Hi!

This series looks very good and I plan to test it shortly on Cedrus, 
but

I

have one major concern below.

The number of 'entry point offset' can be very variable.
Instead of using a large static array define a v4l2 dynamic array
of U32 (V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_U32).
The number of entry point offsets is reported by the elems field
and in struct v4l2_ctrl_hevc_slice_params.num_entry_point_offsets
field.
Slice control by itself is variable length array, so you would actually
need
quoted
quoted
quoted
2D variable array for entry points which is not supported. However, 
easy
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
workaround for that is to flatten 2D array to 1D and either have another
slice
quoted
quoted
quoted
control field which would tell first entry point index for convenience or
let
quoted
quoted
quoted
driver calculate it by adding up all num_entry_point_offsets of previous
slices.

Hans, what do you think?
If I would support 2D variable array sizes, wouldn't that be more 
elegant?
quoted
quoted
quoted
The current implementation doesn't support that, but as the commit log 
for
quoted
quoted
quoted
patch 1/17 says:

"Currently dynamically sized arrays are limited to one dimensional 
arrays,
quoted
quoted
quoted
but that might change in the future if there is a need for it."

Let me know if you agree, and I'll try to implement this. It's been a
while
quoted
quoted
since I last looked at this, so I'm not sure how much work it is, but it
is
quoted
quoted
probably worth a shot.
Digging more into this made me realize that this doesn't actually help 
for
quoted
this
quoted
particular case.

I would lean towards your second suggestion of adding up all
num_entry_point_offsets
quoted
of previous slices.
Just one question/clarification about dynamic arrays - does driver need to
reserve maximum amount of memory for dynamic array control at 
initialization
quoted
time? If so, this would still be problematic, since there cound be a huge
amount of entry points in theory.
When adding the control the driver could set .dims field to specify
the max number of accepted slices.
I have added '#define V4L2_HEVC_SLICE_MAX_COUNT 600' that you could use
for this field. It is the value we have found when using slices with RKVDEC
driver.
Is this maximum value applicable only to RKVDEC or is universal? Anyway, this 
means maximum offset points control for Cedrus would be 600 * 1024 (max. offset 
points supported per slice) * 4 ~= 2.4 MB, which is a lot for one control, but 
I can live with that...

Jernej

Note, it seems that H265 decoding on Cedrus still works without entry
points,
quoted
quoted
quoted
so this problem can be solved later. I'm not sure what we lose with 
that
quoted
but
quoted
quoted
quoted
it was suggested that this could influence speed or error resilience or
both.
quoted
quoted
quoted
However, I think we're close to solve it, so I'd like to do that now.
