    "content": "Hello,\n\nThis 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 1/7 fix an error in the test class BufferSource found as code in\nv1 of this series was based on it. 2/7 Extracts the BufferSource from\nthe camera buffer import test so it can be used in the new test\nfor the V4L2BufferCache. Patch 3/7, 4/7 and 5/7 fix small issues with\nthe V4L2BufferCache pointed out in review of v2. Patch 6/7 add tests\nwhich breaks without the improved cache eviction strategy introduced in\n7/7.\n\nNiklas Söderlund (7):\n  test: camera: buffer_import: Fix error messages\n  test: Extract BufferSource class out of camera tests to libtest\n  libcamera: V4L2BufferCache: Mark Entry::operator==() as const\n  libcamera: V4L2BufferCache: Use the entry reference\n  libcamera: V4L2BufferCache: Check for hot hit first\n  test: v4l2_videodevice: Add test for V4L2BufferCache\n  libcamera: V4L2BufferCache: Improve cache eviction strategy\n\n src/libcamera/include/v4l2_videodevice.h |   9 +-\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp       |  31 ++--\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, 379 insertions(+), 110 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"
