In order to avoid such condition, either disable/reconfigure/enable the -module or request the necessary buffer size during the first configuration -while the module is disabled. - -The internal buffer size allocation considers the requested configuration's -minimum buffer size and the value set on buf_size field.

After a configuration is requested, the config_counter returned to user -space application will be an unique value associated to that request. When -user application receives an event for buffer availability or when a new -buffer is requested, this config_counter is used to match a buffer data and a -configuration. - -VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ ------------------------- - -Send to user space the oldest data available in the internal buffer queue and -discards such buffer afterwards.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 - -The Linux USB Video Class (UVC) driver -====================================== - -This file documents some driver-specific aspects of the UVC driver, such as -driver-specific ioctls and implementation notes. - -Questions and remarks can be sent to the Linux UVC development mailing list at -linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de. - - -Extension Unit (XU) support ---------------------------- - -Introduction -~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The UVC specification allows for vendor-specific extensions through extension -units (XUs). The Linux UVC driver supports extension unit controls (XU controls) -through two separate mechanisms: - - - through mappings of XU controls to V4L2 controls - - through a driver-specific ioctl interface - -The first one allows generic V4L2 applications to use XU controls by mapping -certain XU controls onto V4L2 controls, which then show up during ordinary -control enumeration. - -The second mechanism requires uvcvideo-specific knowledge for the application to -access XU controls but exposes the entire UVC XU concept to user space for -maximum flexibility. - -Both mechanisms complement each other and are described in more detail below. - - -Control mappings -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The UVC driver provides an API for user space applications to define so-called -control mappings at runtime. These allow for individual XU controls or byte -ranges thereof to be mapped to new V4L2 controls. Such controls appear and -function exactly like normal V4L2 controls (i.e. the stock controls, such as -brightness, contrast, etc.). However, reading or writing of such a V4L2 controls -triggers a read or write of the associated XU control. - -The ioctl used to create these control mappings is called UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP. -Previous driver versions (before 0.2.0) required another ioctl to be used -beforehand (UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD) to pass XU control information to the UVC driver. -This is no longer necessary as newer uvcvideo versions query the information -directly from the device. - -For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctl please refer to the section titled -"IOCTL reference" below. - - -3. Driver specific XU control interface - -For applications that need to access XU controls directly, e.g. for testing -purposes, firmware upload, or accessing binary controls, a second mechanism to -access XU controls is provided in the form of a driver-specific ioctl, namely -UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY. - -A call to this ioctl allows applications to send queries to the UVC driver that -directly map to the low-level UVC control requests. - -In order to make such a request the UVC unit ID of the control's extension unit -and the control selector need to be known. This information either needs to be -hardcoded in the application or queried using other ways such as by parsing the -UVC descriptor or, if available, using the media controller API to enumerate a -device's entities. - -Unless the control size is already known it is necessary to first make a -UVC_GET_LEN requests in order to be able to allocate a sufficiently large buffer -and set the buffer size to the correct value. Similarly, to find out whether -UVC_GET_CUR or UVC_SET_CUR are valid requests for a given control, a -UVC_GET_INFO request should be made. The bits 0 (GET supported) and 1 (SET -supported) of the resulting byte indicate which requests are valid. - -With the addition of the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl the UVCIOC_CTRL_GET and -UVCIOC_CTRL_SET ioctls have become obsolete since their functionality is a -subset of the former ioctl. For the time being they are still supported but -application developers are encouraged to use UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY instead. - -For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl please refer to the section titled -"IOCTL reference" below. - - -Security -~~~~~~~~ - -The API doesn't currently provide a fine-grained access control facility. The -UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD and UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctls require super user permissions. - -Suggestions on how to improve this are welcome. - - -Debugging -~~~~~~~~~ - -In order to debug problems related to