Camera2 and Renderscript Allocations

Question

I'm trying to use an Allocation created with the USING_IO_INPUT flag to get images from the camera. I'm setting it up as follows

Type.Builder yuvType = new Type.Builder(mRS, Element.YUV(mRS));
                yuvType.setYuvFormat(imageReaderFormat);
                yuvType.setX(mCameraWidth).setY(mCameraHeight);
mAllocation = Allocation.createTyped(mRS, yuvType.create(), Allocation
                        .MipmapControl.MIPMAP_NONE,
                        Allocation.USAGE_IO_INPUT | Allocation.USAGE_SCRIPT);
mAllocation.setOnBufferAvailableListener(mOnBufferAllocationAvailable);

I'm adding the Allocation surface to a Preview Session, and getting the callbacks to my very simple function

public void onBufferAvailable(Allocation allocation) {
     allocation.ioReceive();
     //mPixels is properly initialised
     allocation.copyTo(mPixels);
}

This setup works on a Nexus 5X, but fails on a Nexus 4 running 5.1.1. When I call allocation.ioReceive() in the callback, I get a few warnings printed from the driver, and copying from the Allocation to a byte array results in garbage being copied.

W/Adreno-RS: <rsdVendorAllocationUnMapQCOM:394>: NOT Found allocation map for alloc 0xa1761000
W/Adreno-GSL: <gsl_ldd_control:427>: ioctl fd 25 code 0xc01c0915 (IOCTL_KGSL_MAP_USER_MEM) failed: errno 22 Invalid argument
W/Adreno-RS: <rsdVendorAllocationMapQCOM:288>: gsl_memory_map_fd failed -5 hostptr: 0xa0112000 sz: 0 offset: 0 flags: 0x10c0b00 alloc: 0xa1761000

I am running the camera in a background thread, although onBufferAvailable gets called in the "RSMessageThread".

Is this problem related to the way I am setting the Allocations and the Camera Preview, or is it a bug in the driver?

I see the same error message on a Samsung Galaxy S4 (Smart Phone), android version 5.0 (API 21), but do not with the identical application using camera2 and renderscript, on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 5 (Tablet), android version 5.1.1 (API 22). I'm assuming it is an early implementation problem on the device vendors part.

In the meantime it is well known, that API 21 is not yet fit for Camera2. Start using it for API>= 22. – Settembrini Apr 05 '16 at 21:19

Have you tried the official HDR-viewfinder example? If this works on the Nexus 4, then you can study that example.

If not, you can try with my implementation YUV_420_888 to Bitmap that uses a different approach, not via YUV-allocations but via byte-allocation using the Information from the three image planes.
