[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v6 0/7] Async Post Processor

[Umang Jain]

This series primarily introduces a Thread worker class along
with a queue, in which request for post-process of streams
are queued and processed ansychronously. All the context information
is carried via Camera3RequestDescriptor.

1/7 and 2/7 are improved !nullptr checks that were spotted in previous
review.

3/7 under takes a refactor of splitting Camera3RequestDescriptor::Status
to denote only status(success/error). The "pending" status is de-coupled
into a separate variable now.

4/7 Consolidates all the information we need to run the post-processor
into Camera3RequestDescriptor::Stream. Now use this structure only and
update signature of PostProcessor::process() vfunc.

5/7 Introduces a post-processing request tracking std::map and a signal
of completion. The tracking map will help us to know if there are
multiple post-processing streams per descriptor (i.e. capture request).
If so, we need to wait, track until all streams are processed. Only
then we can mark descriptor for completion.

6/7 is a small inherent patch based on 5/7's change 

7/7 is where a post-processor's worker class is introduced. At this
point, the post-processor will run asynchronously.
