Getting this error and service restart when try to set various options (not all, but too few)

Unfortunately, libcamera (upstream) fails when setting some of the options. Not all are exposed. In this case it is long exposure. So it fails, and crashes the whole process.

[webgps]

Yes, i can use bunch of the options without error, unfortunatelly i need thoose which are failing :) Should i use libcamera-dev? Or....?

[kbingham]

"Crashes the whole process" shouldn't happen. Only controls exposed by the Camera->controls() are valid to be set. Is there a specific control you are setting that is crashing on the RPi ?

[ayufan]

@kbingham Thanks for looking into this :) Let me find one.

[ayufan]

@kbingham If I recall correctly:

• for dtoverlay=imx519 when setting AfMode= it would crash process
• this is code fetching all available controls: https://github.com/ayufan/camera-streamer/blob/develop/device/libcamera/options.cc
• whether this is develop or master, does not make difference

libcamera-dev is already the newest version (0~git20230302+923f5d70-1).
libcamera0 is already the newest version (0~git20230302+923f5d70-1).

It appears to crash in here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/libcamera/blob/main/src/ipa/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp#LL811C4-L811C6, since the af is NULL.

Or.:

Backtrace:

This fetches the available control, but in this case it seems to crash on the lack of the given enum value.

[kbingham]

Just as an update - we're looking into this on the libcamera/rpi side. There's a couple of issues. The IMX519 got missed from an IPA tuning data file update, so that needs fixing (you could do this locally yourself to get past this if you look at the differences between imx477.json and imx519.json in the exposure_modes section), and maybe in that event we shouldn't be calling a fatal assertion, just disallowing that exposure profile.

@webgps Can you confirm what sensor module you are using please?

[kbingham]

Oh I posted here 'minutes' too soon, as just after I sent this Naush has posted relevant patches.

Could you test the patches from https://patchwork.libcamera.org/project/libcamera/list/?series=3912 please?

[ayufan]

Thank you @kbingham. I will be able to test it next week.

Would it be possible for you folks to also fix the https://github.com/ayufan/camera-streamer/issues/67#issuecomment-1577385614? It seems to be NULL pointer access violation.

[kbingham]

Thank you @kbingham. I will be able to test it next week.

Patches for this issue now merged to libcamera to https://git.libcamera.org/libcamera/libcamera.git/commit/?id=0ee9339331c648232e87d2de2ccd5a92cc61cab2

Would it be possible for you folks to also fix the #67 (comment)? It seems to be NULL pointer access violation.

Could this be broken out to a separate issue please?
