Upstream PR #3 — kernel per-context vb2_queue lock so concurrent
clients of /dev/video0 don't serialise on a device-wide mutex.
Pi 5 Firefox VAAPI playback (RDD + content + GPU processes each
opening the device) now works without S_FMT EBUSY collisions.
Verified on higgs: YouTube playback engages daedalus at sustained
~230 fps decode through the libavcodec dlopen path, ~7× headroom
over the 30fps@1080p Pi 5 Fourier target.
Both packages: pkgver 0.1.0.r24.f0d4186, pkgrel reset to 1.

Upstream PR #2 landed the one-line kernel fix that was the missing
half of issue libva-v4l2-request-fourier#8: device_run now calls
v4l2_ctrl_request_setup() before reading ctrl->p_cur, so the
daedalus_h264_meta the daemon receives reflects the in-flight
media_request's bound H.264 stateless control values instead of
stale/default ones.
Pairs with libva-v4l2-request-fourier 1.0.0+r382+gc1bb444 (max_num_
ref_frames fallback + Fix 4 instrumentation that exposed the
control-binding gap in the first place).
Effect on Pi 5 / CM5 hosts (higgs): ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi against
H.264 sources now produces actual decoded content (per-frame
fnv1a hashes differ, zero MB-decode errors) instead of the
constant 0x6a6a05c5 "best-effort give-up" hash and cascading
decode warnings.
Both packages: pkgver 0.1.0.r22.462aa4b, pkgrel reset to 1.

Upstream PR #1 landed daemon-side synthesis of H.264 SPS/PPS NAL
units from the V4L2 stateless control structs. This bumps the
package pin so both the userspace daemon and the kernel module
pick up the change in lockstep (wire protocol grew a new
DAEDALUS_REQ_FLAG_H264_META bit + struct daedalus_h264_meta —
kernel and daemon MUST match).
Effect on Pi 5 / CM5 hosts (higgs): ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi against
H.264 sources will actually decode through the daedalus daemon
instead of failing with "non-existing PPS 0 referenced".
Both arch + debian packages: pkgver 0.1.0.r20.3dd0eb0 (count from
git rev-list), pkgrel reset to 1 (new upstream pin).
VP9 / AV1 paths unchanged.

481279c adds packaging/systemd/{daedalus-v4l2.service,modules-load} to
the upstream tree. This commit wires those into both the Arch
(PKGBUILD + .install) and Debian (build-deb.sh + postinst/prerm/postrm)
package layouts so that a fresh install of daedalus-v4l2 + daedalus-
v4l2-dkms on a Pi 5 leaves the kernel module loaded at next boot AND
the userspace broker daemon enabled — no manual modprobe / systemctl
enable dance needed.
arch/daedalus-v4l2:
* pkgver 0.1.0.r18.481279c, pkgrel reset to 1 (new upstream pin).
* Dropped 'systemd-libs' from depends — daemon doesn't link
libsystemd (no sd_notify); the .service unit is consumed by
systemd-the-init, no link-time dep required.
* package() now installs the .service to
/usr/lib/systemd/system/daedalus-v4l2.service and the modules-
load drop-in to /usr/lib/modules-load.d/daedalus-v4l2.conf.
* New .install file: post_install/post_upgrade run daemon-reload +
enable + systemd-modules-load + try-restart on upgrade; pre/post
remove tear down cleanly. No auto-start — operator decides.
arch/daedalus-v4l2-dkms:
* pkgver bump to 481279c, pkgrel reset to 1. Kernel module itself
is bit-identical to f0cd29a (commit only touches packaging/) but
bumping in lockstep keeps DKMS source-tree pkgver matched to the
userspace pkgver so /etc/modules-load.d points at a module that
actually exists.
debian/daedalus-v4l2:
* Same bump 481279c, PKGREL=1.
* build-deb.sh stages /lib/systemd/system/ + /usr/lib/modules-load.d/
and installs both files.
* Generates DEBIAN/postinst that runs daemon-reload, enables the
service, triggers systemd-modules-load, and conditionally starts
the service iff /dev/daedalus-v4l2 is already present (uses the
same ConditionPathExists= guard as the unit file so apt install
doesn't fail loudly on a host where dkms hasn't built yet).
* Generates DEBIAN/prerm (stop + disable on remove) and
DEBIAN/postrm (daemon-reload).
debian/daedalus-v4l2-dkms:
* Lockstep version bump, PKGREL=1. Postinst (loud-warn-on-missing-
headers) unchanged.
Verified the SHA via local rev-parse against ~/src/daedalus-v4l2 —
481279c is the "packaging/systemd: ship daedalus-v4l2.service +
modules-load drop-in" commit on main.

