The main change is to extend the \nIPAInterface with a start() and stop() method that can deal with things \nas starting threads or allocating resources needed by the IPA in tandem \nwith the camera start and stop.\n\nThe series is a mix of patches to the rkisp1 pipeline handler solving \nissues uncovered by running the IPA in a separate thread, adding the IPA \nstart() and stop() methods and integrating them with Laurent's work to \nrun open-source IPAs in a thread.\n\nLaurent Pinchart (1):\n  libcamera: ipa_manager: Proxy open-source IPAs to a thread\n\nNiklas Söderlund (6):\n  ipa: Add start() and stop() operations\n  libcamera: pipeline: rkisp1: Queue parameters even if they are not\n    ready\n  libcamera: pipeline: rkisp1: Initialize IPA\n  libcamera: pipeline: rkisp1: Do not try to process cancelled frames\n  libcamera: pipeline: rkisp1: Call IPA start() and stop()\n  libcamera: pipeline: vimc: Call IPA start() and stop()\n\n include/ipa/ipa_interface.h                 |   4 +\n include/ipa/ipa_vimc.h                      |   2 +\n src/ipa/libipa/ipa_interface_wrapper.cpp    |  16 +++\n src/ipa/libipa/ipa_interface_wrapper.h      |   2 +\n src/ipa/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp                   |   2 +\n src/ipa/vimc/vimc.cpp                       |  20 +++\n src/libcamera/include/ipa_context_wrapper.h |   2 +\n src/libcamera/ipa_context_wrapper.cpp       |  26 ++++\n src/libcamera/ipa_manager.cpp               |  48 +++----\n src/libcamera/pipeline/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp    |  53 ++++++-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/vimc/vimc.cpp        |   8 ++\n src/libcamera/proxy/ipa_proxy_linux.cpp     |   2 +\n src/libcamera/proxy/ipa_proxy_thread.cpp    | 144 ++++++++++++++++++++\n src/libcamera/proxy/meson.build             |   1 +\n test/ipa/ipa_interface_test.cpp             |  24 ++++\n test/ipa/ipa_wrappers_test.cpp              |  25 +++-\n 16 files changed, 344 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/proxy/ipa_proxy_thread.cpp"
