[v9,1/8] libcamera: Create IPA by name

27838 diff mbox series

Currently createIPA() / IPAManager::module() assume that there is a 1:1
relationship between pipeline handlers and IPAs and IPA matching is done
based on matching the pipe to ipaModuleInfo.pipelineName[].

One way to allow using a single IPA with multiple pipelines would be to
allow the IPA to declare itself compatible with more than one pipeline,
turning ipaModuleInfo.pipelineName[] into e.g. a vector. But the way
ipaModuleInfo is loaded as an ELF symbol requires it to be a simple flat
C-struct.

Instead, move the IPA creation procedure to be name-based, introducing
a PipelineHandler::createIPA(name, minVer, maxVer) overload that allows
to specify the name of the IPA module to match. Pipeline handlers that
wants to use their name as matching criteria can continue doing so using
the already existing PipelineHandler::createIPA(minVer, maxVer) overload.

Changes in v9:
- Remove no longer needed PipelineHandler forward decl. from ipa_manager.h
- Remove no longer needed pipeline_handler.h include from ipa_manager.cpp,
  ipa_module.[cpp|h]

Changes in v5:
- Rebase on top of db998e618aaa ("libcamera: pipeline_handler: Add
  createIPA() function") which moved the createIPA() wrapper for
  pipeline-handlers into the PipelineHandler class

Changes in v4:
- Rebase, change author to Hans' new email address

Changes in v1 from Hans' original patch:
- Slightly different approach addressing the review comments on Hans' v1
  by creating an overload for PipelineHandler::createIPA() that allows
  pipelines to specify the IPA module name.