DKMS build for daedalus_v4l2 fails against kernel 6.18+ with:
daedalus_v4l2_main.c:1049: error: too few arguments to function
'v4l2_fh_add'
v4l2-fh.h:97: void v4l2_fh_add(struct v4l2_fh *fh, struct file *filp);
(same for v4l2_fh_del). Signature changed exactly at v6.18 — verified
v6.13–v6.17 still use the one-arg form via raw.githubusercontent.com
tag walk.
Upstream commit f0cd29a wraps the calls with LINUX_VERSION_CODE so the
module keeps building against:
* 6.12 LTS / RPi 6.12.75 (one-arg) — hertz
* 6.12.88+deb13-arm64 (one-arg)
* 6.18.29+rpt-rpi-2712 (file* arg) — higgs running kernel
Higgs (Pi CM5) was hitting this: daedalus-v4l2-dkms 0.1.0+r16+gf55b2cd
showed 'installed' in dpkg but DKMS autoinstall failed for the running
6.18.29 kernel. Re-running 'dkms autoinstall' after this bump succeeds
+ /dev/daedalus-v4l2 appears.
Also widens debian/daedalus-v4l2-dkms Recommends from
linux-headers-generic | linux-headers
to
linux-headers-rpi-2712 | linux-headers-rpi | linux-headers-generic | linux-headers
so apt pulls the right metapackage on Raspberry Pi OS / RPi-2712
kernels by default.
Userspace pkgver bumps in lockstep (no userspace change in f0cd29a, but
keeps daedalus-v4l2 + daedalus-v4l2-dkms versions matching for
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME selection sanity).

The recipes pinned `f55b2cdab8a8c0bc04e8c1bb1d0b6ca85e7d96d2` as the
"Phase 8.13: byte-exact end-to-end via libva" commit, but that SHA
does not exist in git.reauktion.de/reauktion/daedalus-v4l2.
The actual `main` tip (per gitea's for-each-ref) is
`f55b2cd002afdfd08f3c093627317f92e4929074` — same 7-char prefix
(`f55b2cd`), different full hash. Likely a manually-constructed SHA
based on a short prefix from a working copy that was never pushed.
git archive --format=tar.gz on the bad SHA fails with
fatal: not a tree object: f55b2cdab8a8...
which surfaces as 500 from Gitea's archive endpoint, which curl in
the CI build-deb.sh sees as `curl: (22) ... error: 500`.
Diagnosed by tailing gitea.log during a fresh archive request from
the CI runner; the underlying `git archive` command in the gitea
container is logged with the full failing SHA + error.
Fixed in all four recipes (arch + debian, daedalus-v4l2 + dkms).
pkgrel bumped to signal new build (PKGVER short-prefix `gf55b2cd`
stays the same — both bad and good SHA share that prefix).
Bumps all 4 daedalus packages (arch + debian × userspace + dkms)
to pick up daedalus-v4l2 f55b2cd: "kernel: media_request_get/put
around inf->req (UAF safety)".
Closes the SHIP-WITH-EYES-OPEN concern Sonnet flagged in the
pre-deployment review — without explicit media_request_get on
capture + media_request_put on completion, a concurrent
MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_REINIT or process-kill triggering
buf_request_complete from the cancel path could drop vb2's
reference before our completion handler ran, leaving inf->req
dangling through v4l2_ctrl_request_complete + buf_done.
Matches the cedrus / rkvdec refcount pattern. No protocol
change, no API change, no consumer-side adjustment required.
Same byte-exact output verified on hertz post-fix (libva path:
match; standalone test_m2m_stream: 30/30 frames).

Sonnet pre-deployment review caught a BLOCKER: on a fresh higgs
(Debian 13 / Pi CM5) install without the RPi kernel headers
pre-installed, the postinst's `dkms autoinstall || true` silently
swallowed the build failure. Package appeared installed but the
.ko was absent; `modprobe daedalus_v4l2` then failed and the
entire stack was dead with no clear pointer to the cause.
Fix in both ecosystems:
debian/daedalus-v4l2-dkms/build-deb.sh:
- After `dkms autoinstall`, verify the post-condition with
`dkms status -m daedalus_v4l2 -v VER -k $(uname -r)`.
- If the module isn't 'installed' / 'loaded' for the running
kernel, emit a yellow-bolded ANSI warning naming the most
likely cause (kernel headers package missing) and the exact
recovery steps (linux-headers-rpi-2712 for RPi or
linux-headers-$KERNELVER for Debian generic, then
`dkms autoinstall` + `modprobe`).
- Colour only on TTY; the warning is unconditional regardless.
arch/daedalus-v4l2-dkms/:
- New daedalus-v4l2-dkms.install with post_install +
post_upgrade hooks that run the same `dkms status` check.
- post_upgrade catches the case where a kernel-headers package
was uninstalled / pruned between upgrades, silently
regressing the build.
- Wired into the PKGBUILD via install="${pkgname}.install".
Both versions point at the actual repair commands rather than
just saying "build failed", so the user is one apt/pacman away
from a working stack instead of debugging dkms internals.

PKGBUILD pinning the same daedalus-v4l2 @ f04d700 as the
userspace sibling. Installs kernel/ source to
/usr/src/daedalus_v4l2-<ver>/ with a generated dkms.conf;
AUTOINSTALL=yes builds the module against the running kernel.
The kernel/ Makefile uses -I$(src)/../include for the shared
protocol header. In the userspace tree that's daedalus-v4l2/include/;
for DKMS we flatten by copying the header into kernel/include/
and patching the Makefile in package() to point there.
