables, etc... It doesn't have to only be a universal remote, we can pre-install mapping tables for the remotes commonly shipped with the v4l hardware. When the v4l drivers load they could even poke the default map for their bundled remotes directly into the input system if they wanted to. Doing that might save a lot of config issues. How this for new goals? Specific IR drivers autoload maps for their bundled remotes by poking them into the input subsystem during module load IR always has default map for a universal remote - it provides five devices and uses a common protocol like JVC (may not work for fixed hardware, you have to set these five common devices into the universal remote) All of these maps can be overriden with user space commands (which lets you configure funky remotes) -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Re: Mantis – anyone?
2009/11/26 Matthias Wächter matth...@waechter.wiz.at: I am now playing around with the available code for quite some time now with mixed success, but no solution comes near the term “stable”. • kernel: nothing in there. Well, reasonable. • v4l-dvb: nothing in there. • s2-liplianin: mantis available, but obviously not under development/bugfixing. IR seems to work, CI handling looks quite broken, hangups/lockups are the rule, additional problems with more than one of these cards in the system. • mantis-v4l: does not compile out of the box for recent kernels. When hand-knitting the files into a kernel source directory (2.6.31), works quite unstable, module reloading frequently segfaults. IR does not work (at least for VDR), CI handling looks better than s2-liplianin. Conclusion: Stability is way below a level for reasonable usage while bug fixing. [1] gives an overview of the current state of (non-)development. Does this still apply? My questions are: • Is there someone feeling responsible for that baby? • What is the main part of the mantis stuff not working – mantis itself, the frontend, or adaptions from multiproto to s2api? • What can someone owning some of these cards (one Terratec, two Technisat) do to help the (former) authors to continue their work? • Is there some documentation available which would enable ‘the community’ to work on that further? Please try http://jusst.de/hg/v4l-dvb and report the issues Regards, Manu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
