[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v1 0/6] Raspberry Pi: Efficient start/stop/start sequences

[Naushir Patuck]

Hi,

This series addresses a problem with the existing Raspberry Pi pipeline handler,
were we do not efficiently handle a camera start/stop/restart sequence. This is
because we de-allocate and re-allocate buffers on stop and start respectively.
However, since no camera configure has occurred, the re-allocation is unnecessary.

This series attempts to fix this by not de-allocating buffers on a stop, and
only re-allocating on start if a configure has been called in-between. We also
fix a small bug in the V4L2 buffer cache, which does not clear state on a stop
in all circumstances.

Thanks,
Naush
