Description

The typical usage of this ioctl is to call it twice. On the first call, the structure defined at struct media_v2_topology should be zeroed. At return, if no errors happen, this ioctl will return the topology_version and the total number of entities, interfaces, pads and links.

Before the second call, the userspace should allocate arrays to store the graph elements that are desired, putting the pointers to them at the ptr_entities, ptr_interfaces, ptr_links and/or ptr_pads, keeping the other values untouched.

If the topology_version remains the same, the ioctl should fill the desired arrays with the media graph elements.

Table L.2. struct media_v2_topology

__u64topology_version  Version of the media graph topology. When the graph is created, this field starts with zero. Every time a graph element is added or removed, this field is incremented.
__u64num_entities  Number of entities in the graph
__u64ptr_entities  A pointer to a memory area where the entities array will be stored, converted to a 64-bits integer. It can be zero. if zero, the ioctl won't store the entities. It will just update num_entities
__u64num_interfaces  Number of interfaces in the graph
__u64ptr_interfaces  A pointer to a memory area where the interfaces array will be stored, converted to a 64-bits integer. It can be zero. if zero, the ioctl won't store the interfaces. It will just update num_interfaces
__u64num_pads  Total number of pads in the graph
__u64ptr_pads  A pointer to a memory area where the pads array will be stored, converted to a 64-bits integer. It can be zero. if zero, the ioctl won't store the pads. It will just update num_pads
__u64num_links  Total number of data and interface links in the graph
__u64ptr_links  A pointer to a memory area where the links array will be stored, converted to a 64-bits integer. It can be zero. if zero, the ioctl won't store the links. It will just update num_links

Table L.3. struct media_v2_entity

__u32id  Unique ID for the entity.
charname[64]  Entity name as an UTF-8 NULL-terminated string.
__u32function  Entity main function, see Table 16.1, “Media entity types” for details.
__u32reserved[12]Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set this array to zero.  

Table L.4. struct media_v2_interface

__u32id  Unique ID for the interface.
__u32intf_type  Interface type, see Table 16.3, “Media interface types” for details.
__u32flags  Interface flags. Currently unused.
__u32reserved[9]  Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set this array to zero.
struct media_v2_intf_devnodedevnode  Used only for device node interfaces. See Table L.5, “struct media_v2_interface for details..

Table L.5. struct media_v2_interface

__u32major  Device node major number.
__u32minor  Device node minor number.

Table L.6. struct media_v2_pad

__u32id  Unique ID for the pad.
__u32entity_id  Unique ID for the entity where this pad belongs.
__u32flags  Pad flags, see Table 16.4, “Media pad flags” for more details.
__u32reserved[9]  Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set this array to zero.

Table L.7. struct media_v2_pad

__u32id  Unique ID for the pad.
__u32source_id  

On pad to pad links: unique ID for the source pad.

On interface to entity links: unique ID for the interface.

__u32sink_id  

On pad to pad links: unique ID for the sink pad.

On interface to entity links: unique ID for the entity.

__u32flags  Link flags, see Table 16.5, “Media link flags” for more details.
__u32reserved[5]  Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set this array to zero.

Return Value

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the errno variable is set appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the Generic Error Codes chapter.

ENOSPC

This is returned when either one or more of the num_entities, num_interfaces, num_links or num_pads are non-zero and are smaller than the actual number of elements inside the graph. This may happen if the topology_version changed when compared to the last time this ioctl was called. Userspace should usually free the area for the pointers, zero the struct elements and call this ioctl again.
