[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 15/15] vp9_superframe: Avoid allocations and copies of packet structures

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Up until now, the vp9_superframe bsf used distinct packets for input and
output. But at no point in the bsf are the input and output packets used
at the same time (except during a call to av_packet_move_ref()), so that
one can avoid using two packets if one switches to ff_bsf_get_packet_ref
at the same time. This also saves one malloc+free of an AVPacket
structure per filtered packet.
