/** \page page_dma_buf DMA-BUF sharing
|
|
|
|
PipeWire supports sharing Direct Memory Access buffers (DMA-BUFs) between
|
|
clients via the `SPA_DATA_DmaBuf` data type. However properly negociating
|
|
DMA-BUF support on both the producer and the consumer side require following
|
|
a specific procedure. This page describes said procedure.
|
|
|
|
# Stream parameters
|
|
|
|
The stream parameters should contain two `SPA_PARAM_EnumFormat` objects: the
|
|
first one is used for DMA-BUFs, the second one for shared memory buffers as a
|
|
fallback.
|
|
|
|
Query the list of all supported modifiers from your graphics API of choice.
|
|
Add a `SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_modifier` property to the first stream parameter with
|
|
the flags `SPA_POD_PROP_FLAG_MANDATORY | SPA_POD_PROP_FLAG_DONT_FIXATE`. The
|
|
value of the property should be set to a `SPA_CHOICE_Enum` containing once
|
|
`long` choice per supported modifier, plus `DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID` if the
|
|
graphics API supports modifier-less buffers.
|
|
|
|
The second stream parameter should not contain any `SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_modifier`
|
|
property.
|
|
|
|
# `param_changed` hook for `SPA_PARAM_Format`
|
|
|
|
Use `spa_pod_find_prop(param, NULL, SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_modifier)` to check
|
|
whether modifiers were negotiated. If they were negotiated, set the
|
|
`SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_dataType` property to `1 << SPA_DATA_DmaBuf`. If they were
|
|
not negotiated, fall back to shared memory.
|
|
|
|
## For producers
|
|
|
|
When allocating a buffer, collect all possible modifiers from the
|
|
`SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_modifier` property and pass them all to the graphics API.
|
|
If the allocation fails and the list of possible modifiers contains
|
|
`DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID`, fall back to allocating without an explicit modifier
|
|
if the graphics API allows it.
|
|
|
|
Once a buffer has been allocated, update the `SPA_PARAM_Format` parameter of
|
|
the stream. Set the `SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_modifier` property to the modifier of the
|
|
buffer as `long`. Set the `SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_stride` to the stride of the
|
|
buffer.
|
|
|
|
## For consumers
|
|
|
|
Use `spa_format_video_raw_parse` to get the final stride and modifier.
|
|
|
|
# For consumers: `add_buffer` hook
|
|
|
|
Get the DMA-BUF FD and import it to the graphics API. If the modifier is not
|
|
`DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID`, provide the modifier to the graphics API. If the
|
|
modifier is `DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID`, import the DMA-BUF without an explicit
|
|
modifier if the graphics API allows it.
