[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] libcamera: V4L2BufferCache: Improve cache eviction strategy

[Niklas Söderlund]

Hello,

This small series improves the function of the V4L2BufferCache and how
it selects which cache entries to evict. This solves a real issue where 
if the cache is not pre-allocated the cache can perform suboptimally and 
not utilise all the entries in the cache.

Patch 1/4 fix an error in the test class BufferSource found as code in 
v1 of this series was based on it. 2/4 Extracts the BufferSource from 
the camera buffer import test so it can be used in 3/4 where the test 
for the V4L2BufferCache is added. Patch 3/4 also add tests which breaks 
without the improved cache eviction strategy introduced in 4/4.

  test: Extract BufferSource class out of camera tests to libtest
  test: v4l2_videodevice: Add test for V4L2BufferCache