XU controls or controls in general it is -recommended to enable the UVC_TRACE_CONTROL bit in the module parameter 'trace'. -This causes extra output to be written into the system log. - - -IOCTL reference -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP - Map a UVC control to a V4L2 control -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Argument: struct uvc_xu_control_mapping - -**Description**: - - This ioctl creates a mapping between a UVC control or part of a UVC - control and a V4L2 control. Once mappings are defined, userspace - applications can access vendor-defined UVC control through the V4L2 - control API. - - To create a mapping, applications fill the uvc_xu_control_mapping - structure with information about an existing UVC control defined with - UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD and a new V4L2 control. - - A UVC control can be mapped to several V4L2 controls. For instance, - a UVC pan/tilt control could be mapped to separate pan and tilt V4L2 - controls. The UVC control is divided into non overlapping fields using - the 'size' and 'offset' fields and are then independently mapped to - V4L2 control. - - For signed integer V4L2 controls the data_type field should be set to - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_SIGNED. Other values are currently ignored. - -**Return value**: - - On success 0 is returned. On error -1 is returned and errno is set - appropriately. - - ENOMEM - Not enough memory to perform the operation. - EPERM - Insufficient privileges (super user privileges are required). - EINVAL - No such UVC control. - EOVERFLOW - The requested offset and size would overflow the UVC control. - EEXIST - Mapping already exists. - -**Data types**: - -.. code-block:: none - - * struct uvc_xu_control_mapping - - __u32 id V4L2 control identifier - __u8 name[32] V4L2 control name - __u8 entity[16] UVC extension unit GUID - __u8 selector UVC control selector - __u8 size V4L2 control size (in bits) - __u8 offset V4L2 control offset (in bits) - enum v4l2_ctrl_type - v4l2_type V4L2 control type - enum uvc_control_data_type - data_type UVC control data type - struct uvc_menu_info - *menu_info Array of menu entries (for menu controls only) - __u32 menu_count Number of menu entries (for menu controls only) - - * struct uvc_menu_info - - __u32 value Menu entry value used by the device - __u8 name[32] Menu entry name - - - * enum uvc_control_data_type - - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_RAW Raw control (byte array) - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_SIGNED Signed integer - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_UNSIGNED Unsigned integer - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN Boolean - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_ENUM Enumeration - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BITMASK Bitmask - - -UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY - Query a UVC XU control -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -Argument: struct uvc_xu_control_query - -**Description**: - - This ioctl queries a UVC XU control identified by its extension unit ID - and control selector. - - There are a number of different queries available that closely - correspond to the low-level control requests described in the UVC - specification. These requests are: - - UVC_GET_CUR - Obtain the current value of the control. - UVC_GET_MIN - Obtain the minimum value of the control. - UVC_GET_MAX - Obtain the maximum value of the control. - UVC_GET_DEF - Obtain the default value of the control. - UVC_GET_RES - Query the resolution of the control, i.e. the step size of the - allowed control values. - UVC_GET_LEN - Query the size of the control in bytes. - UVC_GET_INFO - Query the control information bitmap, which indicates whether - get/set requests are supported. - UVC_SET_CUR - Update the value of the control. - - Applications must set the 'size' field to the correct length for the - control. Exceptions are the UVC_GET_LEN and UVC_GET_INFO queries, for - which the size must be set to 2 and 1, respectively. The 'data' field - must point to a valid writable buffer big enough to hold the indicated - number of data bytes. - - Data is copied directly from the device without any driver-side - processing. Applications are responsible for data buffer formatting, - including little-endian/big-endian conversion. This is particularly - important for the result of the UVC_GET_LEN requests, which is always - returned as a little-endian 16-bit integer by the device. - -**Return value**: - - On success 0 is returned. On error -1 is returned and errno is set - appropriately. - - ENOENT - The device does not support the given control or the specified - extension unit could not be found. - ENOBUFS - The specified buffer size is incorrect (too big or too small). - EINVAL - An invalid request code was passed. - EBADRQC - The given request is not supported by the given control. - EFAULT - The data pointer references an inaccessible memory area. - -**Data types**: - -.. code-block:: none - - * struct uvc_xu_control_query - - __u8 unit Extension unit ID - __u8 selector Control selector - __u8 query Request code to send to the device - __u16 size Control data size (in bytes) - __u8 *data Control value |
