0b3b72df90 [media] media_entity: remove gfp_flags argument
We should not be creating device nodes at IRQ contexts. So,
the only flags we'll be using will be GFP_KERNEL. Let's
remove the gfp_flags, in order to make the interface simpler.

If we ever need it, it would be easy to revert those changes.

While here, remove an extra blank line.

eb83a51768 [media] media-entity: fix backlink removal on __media_entity_remove_link()
The logic is testing if num_links==0 at the wrong place. Due to
that, a backlink may be kept without removal, causing KASAN

a9709e4354 [media] media: don't try to empty links list in media_entity_cleanup()
The media_entity_cleanup() function only cleans up the entity links list
but this operation is already made in media_device_unregister_entity().

In most cases this should be harmless (besides having duplicated code)
since the links list would be empty so the iteration would not happen
but the links list is initialized in media_device_register_entity() so
if a driver fails to register an entity with a media device and clean up
the entity in the error path, a NULL deference pointer error will happen.

So don't try to empty the links list in media_entity_cleanup() since
is either done already or haven't been initialized yet.

a08fad1ec8 [media] media-entity: protect object creation/removal using spin lock
Some parts of the media controller are using mutexes while
others are using spin locks in order to protect creation
and removal of elements in the graph. That's wrong!

Also, the V4L2 core can remove graph elements on non-interactive
context:
	BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched.h:2776

Fix it by always using spin locks for graph element addition/removal,
just like entity creation/removal is protected at media-device.c

9155d859b6 [media] media-device: add pads and links to media_device
The MC next gen API sends objects to userspace grouped by
their types.

In the case of pads and links, in order to improve performance
and have a simpler code, the best is to store them also on
separate linked lists at MC.

If we don't do that, we would need this kind of interaction
to send data to userspace (code is in structured english):

	for each entity:
		for each pad:
			store pads

	for each entity:
		for each link:
			store link

	for each interface:
		for each link:
			store link

With would require one nested loop for pads and two nested
loops for links. By using  separate linked lists for them,
just one loop would be enough.

57208e5e25 [media] media: convert links from array to list
The entire logic that represent graph links were developed on a
time where there were no needs to dynamic remove links. So,
although links are created/removed one by one via some
functions, they're stored as an array inside the entity struct.

As the array may grow, there's a logic inside the code that
checks if the amount of space is not enough to store
the needed links. If it isn't the core uses krealloc()
to change the size of the link, with is bad, as it
leaves the memory fragmented.

So, convert links into a list.

Also, currently,  both source and sink entities need the link
at the graph traversal logic inside media_entity. So there's
a logic duplicating all links. That makes it to spend
twice the memory needed. This is not a big deal for today's
usage, where the number of links are not big.

Yet, if during the MC workshop discussions, it was said that
IIO graphs could have up to 4,000 entities. So, we may
want to remove the duplication on some future. The problem
is that it would require a separate linked list to store
the backlinks inside the entity, or to use a more complex
algorithm to do graph backlink traversal, with is something
that the current graph traversal inside the core can't cope
with. So, let's postpone a such change if/when it is actually
needed.

It should also be noticed that the media_link structure uses
44 bytes on 32-bit architectures and 84 bytes on 64-bit
architecture. It will thus be allocated out of the 64-bytes and
96-bytes pools respectively. That's a 12.5% memory waste on
64-bit architectures and 31.25% on 32-bit architecture.
A linked list is less efficient than an array in this case, but
this could later be optimized if we can get rid of the reverse
links (with would reduce memory allocation by 50%).

to split the current interface embedded inside the entity
structure (device nodes) into a separate object of the graph.

d10c98949d [media] media: use entity.graph_obj.mdev instead of .parent
The struct media_entity has a .parent field that stores a pointer
to the parent struct media_device. But recently a media_gobj was
embedded into the entities and since struct media_gojb already has
a pointer to a struct media_device in the .mdev field, the .parent
field becomes redundant and can be removed.

