Subject: [PATCH 5/8] media: cedrus: Detect first slice of a frame

When codec supports multiple slices in one frame, VPU has to know when
first slice of each frame is being processed, presumably to correctly
clear/set data in auxiliary buffers.

Add first_slice field to cedrus_run structure and set it according to
timestamps of capture and output buffers. If timestamps are different,
it's first slice and viceversa.

Can't we use slice->first_mb_in_slice to determine if a slice is the
first? I'd expect ->first_mb_in_slice to be 0 (unless we decide to
support ASO).

I'm not sure if that is always the case, I would have to check the standard.
Anyway, this method of comparing timestamps was suggested to me a while ago
when we were discussing details on a way forward for multi-slice decoding. I
highly doubt someone would decode slices in mixed order (from different frames)
in same instance.

I can change that in next version if ->first_mb_in_slice == 0 is always true
for the first slice.

Jernej

I looked in all VPU documentation available to me (which isn't much) and there
is no indication if ASO is supported or not. Do you have any sample video with
out-of-order slices? It's my understanding that this is uncommon. If it's
supported, I would leave code as-is.

I'm not entirely sure, but my understanding was that it might be used
when streaming over network where some packets might be lost and
re-emitted later on.

I remember seeing the ASO acronym mentioned in the hantro G1 spec, but
at the same time we're doing frame-based decoding, so I guess the HW
block expects slices to be ordered in that case. Honestly I don't know,
so let's keep the code as-is.

This is almost correct. To handle the corner case where no timestamp
was ever copied to run.dst->vb2_buf you need this check:

run.first_slice = !run.dst->vb2_buf.copied_timestamp ||
run.src->vb2_buf.timestamp != run.dst->vb2_buf.timestamp;

We had an ASO interrupt when we tried to do slice decoding rather then
frame. I believe on Hantro, the way to do ASO is to actually re-order
in software.

ASO is a feature of baseline profile use to reduce latency. As an
example, VA-API does not support baseline profile (only constrained-
baseline, which excludes ASO).
