34 * DOC: Media Controller
35 *
36 * Linux kernel media framework
37 * ============================
38 *
39 * This document describes the Linux kernel media framework, its data structures,
40 * functions and their usage.
41 *
42 *
43 * Introduction
44 * ------------
45 *
46 * The media controller API is documented in DocBook format in
47 * Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/media-controller.xml. This document will focus
48 * on the kernel-side implementation of the media framework.
49 *
50 *
51 * Abstract media device model
52 * ---------------------------
53 *
54 * Discovering a device internal topology, and configuring it at runtime, is one
55 * of the goals of the media framework. To achieve this, hardware devices are
56 * modelled as an oriented graph of building blocks called entities connected
57 * through pads.
58 *
59 * An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to
60 * a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices
61 * (CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block
62 * in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical
63 * connectors.
64 *
65 * A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with
66 * other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
67 * flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should
68 * not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.
69 *
70 * A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either
71 * on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
72 * pad to a sink pad.
73 *
74 *
75 * Media device
76 * ------------
77 *
78 * A media device is represented by a struct media_device instance, defined in
79 * include/media/media-device.h. Allocation of the structure is handled by the
80 * media device driver, usually by embedding the media_device instance in a
81 * larger driver-specific structure.
82 *
83 * Drivers register media device instances by calling
84 *
85 * media_device_register(struct media_device *mdev);
86 *
87 * The caller is responsible for initializing the media_device structure before
88 * registration. The following fields must be set:
89 *
90 * - dev must point to the parent device (usually a pci_dev, usb_interface or
91 * platform_device instance).
92 *
93 * - model must be filled with the device model name as a NUL-terminated UTF-8
94 * string. The device/model revision must not be stored in this field.
95 *
96 * The following fields are optional:
97 *
98 * - serial is a unique serial number stored as a NUL-terminated ASCII string.
99 * The field is big enough to store a GUID in text form. If the hardware
100 * doesn't provide a unique serial number this field must be left empty.
101 *
102 * - bus_info represents the location of the device in the system as a
103 * NUL-terminated ASCII string. For PCI/PCIe devices bus_info must be set to
104 * "PCI:" (or "PCIe:") followed by the value of pci_name(). For USB devices,
105 * the usb_make_path() function must be used. This field is used by
106 * applications to distinguish between otherwise identical devices that don't
107 * provide a serial number.
108 *
109 * - hw_revision is the hardware device revision in a driver-specific format.
110 * When possible the revision should be formatted with the KERNEL_VERSION
111 * macro.
112 *
113 * - driver_version is formatted with the KERNEL_VERSION macro. The version
114 * minor must be incremented when new features are added to the userspace API
115 * without breaking binary compatibility. The version major must be
116 * incremented when binary compatibility is broken.
117 *
118 * Upon successful registration a character device named media[0-9]+ is created.
119 * The device major and minor numbers are dynamic. The model name is exported as
120 * a sysfs attribute.
121 *
122 * Drivers unregister media device instances by calling
123 *
124 * media_device_unregister(struct media_device *mdev);
125 *
126 * Unregistering a media device that hasn't been registered is *NOT* safe.
127 *
128 *
129 * Entities, pads and links
130 * ------------------------
131 *
132 * - Entities
133 *
134 * Entities are represented by a struct media_entity instance, defined in
135 * include/media/media-entity.h. The structure is usually embedded into a
136 * higher-level structure, such as a v4l2_subdev or video_device instance,
137 * although drivers can allocate entities directly.
138 *
139 * Drivers initialize entity pads by calling
140 *
141 * media_entity_pads_init(struct media_entity *entity, u16 num_pads,
142 * struct media_pad *pads);
143 *
144 * If no pads are needed, drivers could directly fill entity->num_pads
145 * with 0 and entity->pads with NULL or to call the above function that
146 * will do the same.
147 *
148 * The media_entity name, type and flags fields should be initialized before
149 * calling media_device_register_entity(). Entities embedded in higher-level
150 * standard structures can have some of those fields set by the higher-level
151 * framework.
152 *
153 * As the number of pads is known in advance, the pads array is not allocated
154 * dynamically but is managed by the entity driver. Most drivers will embed the
155 * pads array in a driver-specific structure, avoiding dynamic allocation.
156 *
157 * Drivers must set the direction of every pad in the pads array before calling
158 * media_entity_pads_init. The function will initialize the other pads fields.
159 *
160 * Unlike the number of pads, the total number of links isn't always known in
161 * advance by the entity driver. As an initial estimate, media_entity_pads_init
162 * pre-allocates a number of links equal to the number of pads. The links array
163 * will be reallocated if it grows beyond the initial estimate.
