[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 0/3] hwcontext_vaapi: dlopen libva-x11 and libva-drm

[Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com>]

Greetings everyone,

As you may know the libva* set of libraries share an internal ABI
between them. In a resent libva commit, the va_fool API was removed.

Thus if one is to mix different versions of libva.so and libva-x11.so
they will get an error, leading to a crash of the whole stack.

The simple solution is to dlopen() the winsys components, like libva-x11
and libva-drm. The changes are pretty minor and allow us to handle this
king of issues.

Comments and suggestions are welcome, but please me gentle it's my first
time hacking on ffmpeg :-P

Thanks
Emil

Changes in v2:
 - add linkage against libdl

Aside:
 - Please consider backporting it to the stable branches in due time.
 - I've noticed that we leak state in the error paths, happy to send
   follow-up patches if you'd like those fixed.
 - My TODO includes reducing the massive ABI between libva* and
   backend drivers, to a single extra "registration" API entrypoint.

  hwcontext_vaapi: do not link against libva-x11.so
  hwcontext_vaapi: do not link against libva-drm.so
  hwcontext_vaapi: #if guard VAAPI_DRM specifics
