From 7beb691f1e6f349c9df3384a85e7a53c5601aaaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Zimmermann Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2020 13:05:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: Initialize struct drm_crtc_state.no_vblank from device settings At the end of a commit, atomic helpers can generate a fake VBLANK event automatically. Originally implemented for writeback connectors, the functionality can be used by any driver and/or hardware without proper VBLANK interrupt. The patch updates the documentation to make this behaviour official: settings struct drm_crtc_state.no_vblank to true enables automatic generation of fake VBLANK events. The new interface drm_dev_has_vblank() returns true if vblanking has been initialized for a device, or false otherwise. Atomic helpers use this function when initializing no_vblank in the CRTC state in drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset(). If vblanking has been initialized for a device, no_blank is disabled. Otherwise it's enabled. Hence, atomic helpers will automatically send out fake VBLANK events with any driver that did not initialize vblanking. v5: * more precise documentation and commit message v4: * replace drm_crtc_has_vblank() with drm_dev_has_vblank() * add drm_dev_has_vblank() in this patch * move driver changes into separate patches v3: * squash all related changes patches into this patch Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Gerd Hoffmann Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200129120531.6891-2-tzimmermann@suse.de --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c | 10 +++++++++- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vblank.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/drm/drm_crtc.h | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- include/drm/drm_simple_kms_helper.h | 7 +++++-- include/drm/drm_vblank.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 70 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c index 4511c2e07bb9..d7b73cd89b79 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c @@ -583,6 +583,7 @@ mode_valid(struct drm_atomic_state *state) * &drm_crtc_state.connectors_changed is set when a connector is added or * removed from the CRTC. &drm_crtc_state.active_changed is set when * &drm_crtc_state.active changes, which is used for DPMS. + * &drm_crtc_state.no_vblank is set from the result of drm_dev_has_vblank(). * See also: drm_atomic_crtc_needs_modeset() * * IMPORTANT: @@ -649,6 +650,11 @@ drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset(struct drm_device *dev, return -EINVAL; } + + if (drm_dev_has_vblank(dev)) + new_crtc_state->no_vblank = false; + else + new_crtc_state->no_vblank = true; } ret = handle_conflicting_encoders(state, false); @@ -2215,7 +2221,9 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies); * when a job is queued, and any change to the pipeline that does not touch the * connector is leading to timeouts when calling * drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks() or - * drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done(). + * drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done().
