LOG_DEFINE_CATEGORY(IPAManager)

/**
 * \class IPAManager
 * \brief Manager for IPA modules
 *
 * The IPA module manager discovers IPA modules from disk, queries and loads
 * them, and creates IPA contexts. It supports isolation of the modules in a
 * separate process with IPC communication and offers a unified IPAInterface
 * view of the IPA contexts to pipeline handlers regardless of whether the
 * modules are isolated or loaded in the same process.
 *
 * Module isolation is based on the module licence. Open-source modules are
 * loaded without isolation, while closed-source module are forcefully isolated.
 * The isolation mechanism ensures that no code from a closed-source module is
 * ever run in the libcamera process.
 *
 * To create an IPA context, pipeline handlers call the IPAManager::createIPA()
 * function. For a directly loaded module, the manager calls the module's
 * ipaCreate() function directly and wraps the returned context in an
 * IPAContextWrapper that exposes an IPAInterface.

 * For an isolated module, the manager instantiates an IPAProxy which spawns a
 * new process for an IPA proxy worker. The worker loads the IPA module and
 * creates the IPA context. The IPAProxy alse exposes an IPAInterface.
