This re-enables H.264 error detection, but using the other error mode.
In that mode, the decoder will skip over the error macro-block or
slices and complete the decoding. As a side effect, the error status
is not set in the interrupt status register, and instead errors are
detected per format. Using this mode workaround the issue that the
HW get stuck in error stated and allow reporting that some corruption
may be present in the buffer returned to userland.

This reverts the changes in patch 1/5. Could we just skip patch 1/5
instead?

The first patch must go to the stable kernels, hence we couldn't skip it.

Hi Nicolas,
Great stuff! See below for some ideas how to expose errors.

It's more useful friendly to just keep a counter somewhere. In the past,
we've created a user control, which has the advantage of leveraging
an existing mechanism, and already being per-fd.
See:
commit b2d3bef1aa7858b2ae5e0d01adb214121ba00b9f
"media: coda: Add a V4L2 user for control error macroblocks count".
I would drop the pr_debug, or if you think it's really useful for users
and developers, go with v4l2_dbg. In which case, how do you ensure
a corrupted stream won't flood the logs?

Ezequiel

As documented, this is for back-porting purpose. The first patch is what has
been running for 7 years in Chromebook, so I'm fully confident it is safe to
backport it into our stable kernel. The second is like a new feature, which I'm
confident works, but didn't get as much testing as I just wrote it. So what I'm
doing here is giving a same thing to backport, and a better fix for the next
kernel. You are otherwise right that this will revert it.

There is no use case to make this a control, but yes, a corrupted stream can
flood, but isn't the point of pr_debug() that it won't show if you don't enabled
it ?
As for v4l2_dbg I'm not familiar with that and its not used in this driver for
traces. I've use pr_debug for reference list tracing previously and flooding was
not considered a problem despite being a per-frame trace. You can even out-
compile these if you need to.
Let me know if you have further rationale in the suggestion direction. The
rationale in my coding for such trace is that if I read 1 bit of a register, and
trace the surrounding value, I can validate (as a human) that the rest of the
register isn't complete garbage, and that I'm not basically reading a random
bit. Leaving the trace there, allow other developer on other variant of these
SoC to also notice if that register becomes garbage. This is in contrast of just
telling others "trust me, I tested it".

Actually I'm not sure I fully understand what you are expecting the
userspace to do with the information that there was an (HW!) error,
which might or might not be bitstrean related. Resending the
corrupted(?) frame until the HW fully hangs?
As the interrupt reports an HW error it should (at least also) be
handled driver-side and the HW is known not to be able to fully reset
itself in case of an error.
I think this will make behavior worse than it is now (for real-life
users) where errors are eventually just ignored.

I've changed the decoding mode, see bit 19 or swreg1. In that mode, the decoder
will behave just like if error detection was off. It will just keep going and
produce "something". With the set of corrupted streams we had, we found that the
decoder no longer get stuck, and we are aware of the possibly corrupted buffers.
In current mode, the decoder tries to stop as soon as an error is met, which
most of the time means nothing is every written to the buffer. And as you
mention, it often fail at "self reset".
In streaming there is two style of handling corrupted buffers, one is to skip
until valid state, and the other is to show them even if corrupted. In stack
like GStreamer we just flag the corrupted frames based on the ERROR flag (unless
payload size is 0) and let the user chose to drop them or not.

Just ignoring the errors is way better then an infinite row of errors. At the
moment, FFMPEG/Chromium and GStreamer ignores errors indeed. I got some work in
progress patch in GStreamer I've used to test this, but its not ready yet. In
the current behaviour, if you hit an error, you basically have 9 chances out of
10 to keep replaying ancient buffers in loop till the end of time. This is
because the self reset never completes, and you get the same error over and over
regardless what you pass to the decoder.

p.s. the tests should land (if not already) in ChromeOS taste suite.
