V4L2 error after updating kernel to 5.15 from 5.10

Hi all

 

After update kernel from 5.10.60 to 5.15 or 5.16 on my Orange PI PC+ MJPEG-Streamer throws:

Quote

libv4l2: error turning on stream: Cannot allocate memory

motion throws:

Quote

[1:ml1] [ERR] [VID] v4l2_set_mmap: Error starting stream. VIDIOC_STREAMON: Cannot allocate memory

 

I tried to decrease resolution - even 320x240 not helps.

Rolling back to 5.10.60 helps, but it's not very sustainable solution.

 

Are there any known solution for 5.15-5.16?

Hi,

 

same here with:

• OrangePiPlus
• OrangePiPC
• OrangePiPC+
• OrangePiZero

Had to go back to "Buster 5.10.60".

 

Now its working for me... again.

Now ist working with 5.15.43-sunxi.

Hello all,

 

I have the same problem. I have been using fswebcam for a few years, but now I am getting the following error:

The command I am using is the following:

 

Quote

fswebcam --device '/dev/video1' --resolution 1280x720 --no-banner --jpeg '100' --save '/home/pi/dati_gateway/images_fullsize/2022-04-10_20-42-00_front.jpg' -p YUYV -S 30 -F 1 -v

 

I'm using an Orange Pi PC+ with Armbian 22.02.1 Focal with Linux 5.15.25-sunxi.

Rolling back is not a possible solution in my case.

 

I already tried to make some changes at the level of uvcvideo quirks (after consulting several forums that indicated that it could be the cause of the problem) usin the following commands:

 

Quote

sudo rmmod uvcvideo
sudo modprobe uvcvideo nodrop=1 timeout=5000 quirks=0x80

(0x80 allows activating UVC_QUIRK_FIX_BANDWIDTH)
(I had to set the nodrop to 1 otherwise a timeout was obtained)

 

After that I managed to get the photo however only about 1/5 of it, the remaining 4/5 are in green as you can see in the following image:

 

I think the problem is actually related to the 5.15 kernel.

Any ideas on how I can successfully use fswebcam with this kernel?

 

Thanks for the help in advance.
