Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

When doing an atomic modeset with ALLOW_MODESET drivers are allowed to pull in arbitrary other resources, including CRTCs (e.g. when reconfiguring global resources). But in nonblocking mode userspace has then no idea this happened, which can lead to spurious EBUSY calls, both: - when that other CRTC is currently busy doing a page_flip the ALLOW_MODESET commit can fail with an EBUSY - on the other CRTC a normal atomic flip can fail with EBUSY because of the additional commit inserted by the kernel without userspace's knowledge For blocking commits this isn't a problem, because everyone else will just block until all the CRTC are reconfigured. Only thing userspace can notice is the dropped frames without any reason for why frames got dropped. Consensus is that we need new uapi to handle this properly, but no one has any idea what exactly the new uapi should look like. Since this has been shipping for years already compositors need to deal no matter what, so as a first step just try to enforce this across drivers better with some checks. v2: Add comments and a WARN_ON to enforce this only when allowed - we don't want to silently convert page flips into blocking plane updates just because the driver is buggy. v3: Fix inverted WARN_ON (Pekka). v4: Drop the uapi changes, only add a WARN_ON for now to enforce some rules for drivers. v5: Make the WARNING more informative (Daniel) v6: Add unconditional debug output for compositor hackers to figure out what's going on when they get an EBUSY (Daniel) v7: Fix up old/new_crtc_state confusion for real (Pekka/Ville) Acked-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Stone <daniels@collabora.com> References: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2018-July/182281.html Bugzilla: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/24#note_9568 Cc: Daniel Stone <daniel@fooishbar.org> Cc: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.co.uk> Cc: Simon Ser <contact@emersion.fr> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200925084651.3250104-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
