@triskelion We don't use SPDX-FileCopyRightText.

Finally found a Zed theme that I love :-) #zed #editor

IMHO, this tells that “it’s about time”:

The new URL for video-loop.ko:

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/linux-video-loop

Smoke test:

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/video-loop-test

#linux #kernel #media #video #loopback

Removed in the end all of "ATTRIBUTES" in https://github.com/v4l2loopback/v4l2loopback/blob/main/README.md.

Even in the case they would make sense, they can be left out, so not much analysis needed for scraping them.

The kref change was internal prequel, and this first API break is the external prequel:

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note */

#ifndef _UAPI_LINUX_VIDEO_LOOP_H
#define _UAPI_LINUX_VIDEO_LOOP_H

#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/ioctl.h>

struct video_loop_config {
	__u32 device_nr;
	__u32 device_fd;
	__u32 capabilities;
	__u32 min_width;
	__u32 max_width;
	__u32 min_height;
	__u32 max_height;
	char card_label[32];
};

#define VIDEO_LOOP_CTL_ADD _IOW('v', 0x00, struct video_loop_config)
#define VIDEO_LOOP_CTL_REMOVE _IOW('v', 0x01, __u32)

#endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_VIDEO_LOOP_H */

If you have any comments on the fields, please spare me dude ;-) I don’t expect this to be final as in FINAL. It is good enough for RFC.

Glitches that will be fixed by anonymous inode:

1. device_fd is still unfilled.

2. capabilities accepts right now only V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT.

3. For obvious reasons, VIDEO_LOOP_CTL_REMOVE is ought to be deleted.

Two small steps forward with the video loopback driver:

1. Internally use kref + release life-cycle. This is a prequel for anonymous inode.
2. Delete timeout and timeout_image attributes. In the anonymous inode based the user space driver for /dev/videoX is responsible for this.
3. Rename the device as /dev/video_loop.
4. Subscribed to linux-media@vger.kernel.org, as it is always good to start follow the discussion on other patch sets some time before your sending a feature patch set. For instance, some useful gray information might stick to you by accident…

#linux #kernel #media

That said, I still don't get why DMA patch set not reject as per no caller policy (could be that I TLDR'd the thread), i.e. "please come back, once you have a caller, thank you".

This is weird:

When the comedy writes itself: "Maintainer opinions on Rust-for-Linux"

@vbabka to add, i'll also need to tell my new employer opinsys to order one to the shelf at the office.

@vbabka yea i know thus i have so many early access preorders such as art of assembly's arm edition :-) i'll usually have at least one book that i get in the near proximity of my dirty hands, thus that three per order count...

After years of hard work, countless reviews, and tons of community testing, we're happy to share that dynamic buffering has landed in Mutter for GNOME 48!

This improves the smoothness of GNOME across a wide range of hardware and software setups.

Thanks to everyone involved in this collaboration! Special thanks to author Daniel van Vugt from Canonical and reviewers Jonas Ådahl and Michel Dänzer from Red Hat.

@vbabka ah ok cool, already put to basket waiting for >= 3 books threshold to fill ;-)

@vbabka ordered two weeks ago total six books from no starch including some pre-orders such as "The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1" and "Building a Debugger" but missed this one! I guess it is soon time for +1 order :-)
