Take advantage of this feature to lift the strange\nalignment to a multiple of 6 for the stream output size. This allows\ncapturing all common display resolutions from the vimc pipeline handler,\nwhich is handy to test the DRM sink in the cam application.\n\nThe improvement, in patch 6/6, breaks 4 unit tests. The series starts\nwith improvements and fixes to the tests to avoid those breakages\n(patches 1/6 to 5/6), before changing the vimc pipeline handler\nbehaviour. Those test improvements would in my opinion make sense even\nwithout patch 6/6, as they fix a race condition (3/6) or accelerate the\ntest runs (1/6, 4/6 and 5/6) on fast machines.\n\nThe series has been tested with the unit tests, running on my\ndevelopment machine, in a local VM, and in the gitlab.freedesktop.org CI\nVM.\n\nLaurent Pinchart (6):\n test: camera: Increase timeout for vimc capture tests\n test: fence: Turn class member variable into local variable\n test: fence: Fix race condition\n test: fence: Increase timeout for fence test\n test: v4l2_videodevice: Increase timeout for vimc capture tests\n pipeline: vimc: Don't hardcode scaling factor with recent kernels\n\n src/libcamera/pipeline/vimc/vimc.cpp | 47 +++++++++++-----\n test/camera/buffer_import.cpp | 21 +++++--\n test/camera/capture.cpp | 22 +++++---\n test/fence.cpp | 75 ++++++++++++++++---------\n test/v4l2_videodevice/capture_async.cpp | 11 ++--\n 5 files changed, 116 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-)\n\n\nbase-commit: c79fa47aac9b38865dab5e9f29030903bf460c46" }
