[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2] ipa: ipu3: Add a IPAFrameContext queue

Tue Dec 14 19:43:23 CET 2021


Having a single IPAFrameContext queue is limiting especially when
we need to preserve per-frame controls. Right now, we are not processing
any controls on the IPA side (processControls()) but sooner or later
we need to preserve the controls setting for the frames in a sequential
fashion. Since IPAIPU3::processControls() is executed on
IPU3CameraData::queuePendingRequests() code path, we need to store the
incoming control setting in a separate IPAFrameContext and push that
into the queue.

The controls for the next frame to be processed by the IPA are retrieved
back from the queue in parseStatistics() and set via setControls().
Meanwhile, the last IPAFrameContext is preserved as prevFrameContext to
populate the metadata (for ActionMetadataReady).

Changes in v2:
- Fix over-exposed image stream issue explained in v1.
  The issue was non-initialized data being used in the frameContext.
