    "content": "The uvcvideo driver needs to open / close its /dev/video# node from\npipe_->acquireDevices() / pipe_->releaseDevices().\n\nV4L2VideoDevice::open() creates an EventNotifier and this notifier needs\nto be created from the CameraManager thread.\n\nUse invokeMethod() for pipe_->acquire() and pipe_->release() so that\nthe EventNotifiers are created from the CameraManager thread context.\n\nRunning pipe_->acquire() and pipe_->release() from the CameraManager\nthread context serializes all calls to them. Drop PipelineHandler::lock_\nthis now is no longer necessary and update the \"\\context\" part of\nthe documentation for acquire[Device]() and release[Device]() to match.\n\nNote the delayed opening of /dev/video# is a special case because\nthe kernel uvcvideo driver powers on the USB device as soon as /dev/video#\nis opened. This behavior should *not* be copied by other pipeline handlers.\n\nReviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>\nSigned-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>\n---\nChanges in v2:\n- Add a note to the commit message that opening/closing /dev/video# from\n  acquire()/release() as the uvcvideo pipeline handler does is an exception\n  and that this behavior should not be copied by other pipeline handlers\n- Drop lock_, update \"\\context\" in doxygen docs\n---\n include/libcamera/internal/pipeline_handler.h |  5 +----\n src/libcamera/camera.cpp                      |  6 ++++--\n src/libcamera/pipeline_handler.cpp            | 12 ++++++------\n 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)",
