C Specification

To release OpenCL memory objects that have been created from media surfaces, call the function

// Provided by cl_khr_dx9_media_sharing
cl_int clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR(
    cl_command_queue command_queue,
    cl_uint num_objects,
    const cl_mem* mem_objects,
    cl_uint num_events_in_wait_list,
    const cl_event* event_wait_list,
    cl_event* event);
clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR is provided by the cl_khr_dx9_media_sharing extension.

Parameters

  • num_objects is the number of memory objects to be released in mem_objects.

  • mem_objects is a pointer to a list of OpenCL memory objects that were created from media surfaces.

  • event_wait_list and num_events_in_wait_list specify events that need to complete before this particular command can be executed. If event_wait_list is NULL, then this particular command does not wait on any event to complete. If event_wait_list is NULL, num_events_in_wait_list must be 0. If event_wait_list is not NULL, the list of events pointed to by event_wait_list must be valid and num_events_in_wait_list must be greater than 0.

  • event returns an event object that identifies this command and can be used to query or wait for this command to complete. If event is NULL or the enqueue is unsuccessful, no event will be created and therefore it will not be possible to query the status of this command or to wait for this command to complete. If event_wait_list and event are not NULL, event must not refer to an element of the event_wait_list array.

Description

The media surfaces are released by the OpenCL context associated with command_queue.

OpenCL memory objects created from media surfaces which have been acquired by OpenCL must be released by OpenCL before they may be accessed by the media adapter API. Accessing a media surface while its corresponding OpenCL memory object is acquired is in error and will result in undefined behavior, including but not limited to possible OpenCL errors, data corruption, and program termination.

If CL_CONTEXT_INTEROP_USER_SYNC is not specified as CL_TRUE during context creation, clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR provides the synchronization guarantee that any calls to media adapter APIs involving the interop device(s) used in the OpenCL context made after the call to clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR will not start executing until after all events in event_wait_list are complete and all work already submitted to command_queue completes execution. If the context was created with properties specifying CL_CONTEXT_INTEROP_USER_SYNC as CL_TRUE, the user is responsible for guaranteeing that any media adapter API calls involving the interop device(s) used in the OpenCL context made after clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR will not start executing until after event returned by clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR reports completion.

clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. If num_objects is 0 and <mem_objects> is NULL the function does nothing and returns CL_SUCCESS. Otherwise it returns one of the following errors:

  • CL_INVALID_VALUE if num_objects is zero and mem_objects is not a NULL value or if num_objects > 0 and mem_objects is NULL.

  • CL_INVALID_MEM_OBJECT if memory objects in mem_objects are not valid OpenCL memory objects or if memory objects in mem_objects have not been created from valid media surfaces.

  • CL_INVALID_COMMAND_QUEUE if command_queue is not a valid command-queue.

  • CL_INVALID_CONTEXT if context associated with command_queue was not created from a media object.

  • CL_DX9_MEDIA_SURFACE_NOT_ACQUIRED_KHR if memory objects in mem_objects have not previously been acquired using clEnqueueAcquireDX9MediaSurfacesKHR, or have been released using clEnqueueReleaseDX9MediaSurfacesKHR since the last time that they were acquired.

  • CL_INVALID_EVENT_WAIT_LIST if event_wait_list is NULL and num_events_in_wait_list > 0, or event_wait_list is not NULL and num_events_in_wait_list> is 0, or if event objects in event_wait_list are not valid events.

  • CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
