How about removing the flags parameter, hardcoding both MEDIA_LNK_FL_ENABLED and MEDIA_LNK_FL_IMMUTABLE inside the function, and specifying in the userspace API documentation that both flags are always set of ancillary links ? Thinking a bit further, what would be the implications of changing this rule in the future ? I don't know what use cases may require that, but let's assume we start exposing mutable ancillary links, or mutable and disabled ancillary links. How will existing userspace react to that, do we need to specify rules in the uAPI documentation to tell userspace how to prepare for the future ? > >> + */ > >> +struct media_link * > >> +media_create_ancillary_link(struct media_entity *primary, > >> + struct media_entity *ancillary, > >> + u32 flags); > >> + > >> #define media_entity_call(entity, operation, args...) \ > >> (((entity)->ops && (entity)->ops->operation) ? \ > >> (entity)->ops->operation((entity) , ##args) : -ENOIOCTLCMD)

Yeah maybe; at the moment my libcamera implementation wouldn't treat a disabled link any differently, and for a lens at least I can't really see any situation where a disabled link would be valid. Perhaps multiple LED drivers supporting the same sensor for different flash modes might be a thing though, in which case it might be helpful to disable one of the ancillary links so that you can flag a particular driver as the active one, or something long those lines. So perhaps the uAPI docs should explain that both ENABLED and IMMUTABLE are currently hardcoded, but that userspace should still check for an enabled link before following it. > >>>> + */ >>>> +struct media_link * >>>> +media_create_ancillary_link(struct media_entity *primary, >>>> + struct media_entity *ancillary, >>>> + u32 flags); >>>> + >>>> #define media_entity_call(entity, operation, args...) \ >>>> (((entity)->ops && (entity)->ops->operation) ? \ >>>> (entity)->ops->operation((entity) , ##args) : -ENOIOCTLCMD)
