This guarantee would fail before this series. It\nmay be helpful to add this assertion to a common call in the pipeline\nhandler base class, or to the CameraData as part of future developments.\n\nPatch [8/8] adds further assertions that the FrameInfo can be found\nduring event handling from the IPA. This also would have failed before\nthis series.\n\n\nKieran Bingham (6):\n libcamera: buffer: Initialise status\n libcamera: camera: Validate requests are completed in Running state\n libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Prevent queueing buffers without a cache\n libcamera: pipeline: ipu3: Stop IPA before stopping devices\n libcamera: pipeline: ipu3: Ensure no requests are pending at stop()\n libcamera: pipeline: ipu3: Fail if the FrameInfo can't be found\n\nLaurent Pinchart (2):\n utils: ipc: proxy: Assert asynchronous calls execute in the running\n state\n utils: ipc: proxy: Process pending messages\n\n include/libcamera/buffer.h | 4 ++--\n src/libcamera/camera.cpp | 10 ++++++++--\n src/libcamera/pipeline/ipu3/ipu3.cpp | 18 +++++++++++++++---\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp | 10 ++++++++++\n .../module_ipa_proxy.cpp.tmpl | 2 ++\n .../libcamera_templates/proxy_functions.tmpl | 6 ++++--\n 6 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)" }
