[PATCH v9 00/53] Add DELETE_BUF ioctl

Unlike when resolution change on keyframes, dynamic resolution change
on inter frames doesn't allow to do a stream off/on sequence because
it is need to keep all previous references alive to decode inter frames.
This constraint have two main problems:
- more memory consumption.
- more buffers in use.
To solve these issue this series introduce DELETE_BUFS ioctl and remove
the 32 buffers limit per queue.

VP9 conformance tests using fluster give a score of 210/305.
The 24 resize inter tests (vp90-2-21-resize_inter_* files) are ok
but require to use postprocessor.

Kernel branch is available here:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/benjamin.gaignard/for-upstream/-/commits/remove_vb2_queue_limit_v9

GStreamer branch to use DELETE_BUF ioctl and testing dynamic resolution
change is here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/benjamin.gaignard1/gstreamer/-/commits/VP9_drc

changes in version 9:
- BUFFER_INDEX_MASK now depends on PAGE_SHIFT value to match
  architectures requirements.
- Correctly initialize max_num_buffers in vb2_core_queue_init()
- run 'test-media -kmemleak mc' on top of the series and on patches 1 to 47 without failures.
- fix compilation issue in patch 50

changes in version 8:
- Add V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_SET_MAX_BUFS and new 'max_buffers' field in v4l2_create_buffers
  structure to report the maximum number of buffers that a queue could allocate.
- Add V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_DELETE_BUFS to indicate that a queue support
  DELETE_BUFS ioctl.
- Make some test drivers use more than 32 buffers and DELETE_BUFS ioctl.
- Fix remarks done by Hans
- Move "media: core: Rework how create_buf index returned value is
  computed" patch to the top of the serie.

changes in version 7:
- Use a bitmap to know which entries are valid in queue bufs array.
  The number of buffers in the queue could must calculated from the
  bitmap so num_buffers becomes useless. This led to add quite few
  patches to remove it from all the drivers.
  Note: despiste my attention I may have miss some calls to
  num_buffers...
- Split patches to make them more readable.
- Run v4l2-compliance with additional delete-bufs tests.
- Run ./test-media -kmemleak vivid and no more failures.
  Note: I had to remove USERPTR streaming test because they to much
  frequentely hit get_framevec bug. It is not related to my series
  since this happens all the time on master branch.
- Fix Hans remarks on v6

changes in version 6:
- Get a patch per driver to use vb2_get_buffer() instead of directly access
  to queue buffers array.
- Add lock in vb2_core_delete_buf()
- Use vb2_buffer instead of index
- Fix various comments
- Change buffer index name to BUFFER_INDEX_MASK
- Stop spamming kernel log with unbalanced counters

changes in version 5:
- Rework offset cookie encoding pattern is n ow the first patch of the
  serie.
- Use static array instead of allocated one for postprocessor buffers.

changes in version 4:
- Stop using Xarray, instead let queues decide about their own maximum
  number of buffer and allocate bufs array given that value.
- Rework offset cookie encoding pattern.
- Change DELETE_BUF to DELETE_BUFS because it now usable for
  range of buffer to be symetrical of CREATE_BUFS.
- Add fixes tags on couple of Verisilicon related patches.
- Be smarter in Verisilicon postprocessor buffers management.
- Rebase on top of v6.4

changes in version 3:
- Use Xarray API to store allocated video buffers.
- No module parameter to limit the number of buffer per queue.
- Use Xarray inside Verisilicon driver to store postprocessor buffers
  and remove VB2_MAX_FRAME limit.
- Allow Versilicon driver to change of resolution while streaming
- Various fixes the Verisilicon VP9 code to improve fluster score.
 
changes in version 2:
- Use a dynamic array and not a list to keep trace of allocated buffers.
  Not use IDR interface because it is marked as deprecated in kernel
  documentation.
- Add a module parameter to limit the number of buffer per queue.
- Add DELETE_BUF ioctl and m2m helpers.

Benjamin