This patch replaces all the usage of .parent by .graph_obj.mdev so
that field will become unused and can be removed on a later patch.

No functional changes.

The transformation was made using the following coccinelle spatch:

813f5c0ac5 [media] media: Change media device link_notify behaviour
Currently the media device link_notify callback is invoked before the
actual change of state of a link when the link is being enabled, and
after the actual change of state when the link is being disabled.
This doesn't allow a media device driver to perform any operations
on a full graph before a link is disabled, as well as performing
any tasks on a modified graph right after a link's state is changed.
This patch modifies signature of the link_notify callback. This
callback is now called always before and after a link's state change.
To distinguish the notifications a 'notification' argument is added
to the link_notify callback: MEDIA_DEV_NOTIFY_PRE_LINK_CH indicates
notification before link's state change and
MEDIA_DEV_NOTIFY_POST_LINK_CH corresponds to a notification after
link flags change.

The link flags were not properly handled in __media_entity_setup_link
which could lead to link_notify callback to be called when the flags are
not modified. Fix this.

e02188c90f [media] media: Pipelines and media streams
Drivers often need to associate pipeline objects to entities, and to
take stream state into account when configuring entities and links. The
pipeline API helps drivers manage that information.

When starting streaming, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_start(). The
function marks all entities connected to the given entity through
enabled links, either directly or indirectly, as streaming. Similarly,
when stopping the stream, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_stop().

The media_entity_pipeline_start() function takes a pointer to a media
pipeline and stores it in every entity in the graph. Drivers should
embed the media_pipeline structure in higher-level pipeline structures
and can then access the pipeline through the media_entity structure.

Link configuration will fail with -EBUSY by default if either end of the
link is a streaming entity, unless the link is marked with the
MEDIA_LNK_FL_DYNAMIC flag.

97548ed4c4 [media] media: Links setup
Create the following ioctl and implement it at the media device level to
setup links.

- MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK: Modify the properties of a given link

The only property that can currently be modified is the ENABLED link
flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the IMMUTABLE link flag
can not be enabled or disabled.

Enabling or disabling a link has effects on entities' use count. Those
changes are automatically propagated through the graph.

503c3d829e [media] media: Entity use count
Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management
needs, the media controller does not implement power management.
However, the media_entity structure includes a use_count field that
media drivers can use to track the number of users of every entity for
power management needs.

The use_count field is owned by media drivers and must not be touched by
entity drivers. Access to the field must be protected by the media
device graph_mutex lock.

a5ccc48a7c [media] media: Entity graph traversal
Add media entity graph traversal. The traversal follows enabled links by
depth first. Traversing graph backwards is prevented by comparing the next
possible entity in the graph with the previous one. Multiply connected
graphs are thus not supported.

53e269c102 [media] media: Entities, pads and links
As video hardware pipelines become increasingly complex and
configurable, the current hardware description through v4l2 subdevices
reaches its limits. In addition to enumerating and configuring
subdevices, video camera drivers need a way to discover and modify at
runtime how those subdevices are connected. This is done through new
elements called entities, pads and links.

An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to
a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices
(CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block
in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical
connectors.

A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with
other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should
not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.

A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either
on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
pad to a sink pad.

Links are stored in the source entity. To make backwards graph walk
faster, a copy of all links is also stored in the sink entity. The copy
is known as a backlink and is only used to help graph traversal.

The entity API is made of three functions:

- media_entity_init() initializes an entity. The caller must provide an
array of pads as well as an estimated number of links. The links array
is allocated dynamically and will be reallocated if it grows beyond the
initial estimate.

- media_entity_cleanup() frees resources allocated for an entity. It
must be called during the cleanup phase after unregistering the entity
and before freeing it.

- media_entity_create_link() creates a link between two entities. An
entry in the link array of each entity is allocated and stores pointers
to source and sink pads.

When a media device is unregistered, all its entities are unregistered
automatically.

The code is based on Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> initial work.
