4 Subject: [PATCH 256/703] staging: bcm2835-camera: Ensure timestamps never go
7 There is an awkward situation with H264 header bytes. Currently
8 they are returned with a PTS of 0 because they aren't associated
9 with a timestamped frame to encode. These are handled by either
10 returning the timestamp of the last buffer to have been received,
11 or in the case of the first buffer the timestamp taken at
13 This results in a race where the current frame may have started
14 before we take the start time, which results in the first encoded
15 frame having an earlier timestamp than the header bytes.
17 Ensure that we never return a negative delta to the user by checking
18 against the previous timestamp.
