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?

 

Today checked kernel 5.15.43-sunxi and 5.17.11-sunxi - same issue

[    0.000000] cma: Reserved 128 MiB at 0x75c00000

128MiB cma is probably not sufficient according to here:

Quote

Decoding H.264/H.265 videos can require a large amount of CMA memory,  so it is recommended to set a large CMA pool, e.g. using the cma kernel  command line parameter. For instance, 256 MiB should be enough to  decode 1080p H.264 videos: cma=256M.

 

THANK YOU!!

 

I added

extraargs=cma=256M

to /boot/armbianEnv.txt and it works now.
