From 62a4d065ed7bd117d869fd8bcb61274c2870ddf5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dufresne Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:53:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] videodec: Don't use non-growable pool As we don't know how many output buffers we need to operate, we need to avoid pool that can't grow. Otherwise the pipeline may stall, waiting for buffers. For now, we require it to be able to grow to at least 32 buffers, which I think is a fair amount of buffers for decoders. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726299 Commit 2a337d926cc30cd7eaae13a4b46eea68ba89e368 in master branch Upstream Status: Backported Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dufresne --- ext/libav/gstavviddec.c | 22 +++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ext/libav/gstavviddec.c b/ext/libav/gstavviddec.c index 6c9c0c9..d80fd52 100644 --- a/ext/libav/gstavviddec.c +++ b/ext/libav/gstavviddec.c @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_EXTERN (GST_CAT_PERFORMANCE); #define DEFAULT_DIRECT_RENDERING TRUE #define DEFAULT_DEBUG_MV FALSE #define DEFAULT_MAX_THREADS 0 +#define REQUIRED_POOL_MAX_BUFFERS 32 enum { @@ -1620,7 +1621,7 @@ gst_ffmpegviddec_decide_allocation (GstVideoDecoder * decoder, GstQuery * query) GstBufferPool *pool; guint size, min, max; GstStructure *config; - gboolean have_videometa, have_alignment; + gboolean have_videometa, have_alignment, update_pool; GstAllocator *allocator = NULL; GstAllocationParams params = { 0, 15, 0, 0, }; @@ -1639,6 +1640,22 @@ gst_ffmpegviddec_decide_allocation (GstVideoDecoder * decoder, GstQuery * query) gst_query_parse_nth_allocation_pool (query, 0, &pool, &size, &min, &max); + /* Don't use pool that can't grow, as we don't know how many buffer we'll + * need, otherwise we may stall */ + if (max != 0 && max < REQUIRED_POOL_MAX_BUFFERS) { + gst_object_unref (pool); + pool = gst_video_buffer_pool_new (); + max = 0; + update_pool = TRUE; + + /* if there is an allocator, also drop it, as it might be the reason we + * have this limit.
