2026-04-15 16:31:02 +0300  Sebastian Dröge <sebastian@centricular.com>

	* gst/gstvalue.c:
	  value: On buffer deserialization errors first unmap the buffer and then unref it
	  Also unref the buffer if mapping fails (which is technically impossible).
	  Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/work_items/5042

	* gst/gstallocator.c:
	  allocator: Use g_try_malloc() instead of g_malloc() for sysmem
	  The latter will just abort the process if allocation fails but all the
	  surrounding code is already expecting it to return NULL on failure and this
	  change now allows to recover from impossible allocations.

	* gst/gstmacros.h:
	  gstmacros: Remove restrict definition
	  We now require recent GCC, Clang, and MSVC for building, all of which
	  provide the `restrict` keyword. Our define is now breaking external
	  code. F.ex., Qt 6.11 on MSVC uses `__declspec(restrict)` which gets
	  converted to `__declspec(__restrict)` which is not a valid keyword.

	* meson.build:
	  meson: Require C std gnu11 or c11
	  When using gcc or clang, gnu11 will be used, and when using MSVC c11
	  will be used which will pass /std:c11. This provides us with the
	  `restrict` keyword on all supported platforms.
	  We can do this now because we require Visual Studio 2019.
	  This feature was added in Meson 1.3

	* gst/gstdevicemonitor.c:
	* tests/check/gst/gstdevice.c:
	  devicemonitor: Wait for start thread to finish when listing devices
	  This fixes a regression introduced by:
	  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/9698
	  Since 1.28.0, gst_device_monitor_start() is not blocking any more, which
	  causes the list of devices returned by gst_device_monitor_get_devices()
	  to be incomplete. For example v4l2 provider would not fill udev
	  properties yet.
	  Solve this by blocking in gst_device_monitor_get_devices() for backward
	  compatibility. That way, applications that wish to not block can wait
	  for %GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE_MONITOR_STARTED before calling get_devices().

	  check: Add API to run a test suite with forking disabled
	  We already needed to set CK_FORK=no in some tests (e.g. for NVIDIA elements). Turns out Vulkan tests on macOS also need
	  that, so this adds a helper API to use instead of having to override the envvar.

	* gst/gstpad.c:
	  gstpad: fix potential buffer leak in get_range_failed error handler
	  In gst_pad_get_range_unchecked(), the get_range_failed error handler
	  did not clean up res_buf when the getrange function returned an error.
	  If a getrange implementation allocates a buffer but then returns a
	  non-OK flow, the buffer would be leaked since it was never written
	  back to the caller's buffer pointer.
	  Add defensive cleanup matching the pattern already used in the
	  probe_stopped_unref handler in the same function.

	* plugins/elements/gsttypefindelement.c:
	  typefind: fix buffer leak on pull_range failure during shutdown
	  When gst_pad_pull_range() fails during a racy pipeline teardown, the
	  already-allocated buffer may still be set in the output parameter even
	  though the return value is not GST_FLOW_OK. The code jumps to the
	  pause label without clearing the buffer, leaking it.
	  Use gst_clear_buffer() before the goto to properly release the buffer
	  on all error paths.

	* libs/gst/base/gstbaseparse.c:
	  baseparse: Fix out_buffer leak in frame_free and missing ref in frame_copy
	  gst_base_parse_frame_free() only unrefs frame->buffer but not
	  frame->out_buffer. If finish_frame() exits early (e.g. due to a
	  g_return_val_if_fail check on adapter size, or via the scanning path),
	  out_buffer is left non-NULL and leaked when frame_free() zeroes the
	  frame struct via memset without unreffing it.
	  This can be triggered via h264parse (and other video parsers) in the
	  packetized path: gst_h264_parse_parse_frame() takes a buffer from the
	  frame_out adapter and sets frame->out_buffer. If finish_frame() then
	  fails its precondition checks, that buffer is never freed.
	  Also fix gst_base_parse_frame_copy() which uses g_memdup2() to copy
	  the frame struct, giving the copy the same out_buffer pointer as the
	  original, but only adds a ref for buffer and not for out_buffer.

	* libs/gst/base/gstbaseparse.c:
	  baseparse: Preserve upstream buffer duration if possible
	  When upstream buffer timestamps are reliable and subclass has
	  timestamp interpolation disabled, preserve the upstream buffer
	  duration instead of replacing it with GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.
	  Subclasses typically derive buffer duration from stream header
	  information, but this can be inaccurate for variable framerate
	  streams or when the signaled framerate itself is unreliable. By
	  forwarding the original buffer duration, this change allows
	  subclasses to handle timing more accurately in such cases.

	  input-selector: fix regression receiving eos event
	  When a pad receives an eos event, it must first check for if the active pad
	  should be changed. Failure to do that could lead to the event not being
	  forwarded if current pad is the last pad remaining and it was not active
	  before.

