The uvcvideo driver needs to open / close its /dev/video# node from
pipe_->acquireDevices() / pipe_->releaseDevices().
V4L2VideoDevice::open() creates an EventNotifier and this notifier needs
to be created from the CameraManager thread.
Use invokeMethod() for pipe_->acquire() and pipe_->release() so that the
EventNotifiers are created from the CameraManager thread context.
Running pipe_->acquire() and pipe_->release() from the CameraManager
thread context serializes all calls to them. Drop PipelineHandler::lock_
this now is no longer necessary and update the "\context" part of the
documentation for acquire[Device]() and release[Device]() to match.
Note the delayed opening of /dev/video# is a special case because the
kernel uvcvideo driver powers on the USB device as soon as /dev/video#
is opened. This behavior should *not* be copied by other pipeline
handlers.
