[RFC][PATCHv2 05/12] videobuf2: handle V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT flag

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Mon Feb 03 2020 - 21:57:11 EST


This patch lets user-space to request a non-consistent memory
allocation during CREATE_BUFS and REQBUFS ioctl calls.

= CREATE_BUFS

struct v4l2_create_buffers has seven 4-byte reserved areas,
so reserved[0] is renamed to ->flags. The struct, thus, now
has six reserved 4-byte regions.

= REQBUFS

We use one bit of a ->reserved[1] member of struct v4l2_requestbuffers,
which is now renamed to ->flags. Unlike v4l2_create_buffers, struct
v4l2_requestbuffers does not have enough reserved room. Therefore for
backward compatibility ->reserved and ->flags were put into anonymous
union.
