Process input data as soon as it's fed to av_bsf_send_packet(), instead of
storing a single packet and expecting the user to call av_bsf_receive_packet()
in order to trigger the decoding process before they are allowed to feed more
data.

This puts the bsf API more in line with the decoupled decode API, without
breaking existing using it.

Now without creating a new reference for the input packet, and behaving the
exact same as before for current users that were following the doxy right down
to the letter.

Also didn't rename buffer_pkt to reduce the size of the diff and easily find
the actual changes and additions.

Well, previously it was assumed that av_bsf_send_packet() is never 
returning AVERROR_INVALIDDATA, that is no longer the case. That matters 
because current code in mux.c ingnores av_bsf_receive_packet() errors but 
not av_bsf_send_packet() errors.

Unless there is some benefit I am not seeing, I'd rather keep things as 
is. Sorry.

Marton

The doxy states av_bsf_send_packet() can return an error, even if up
till now it hasn't.

Also, as i stated in the addendum below the Signed-off line, current
users following the recommended API usage (one call to
av_bsf_send_packet(), then several to av_bsf_receive_packet()) will see
no changes at all. So if you did that and expected no errors from
av_bsf_send_packet() in your mux.c code, you'll still get none.

The benefit is relaxing the current constrains of the API for new users
(including mux.c if you want to take advantage of it), but for those
that don't care about it, there's no difference at all. So any existing
code is in no risk of being broken.

This is no longer the case in v2, sorry for the confusion.

av_bsf_send_packet() will trigger filtering only when called more than
one time in a row (When it can't consume the new packet without trying
to filter the previous one first), to keep behavior for existing API
users intact.

How is this making things easier for the API user? After the patch, the 
framework can - in most cases - buffer 2 packets instead of 1. So what? 
User app still have to implement that if it gets EAGAIN in send_packet, it 
has to call receive_packet and vica versa. Unless it uses the 
"recommended" practice, where it can assume success of send_packet for a 
completetly drained bsf.

You say that the API should be the same as for encode/decode. Well, it 
already is. Decode/encode API makes no guarantees about the number of 
possibly buffered frames/packets. It only says that one of successive 
send/receive calls must succeed and not return EAGAIN. And that is true 
with the current BSF implementation.

You can remove the comment that "the filter must be completely drained", 
or change it to that it is recommended to completetly drain the bsf. But 
the code need no changes, it will still be API-compatible with the decode 
API. It just uses internally a stricter scheme, and I like that it does.

The difference is that i can now call send_packet as many times as the
underlying bsf lets me, much like the decode send_packet, which allows
me to build the loop in many different ways and not just the currently
enforced "Send one packet, receive packets until drained" one.

It certainly isn't. Unlike the decode API, I can't feed the
av1_frame_merge bsf all the packets it needs before it has one ready for
output. I need to feed them one, interleaved with at least one
receive_packet call that will tell me that i need send more before it
can output anything.

I'm removing the stricter scheme without altering the workflow of users
of said strict scheme. It's not breaking your mux.c code, right? Or at
least it's not meant to if you followed the current strict guidelines.
So what exactly are you against of?

Instead of "Send one packet, receive packets until drained even if there
was nothing ready", i can now do "Send as many packets as I'm allowed
to, fetch one, try to send as many packets as i'm allowed to again,
fetch one, repeat", or "Send as many packets as i'm allowed to, fetch
one, send one, fetch one, repeat", or "Send as many packets as i'm
allowed to, fetch as many packets as there are available, repeat".

I just don't see why this is an issue? Does it measurably help performance 
if the number of API calls are reduced which return EAGAIN? Or does this 
have some other benefit?

I am not against it anymore, feel free to go ahead. I am just still not

More freedom for the API user to write their loops by removing a strict
constrain, and making all our decouple input/output APIs behave as
similar as possible (Having them behave exactly the same is impossible
without breaking the bsf API, making it return EOF instead of 0 on
subsequent flush packets). Just that.

I think that this file needs a macro for "packet is empty", especially
with a patch like yours, so I have just sent [1].

The way you are doing this leads to an unnecessary av_packet_move_ref()
and an unnecessary check (you can just "return ctx->filter->filter(ctx,
pkt);"). Given that the doc states that the supplied pkt has to be clean
and given that the filters unref it on error if they have modified it,
the packet will be clean on error. If you worry that some padding bytes
might have been modified, then change the doc to "On failure, pkt will
be clean/blank on return" instead of adding an av_packet_move_ref().

"Should" is not "must". And even if it was, the user could still
mistakenly pass an uninitialized packet that an underlying bsf could
wrongly try to utilize (Calling av_grow_packet() instead of
av_new_packet(), calling av_packet_add_side_data(), or any kind of usage
that could behave unpredictably when there's existing data). So to
ensure bsfs will get a clean packet, the generic code should take care
of it, and this is the easiest way without outright returning an error
if an non blank packet is provided.

A call to av_pkt_move_ref() are almost free, does not care what's in the
dst packet, and is worth it for the extra assurance that bsfs will only
deal with clean packets from now on.
