[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 3/3] ipa: ipu3: Add a IPAFrameContext queue

Umang Jain umang.jain at ideasonboard.com
Thu Mar 10 21:51:30 CET 2022


Having a single IPAFrameContext queue is limiting especially when
we need to preserve per-frame controls coming in through
libcamera::Request. 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 the context in a
retrievable fashion. Hence a std::deque is introduced to preserve
the frame context of the incoming request's settings as soon as it is
queued.

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 IPAFrameContext is then dropped when processing for
that frame has been finished.
