From a8310248fc26cc1e1b791af5e9394c1d20bee269 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Pinchart Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2020 03:09:33 +0200 Subject: libcamera: camera: Implement the threading model MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Document the threading model of the Camera class and implement it. Selected functions become thread-safe, and require a few functions of the PipelineHandler class to be called through cross-thread invocation as the pipeline handlers live in the camera manager thread, while the Camera class is mostly accessed from the application thread. The PipelineHandler is made to inherit from the Object class to support this. Disconnection is currently left out as it is not implemented in pipeline handlers, and isn't fully supported in the Camera class either. This will be revisited when implementing proper hotplug support.