	* plugins/elements/gstinputselector.c:
	  input-selector: fix race condition selecting next active pad
	  When a pad is being released, the pad is marked as flushing and the selector
	  lock is released before the pad is removed from the element pad list. This is
	  necessary so any in-progress event or buffer handling for this pad terminates
	  before the pad is deactivated.
	  If another thread was trying to select the next active pad at this particular
	  moment, it could end up picking the pad being released before it was removed
	  from the element pad list.
	  This commit adds a flag which is set when the pad is being released, so it won't
	  get picked as the next active pad.

	  gst_element_link_pads_filtered() can occur at the same time the bin
	  is in the middle of a PAUSED->PLAYING transition.
	  Since before this patch the capsfilter state lock bit wasn't being set,
	  in the case of a failure to link it was possible for the state change to
	  NULL in gst_element_link_pads_filtered() to race against a state change
	  to PLAYING inside gst_bin_change_state_func() and lose.
	  This caused errors when the unreffed capsfilter was disposed moments
	  later, as the element dispose function found the element to be
	  accidentally in PLAYING state.
	  As of writing, this particular race reproduces consistently when running
	  check.gst-plugins-good.elements_qtdemux.test_qtdemux_sample_interleaving
	  under valgrind with the the default fair scheduler (valgrind
	  --fair-sched=try), both locally and in the CI. This patch fixes it.

	* plugins/elements/gstinputselector.h:
	  input-selector: implement a two-phase sinkpad switch
	  Switching the sinkpad was racy: when a new sinkpad was selected, previous
	  active sinkpad could continue pushing events or buffers, while the new sinkpad
	  already started pushing its sticky events, leading to inconsistencies
	  downstream.
	  This commit implements a a two-phase switch approach:
	  1. When the user selects the active pad, it is first set as pending.
	  2. Functions handling buffers or events first check whether a new pad is pending
	  activation, in which case the new pad activation is commited.
	  3. After completing step 2, the functions handles the buffer or event.
	  The active pad can not change before the buffer or event is pushed.
	  Mutability of the pending pad is protected by SELECTOR_LOCK.
	  Mutability of the active pad is protected by a dedicated RW lock which can be
	  locked independently from SELECTOR_LOCK and can prevent active pad changes when
	  that would interfere with current processing.
	  The RW lock allows preventing the active_pad from being changed while we
	  are processing a buffer or event.
	  Only `gst_input_selector_maybe_commit_active_pad ()` can get this lock in
	  writer mode for a short period of time (committing the `pending_active_pad`
	  to `active_pad`). Other concurrent code paths lock it in reader mode.
	  When a `pending_active_pad` is available (and only in that case),
	  code paths calling `gst_input_selector_maybe_commit_active_pad ()` would
	  hang until the lock is available for writer mode, which is expected since
	  their processing should be performed with respect to the expected `active_pad`.
	  Note that a `GRecMutex` was also considered to prevent possible deadlocks
	  in callbacks, but only a `GRWLock` can deal with the concurrency which occurs
	  during preroll.

	  - Note this is NOT a breaking change.
	  - Base transform accept caps evaluation is based on intersection between caps
	  and template while the default behaviour should be to verify that caps is a
	  subset of the template. There's a specific pad flag to indicate accept caps
	  should be based on intersect (GST_PAD_FLAG_ACCEPT_INTERSECT). Since alot of
	  elements base based on bastransform and the expected behaviour from the base
	  class to evaluate accept caps is to use intersect we set the flat
	  GST_PAD_FLAG_ACCEPT_INTERSECT inside gst_base_transform_init() on the sinkpad
	  and inside gst_base_transform_acceptcaps_default() we use interect if the flag
	  is set otherwise we use gst_caps_is_subset (caps, template). This way
	  basetransform will honor the flag and allow element that want accept caps to
	  be base on subset to clear this flag.

	* tests/check/gst/gstdevice.c:
	  tests: Move gstdevice from fail_unless to ck_assert
	  This is better, because ck_assert_*_eq etc will print both arguments
	  when the comparison fails. fail_unless_equals_int etc exist, but the
	  there's no equivalent for ck_assert_int_gt etc.

	  gstinfo: Add convenience macros around GstLogContext for logging once
	  The purpose is to avoid having to add boilerplate to every file/plugin
	  where you want to add a log message which will be printed exactly
	  once, with the default settings for GstLogContext.
	  Somehow, this is also faster than using the explicit API:
	  GST_WARNING_ONCE is 15% faster than GST_CTX_WARNING
	  The macros are the only publicly-documented API, the functions that
	  are wrapped by the macros are not meant to be used directly, except by
	  bindings.

	* gst/gsttaskpool.h:
	  videoconvertscale: add support for task pool context
	  This allows applications to provide a shared task pool via context for
	  multi-threaded video conversion, enabling better control over thread
	  management across multiple elements.
	  The element now implements set_context() to receive task pools and uses
	  them when creating video converters. If no n-threads property is explicitly
	  set, the element will automatically use the max threads from the provided
	  shared task pool.
	  A new test verifies the task pool is actually used by the video converter
	  during processing.

	  Add GST_TASK_POOL_CONTEXT_TYPE ("gst.task.pool") well-known context
	  with helper functions gst_context_set/get_task_pool() for
	  pipeline-scoped task pool sharing between elements.
