Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int request_fd, MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE )
|
|
:name: MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``request_fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
If the media device supports :ref:`requests <media-request-api>`, then
|
|
this request ioctl can be used to queue a previously allocated request.
|
|
|
|
If the request was successfully queued, then the file descriptor can be
|
|
:ref:`polled <request-func-poll>` to wait for the request to complete.
|
|
|
|
If the request was already queued before, then ``EBUSY`` is returned.
|
|
Other errors can be returned if the contents of the request contained
|
|
invalid or inconsistent data, see the next section for a list of
|
|
common error codes. On error both the request and driver state are unchanged.
|
|
|
|
Once a request is queued, then the driver is required to gracefully handle
|
|
errors that occur when the request is applied to the hardware. The
|
|
exception is the ``EIO`` error which signals a fatal error that requires
|
|
the application to stop streaming to reset the hardware state.
|
|
|
|
It is not allowed to mix queuing requests with queuing buffers directly
|
|
(without a request). ``EBUSY`` will be returned if the first buffer was
|
|
queued directly and you next try to queue a request, or vice versa.
|
|
|
|
A request must contain at least one buffer, otherwise this ioctl will
|
|
return an ``ENOENT`` error.
|
|
|
|
Return Value
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
|
|
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
|
|
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
|
|
|
|
EBUSY
|
|
The request was already queued or the application queued the first
|
|
buffer directly, but later attempted to use a request. It is not permitted
|
|
to mix the two APIs.
|
|
ENOENT
|
|
The request did not contain any buffers. All requests are required
|
|
to have at least one buffer. This can also be returned if some required
|
|
configuration is missing in the request.
|
|
ENOMEM
|
|
Out of memory when allocating internal data structures for this
|
|
request.
|
|
EINVAL
|
|
The request has invalid data.
|
|
EIO
|
|
The hardware is in a bad state. To recover, the application needs to
|
|
stop streaming to reset the hardware state and then try to restart
|
|
streaming.
