    "content": "Hi,\n\nThis series addresses a problem with the existing Raspberry Pi pipeline handler,\nwere we do not efficiently handle a camera start/stop/restart sequence. This is\nbecause we de-allocate and re-allocate buffers on stop and start respectively.\nHowever, since no camera configure has occurred, the re-allocation is unnecessary.\n\nThis series attempts to fix this by not de-allocating buffers on a stop, and\nonly re-allocating on start if a configure has been called in-between. We also\nfix a small bug in the V4L2 buffer cache, which does not clear state on a stop\nin all circumstances.\n\nThanks,\nNaush\n\nNaushir Patuck (6):\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Avoid over-allocation for ISP Output 1\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Move freeBuffers() to the RPiCameraData class\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Free buffers in the RPiCamera destructor and\n    re-configure\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Add a reconfigured flag\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Repurpose RPi::Stream::reset()\n  libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Empty the V4L2 buffer cache on\n    streamOff()\n\n include/libcamera/internal/v4l2_videodevice.h |  1 +\n .../pipeline/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp      | 54 ++++++++++++-------\n .../pipeline/raspberrypi/rpi_stream.cpp       | 11 ++--\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp            | 16 ++++++\n 4 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-)"
