Subject: [PATCH v6 17/18] media: v4l2: Add DELETE_BUFS ioctl

VIDIOC_DELETE_BUFS ioctl allows to delete buffers from a queue.
The number of buffers to delete in given by count field of
struct v4l2_delete_buffers and the range start at the index
specified in the same structure.

v6:
- Add lock in vb2_core_delete_buf()
- Fix typo and comments
- Add flags in VIDIOC_DELETE_BUFS decalaration

This also means that you need to add patches adding delete_bufs support to
vivid, vim2m, vimc, vicodec, visl.

That allows test-media together with v4l2-compliance to do a good job of
regression testing this new ioctl.

Hans

I'm undecided on this. It's something we can decide later.

That's what I had in mind. It is an option to keep a bitmap to keep track
of which buffer indices are in use. You could use bitmap_find_next_zero_area
to find the free range.

Just an option.
