[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 10/10] libcamera: ipu3: Allow zero-copy RAW stream capture

Tue Jun 23 04:09:30 CEST 2020


With the refactored CIO2 interface it's now easy to add zero-copy for
buffers in the RAW stream. Use the internally allocated buffers inside
the CIO2Device if no buffer for the RAW stream is provided by the
application, or use the application-provided buffer if any.

---
* Changes since v2
- Add todo of potential common need code.

* Changes since v1
- Update comments.
- Use Request::findBuffer() instead of own logic.
