    "content": "Hello,\n\nThis small series improves the function of the V4L2BufferCache and how\nit selects which cache entries to evict. This solves a real issue where \nif the cache is not pre-allocated the cache can perform suboptimally and \nnot utilise all the entries in the cache.\n\nPatch 1/4 fix an error in the test class BufferSource found as code in \nv1 of this series was based on it. 2/4 Extracts the BufferSource from \nthe camera buffer import test so it can be used in 3/4 where the test \nfor the V4L2BufferCache is added. Patch 3/4 also add tests which breaks \nwithout the improved cache eviction strategy introduced in 4/4.\n\nNiklas Söderlund (4):\n  test: camera: buffer_import: Fix error messages\n  test: Extract BufferSource class out of camera tests to libtest\n  test: v4l2_videodevice: Add test for V4L2BufferCache\n  libcamera: V4L2BufferCache: Improve cache eviction strategy\n\n src/libcamera/include/v4l2_videodevice.h |   1 +\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp       |   9 +-\n test/camera/buffer_import.cpp            |  92 +---------\n test/libtest/buffer_source.cpp           |  98 +++++++++++\n test/libtest/buffer_source.h             |  32 ++++\n test/libtest/meson.build                 |  11 +-\n test/v4l2_videodevice/buffer_cache.cpp   | 215 +++++++++++++++++++++++\n test/v4l2_videodevice/meson.build        |   1 +\n 8 files changed, 361 insertions(+), 98 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 test/libtest/buffer_source.cpp\n create mode 100644 test/libtest/buffer_source.h\n create mode 100644 test/v4l2_videodevice/buffer_cache.cpp"
