This +means that the userspace must reconfigure all streams after calling the ioctl +with e.g. ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``. + +Only subdevices which have both sink and source pads can support routing. + +When inspecting routes through ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` and the application +provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes +the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the +value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory +for all the route entries and call ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` again. + +On a successful ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` call the driver updates the +``num_routes`` field to reflect the actual number of routes returned. + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| + +.. c:type:: v4l2_subdev_routing + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_subdev_routing + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``which`` + - Routing table to be accessed, from enum + :ref:`v4l2_subdev_format_whence <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>`. + * - struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route` + - ``routes[]`` + - Array of struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route` entries + * - __u32 + - ``num_routes`` + - Number of entries of the routes array + * - __u32 + - ``reserved``\ [5] + - Reserved for future extensions.
