Currently vivid supports the Request API, but it also sets min_buffers_needed in the vb2 queue. But the combination of support_requests and min_buffers_needed is not allowed due to the fact that vb2_core_qbuf() isn't supposed to fail when called from the request framework. And if min_buffers_needed > 0, then is can call start_streaming() which definitely can fail. With the new module option you can control if requests are not allowed (min_buffers_needed is 2 in that case), optionally allowed or are required. In the latter two cases min_buffers_needed is set to 0. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
