Two kinds of errors can happen when working with dynamic buffers:
(Re)allocation errors or truncation errors (one has to truncate the
buffer to a size of INT_MAX because avio_close_dyn_buf() and
avio_get_dyn_buf() both return an int). Right now, avio_get_dyn_buf()
returns an empty buffer in either case. But given that
avio_get_dyn_buf() does not destroy the dynamic buffer, one can return
the buffer in case of truncation and let the user check the error flags
and decide for himself instead of hardcoding a single way to proceed
in case of truncation.
(This actually restores the behaviour from before commit
163bb9ac0af495a5cb95441bdb5c02170440d28c.)

Resetting a dynamic buffer means to keep the AVIOContext and the
internal buffer used by the dynamic buffer. This is done in order to
save (re)allocations when one has a workflow where one opens and closes
dynamic buffers in sequence.

In the Libav commit cae448cf, the opaque of every AVIOContext opened
by ffio_fdopen() (which is used internally by avio_open() and avio_open2())
changed: It was a simple pointer to an URLContext before, but now it was
a structure (namely AVIOInternal) containing a pointer to an URLContext
as its only member. The next commits (namely 8c0ceafb and ec4c4839) added
members to AVIOInternal to allow white-/blacklisting of protocols.
But these two commits were never merged into FFmpeg (they were only
merged as no-ops in 510046c2 and 063b26d3), because FFmpeg chose
a different way to implement this (in 93629735); and so our AVIOInternal
still has exactly one member.
This of course means that it is unnecessary to use AVIOInternal as
opaque as it is just adding a level of indirection (not only pointer
dereference, but also wrapper functions). Therefore this commit
removes AVIOInternal entirely and essentially reverts cae448cf.

The documentation of both avio_open() as well as avio_open2() states
that on failure, the pointer to an AVIOContext given to this function
(via a pointer to a pointer to an AVIOContext) will be set to NULL. Yet
it didn't happen upon failure of ffurl_open_whitelist() or when allocating
the internal buffer failed. This commit changes this.

Up until now, using a dynamic buffer entailed at least three
allocations: One for the AVIOContext, one for the AVIOContext's opaque
(which, among other things, contains the small write buffer), and one
for the big buffer that is independently allocated that is returned when
calling avio_close_dyn_buf().
It is possible to avoid the third allocation if one doesn't use a
packetized dynamic buffer, if all the data written so far fit into the
write buffer and if one does not require the actual (big) buffer to have
an indefinite lifetime. This is done by making avio_get_dyn_buf() return
a pointer to the data in the write buffer if nothing has been written to
the main buffer yet. The dynamic buffer will then be freed using
ffio_free_dynamic_buffer (which needed to be modified not to call
avio_close_dyn_buf() internally).
So a typical use-case like:
size = avio_close_dyn_buf(dyn_pb, &buf);
do something with buf
av_free(buf);
can be converted to:
size = avio_get_dyn_buf(dyn_pb, &buf);
do something with buf
ffio_free_dynamic_buffer(&dyn_pb);
In more complex scenarios this can simplify freeing as well, because it
is now clear that freeing always has to be performed via
ffio_free_dynamic_buffer().
Of course, in case this saves an allocation it also saves a memcpy.

This patch makes aviobuf work more like traditinal file IO, which is how people
think about it.
For example, in the past, aviobuf only flushed buffers until the current buffer
position, even if more data was written to it previously, and a backward seek
was used to reposition the IO context.
From now, aviobuf will keep track of the written data, so no explicit seek will
be required till the end of the buffer, or till the end of file before flushing.
This fixes at least one regression, fate-vsynth3-flv was broken if
flush_packets option was set to false, an explicit seek was removed in
4e3cc4bdd8.
Also from now on, if a forward seek in the write buffer were to cause a gap
between the already written data and the new file position, a flush will
happen.
The must_flush varable is also removed, which might have caused needless
flushes with multiple seeks whithin the write buffer. Since we know the amount
of data written to it, we will know when to flush.