164 *
165 * Drivers register entities with a media device by calling
166 *
167 * media_device_register_entity(struct media_device *mdev,
168 * struct media_entity *entity);
169 *
170 * Entities are identified by a unique positive integer ID. Drivers can provide an
171 * ID by filling the media_entity id field prior to registration, or request the
172 * media controller framework to assign an ID automatically. Drivers that provide
173 * IDs manually must ensure that all IDs are unique. IDs are not guaranteed to be
174 * contiguous even when they are all assigned automatically by the framework.
175 *
176 * Drivers unregister entities by calling
177 *
178 * media_device_unregister_entity(struct media_entity *entity);
179 *
180 * Unregistering an entity will not change the IDs of the other entities, and the
181 * ID will never be reused for a newly registered entity.
182 *
183 * When a media device is unregistered, all its entities are unregistered
184 * automatically. No manual entities unregistration is then required.
185 *
186 * Drivers free resources associated with an entity by calling
187 *
188 * media_entity_cleanup(struct media_entity *entity);
189 *
190 * This function must be called during the cleanup phase after unregistering the
191 * entity. Note that the media_entity instance itself must be freed explicitly by
192 * the driver if required.
193 *
194 * Entities have flags that describe the entity capabilities and state.
195 *
196 * MEDIA_ENT_FL_DEFAULT indicates the default entity for a given type.
197 * This can be used to report the default audio and video devices or the
198 * default camera sensor.
199 *
200 * Logical entity groups can be defined by setting the group ID of all member
201 * entities to the same non-zero value. An entity group serves no purpose in the
202 * kernel, but is reported to userspace during entities enumeration.
203 *
204 * Media device drivers should define groups if several entities are logically
205 * bound together. Example usages include reporting
206 *
207 * - ALSA, VBI and video nodes that carry the same media stream
208 * - lens and flash controllers associated with a sensor
209 *
210 * - Pads
211 *
212 * Pads are represented by a struct media_pad instance, defined in
213 * include/media/media-entity.h. Each entity stores its pads in a pads array
214 * managed by the entity driver. Drivers usually embed the array in a
215 * driver-specific structure.
216 *
217 * Pads are identified by their entity and their 0-based index in the pads array.
218 * Both information are stored in the media_pad structure, making the media_pad
219 * pointer the canonical way to store and pass link references.
220 *
221 * Pads have flags that describe the pad capabilities and state.
222 *
223 * MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK indicates that the pad supports sinking data.
224 * MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE indicates that the pad supports sourcing data.
225 *
226 * One and only one of MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK and MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE must be set for
227 * each pad.
228 *
229 * - Links
230 *
231 * Links are represented by a struct media_link instance, defined in
232 * include/media/media-entity.h. Each entity stores all links originating at or
233 * targeting any of its pads in a links array. A given link is thus stored
234 * twice, once in the source entity and once in the target entity. The array is
235 * pre-allocated and grows dynamically as needed.
236 *
237 * Drivers create links by calling
238 *
239 * media_create_pad_link(struct media_entity *source, u16 source_pad,
240 * struct media_entity *sink, u16 sink_pad,
241 * u32 flags);
242 *
243 * An entry in the link array of each entity is allocated and stores pointers
244 * to source and sink pads.
245 *
246 * Links have flags that describe the link capabilities and state.
247 *
248 * MEDIA_LNK_FL_ENABLED indicates that the link is enabled and can be used
249 * to transfer media data. When two or more links target a sink pad, only
250 * one of them can be enabled at a time.
251 * MEDIA_LNK_FL_IMMUTABLE indicates that the link enabled state can't be
252 * modified at runtime. If MEDIA_LNK_FL_IMMUTABLE is set, then
253 * MEDIA_LNK_FL_ENABLED must also be set since an immutable link is always
254 * enabled.
255 *
256 *
257 * Graph traversal
258 * ---------------
259 *
260 * The media framework provides APIs to iterate over entities in a graph.
261 *
262 * To iterate over all entities belonging to a media device, drivers can use the
263 * media_device_for_each_entity macro, defined in include/media/media-device.h.
264 *
265 * struct media_entity *entity;
266 *
267 * media_device_for_each_entity(entity, mdev) {
268 * // entity will point to each entity in turn
269 * ...
270 * }
271 *
272 * Drivers might also need to iterate over all entities in a graph that can be
273 * reached only through enabled links starting at a given entity. The media
274 * framework provides a depth-first graph traversal API for that purpose.
275 *
276 * Note that graphs with cycles (whether directed or undirected) are *NOT*
277 * supported by the graph traversal API. To prevent infinite loops, the graph
278 * traversal code limits the maximum depth to MEDIA_ENTITY_ENUM_MAX_DEPTH,
279 * currently defined as 16.
280 *
281 * Drivers initiate a graph traversal by calling
282 *
283 * media_entity_graph_walk_start(struct media_entity_graph *graph,
284 * struct media_entity *entity);
285 *
286 * The graph structure, provided by the caller, is initialized to start graph
287 * traversal at the given entity.
