From 965c1e0bfeb66888fb000540c1fc4e8b55533d9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Senozhatsky Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2021 13:24:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] media: videobuf2: add V4L2_MEMORY_FLAG_NON_COHERENT flag By setting or clearing the V4L2_MEMORY_FLAG_NON_COHERENT flag user-space should be able to hint vb2 that either non-coherent (if supported) or coherent memory should be used for the buffer allocation.
