    "content": "This series address the issue where over-queuing of FCQueue (or similar)\ncan happen by the pipeline-handler class if not taken care of.\n\nThe idea is each platform can define its max in-flight requests it can\nhandle at any given point. Set that as a constraint in pipeline-handler\nbase class. The pipeline-handler base class will enforce that constraint\nso that, over-queue of requests does not happen.\n\nPatch 1/2 moves kMaxframeContexts for IPU3 and RkISP1 to .mojom\ninterface (common ground between IPA/PH). This will help respective\npipeline-handlers to access the global variable. \n\nPatch 2/2 implements the constraint. It basically uses a counter to\nkeep track of how many requests are currently queued to the hardware\nbased on which - it decides whether to queue the next request or not.\n\nUmang Jain (2):\n  ipa: Move kMaxFrameContexts to mojom interface\n  libcamera: pipeline-handler: Consider max in-flight requests\n    constraint\n\n include/libcamera/internal/pipeline_handler.h |  4 ++\n include/libcamera/ipa/ipu3.mojom              |  3 ++\n include/libcamera/ipa/rkisp1.mojom            |  3 ++\n src/ipa/ipu3/ipu3.cpp                         |  3 --\n src/ipa/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp                     |  3 --\n src/libcamera/pipeline/ipu3/ipu3.cpp          |  1 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp      |  1 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline_handler.cpp            | 51 ++++++++++++++++++-\n 8 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)"