This commit optimizes HTTP performance by reducing forward seeks, instead
favoring a read-ahead and discard on the current connection (referred to
as a short seek) for seeks that are within a TCP window's worth of data.
This improves performance because with TCP flow control, a window's worth
of data will be in the local socket buffer already or in-flight from the
sender once congestion control on the sender is fully utilizing the window.
Note: this approach doesn't attempt to differentiate from a newly opened
connection which may not be fully utilizing the window due to congestion
control vs one that is. The receiver can't get at this information, so we
assume worst case; that full window is in use (we did advertise it after all)
and that data could be in-flight
The previous behavior of closing the connection, then opening a new
with a new HTTP range value results in a massive amounts of discarded
and re-sent data when large TCP windows are used. This has been observed
on MacOS/iOS which starts with an initial window of 256KB and grows up to
1MB depending on the bandwidth-product delay.
When seeking within a window's worth of data and we close the connection,
then open a new one within the same window's worth of data, we discard
from the current offset till the end of the window. Then on the new
connection the server ends up re-sending the previous data from new
offset till the end of old window.
Example (assumes full window utilization):
TCP window size: 64KB
Position: 32KB
Forward seek position: 40KB
* (Next window)
32KB |--------------| 96KB |---------------| 160KB
*
40KB |---------------| 104KB
Re-sent amount: 96KB - 40KB = 56KB
For a real world test example, I have MP4 file of ~25MB, which ffplay
only reads ~16MB and performs 177 seeks. With current ffmpeg, this results
in 177 HTTP GETs and ~73MB worth of TCP data communication. With this
patch, ffmpeg issues 4 HTTP GETs and 3 seeks for a total of ~22MB of TCP data
communication.
To support this feature, the short seek logic in avio_seek() has been
extended to call a function to get the short seek threshold value. This
callback has been plumbed to the URLProtocol structure, which now has
infrastructure in HTTP and TCP to get the underlying receiver window size
via SO_RCVBUF. If the underlying URL and protocol don't support returning
a short seek threshold, the default s->short_seek_threshold is used
This feature has been tested on Windows 7 and MacOS/iOS. Windows support
is slightly complicated by the fact that when TCP window auto-tuning is
enabled, SO_RCVBUF doesn't report the real window size, but it does if
SO_RCVBUF was manually set (disabling auto-tuning). So we can only use
this optimization on Windows in the later case

It is supposed to be a flag. The only currently defined value is
AVIO_SEEKABLE_NORMAL, but other ones may be added in the future.
However all the current lavf code treats this field as a bool (mainly
for historical reasons).
Change all those cases to properly check for AVIO_SEEKABLE_NORMAL.
This allows callers with avio write callbacks to get the bytestream
positions that correspond to keyframes, suitable for live streaming.
In the simplest form, a caller could expect that a header is written
to the bytestream during the avformat_write_header, and the data
output to the avio context during e.g. av_write_frame corresponds
exactly to the current packet passed in.
When combined with av_interleaved_write_frame, and with muxers that
do buffering (most muxers that do some sort of fragmenting or
clustering), the mapping from input data to bytestream positions
is nontrivial.
This allows callers to get directly information about what part
of the bytestream is what, without having to resort to assumptions
about the muxer behaviour.
One keyframe/fragment/block can still be split into multiple (if
they are larger than the aviocontext buffer), which would call
the callback with e.g. AVIO_DATA_MARKER_SYNC_POINT, followed by
AVIO_DATA_MARKER_UNKNOWN for the second time it is called with
the following data.

Since all URLContexts have the same AVOptions, such AVOptions
will be applied on the outermost context only and removed from the
dict, while they probably make sense on all contexts.
This makes sure that rw_timeout gets propagated to the innermost
URLContext (to make sure it gets passed to the tcp protocol, when
opening a http connection for instance).
Alternatively, such matching options would be kept in the dict
and only removed after the ffurl_connect call.

This reverts commit 9f9ed79d4c.
The hlsopts member was never set anywhere and always NULL, furthermore
the HLS demuxer needs to retrieve the proper options from the underlying
http protocol (cookies, user-agent, etc), so a dummy context won't help.
Instead, use the AVIOContext directly to access the options.
