This should be __s32, at least for consistency with dmabuf_fd?

I think we have to reserve more words here for future extensions.
I'd like also to propose to add here __s32 metadata_fd. The idea behind
this is to have a way to pass per-frame metadata dmabuf buffers for
synchronous type of metadata where the metadata is coming at the same
time with data buffers. What would be the format of the metadata buffer
is TBD.
One option for metadata buffer format could be:
header {
num_ctrls
array_of_ctrls [0..N]
ctrl_id
ctrl_size
ctrl_offset
}
data {
cid0 //offset of cid0 in dmabuf buffer
cid1
cidN
}
This will make easy to get concrete ctrl id without a need to parse the
whole metadata buffer. Also using dmabuf we don't need to copy data
between userspace <-> kernelspace (just cache syncs through
begin/end_cpu_access).
The open question is who will validate the metadata buffer when it comes
from userspace. The obvious answer is v4l2-core but looking into DRM
subsytem they give more freedom to the drivers, and just provide generic
helpers which are not mandatory.
I guess this will be a voice in the wilderness but I wanted to know your
opinion.