288 *
289 * Drivers can then retrieve the next entity by calling
290 *
291 * media_entity_graph_walk_next(struct media_entity_graph *graph);
292 *
293 * When the graph traversal is complete the function will return NULL.
294 *
295 * Graph traversal can be interrupted at any moment. No cleanup function call is
296 * required and the graph structure can be freed normally.
297 *
298 * Helper functions can be used to find a link between two given pads, or a pad
299 * connected to another pad through an enabled link
300 *
301 * media_entity_find_link(struct media_pad *source,
302 * struct media_pad *sink);
303 *
304 * media_entity_remote_pad(struct media_pad *pad);
305 *
306 * Refer to the kerneldoc documentation for more information.
307 *
308 *
309 * Use count and power handling
310 * ----------------------------
311 *
312 * Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management needs,
313 * the media controller does not implement power management. However, the
314 * media_entity structure includes a use_count field that media drivers can use to
315 * track the number of users of every entity for power management needs.
316 *
317 * The use_count field is owned by media drivers and must not be touched by entity
318 * drivers. Access to the field must be protected by the media device graph_mutex
319 * lock.
320 *
321 *
322 * Links setup
323 * -----------
324 *
325 * Link properties can be modified at runtime by calling
326 *
327 * media_entity_setup_link(struct media_link *link, u32 flags);
328 *
329 * The flags argument contains the requested new link flags.
330 *
331 * The only configurable property is the ENABLED link flag to enable/disable a
332 * link. Links marked with the IMMUTABLE link flag can not be enabled or disabled.
333 *
334 * When a link is enabled or disabled, the media framework calls the
335 * link_setup operation for the two entities at the source and sink of the link,
336 * in that order. If the second link_setup call fails, another link_setup call is
337 * made on the first entity to restore the original link flags.
338 *
339 * Media device drivers can be notified of link setup operations by setting the
340 * media_device::link_notify pointer to a callback function. If provided, the
341 * notification callback will be called before enabling and after disabling
342 * links.
343 *
344 * Entity drivers must implement the link_setup operation if any of their links
345 * is non-immutable. The operation must either configure the hardware or store
346 * the configuration information to be applied later.
347 *
348 * Link configuration must not have any side effect on other links. If an enabled
349 * link at a sink pad prevents another link at the same pad from being enabled,
350 * the link_setup operation must return -EBUSY and can't implicitly disable the
351 * first enabled link.
352 *
353 *
354 * Pipelines and media streams
355 * ---------------------------
356 *
357 * When starting streaming, drivers must notify all entities in the pipeline to
358 * prevent link states from being modified during streaming by calling
359 *
360 * media_entity_pipeline_start(struct media_entity *entity,
361 * struct media_pipeline *pipe);
362 *
363 * The function will mark all entities connected to the given entity through
364 * enabled links, either directly or indirectly, as streaming.
365 *
366 * The media_pipeline instance pointed to by the pipe argument will be stored in
367 * every entity in the pipeline. Drivers should embed the media_pipeline structure
368 * in higher-level pipeline structures and can then access the pipeline through
369 * the media_entity pipe field.
370 *
371 * Calls to media_entity_pipeline_start() can be nested. The pipeline pointer must
372 * be identical for all nested calls to the function.
373 *
374 * media_entity_pipeline_start() may return an error. In that case, it will
375 * clean up any of the changes it did by itself.
376 *
377 * When stopping the stream, drivers must notify the entities with
378 *
379 * media_entity_pipeline_stop(struct media_entity *entity);
380 *
381 * If multiple calls to media_entity_pipeline_start() have been made the same
382 * number of media_entity_pipeline_stop() calls are required to stop streaming. The
383 * media_entity pipe field is reset to NULL on the last nested stop call.
384 *
385 * Link configuration will fail with -EBUSY by default if either end of the link is
386 * a streaming entity. Links that can be modified while streaming must be marked
387 * with the MEDIA_LNK_FL_DYNAMIC flag.
388 *
389 * If other operations need to be disallowed on streaming entities (such as
390 * changing entities configuration parameters) drivers can explicitly check the
391 * media_entity stream_count field to find out if an entity is streaming. This
392 * operation must be done with the media_device graph_mutex held.
393 *
394 *
395 * Link validation
396 * ---------------
397 *
398 * Link validation is performed by media_entity_pipeline_start() for any
399 * entity which has sink pads in the pipeline. The
400 * media_entity::link_validate() callback is used for that purpose. In
401 * link_validate() callback, entity driver should check that the properties of
402 * the source pad of the connected entity and its own sink pad match. It is up
403 * to the type of the entity (and in the end, the properties of the hardware)
404 * what matching actually means.
405 *
406 * Subsystems should facilitate link validation by providing subsystem specific
407 * helper functions to provide easy access for commonly needed information, and
408 * in the end provide a way to use driver-specific callbacks.
