[PATCH 0/3] Experimental freesync video mode optimization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Changes in V5
=============

* More info in commit messages on the rationale of changes being added
to the kernel.
* Minor fixes

Changes in V4
=============

1) Add module parameter for freesync video mode

* Change module parameter name to freesync_video

2) Add freesync video modes based on preferred modes:

* Cosmetic fixes
* Added comments about all modes being added by the driver.

3) Skip modeset for front porch change

* Added more conditions for checking freesync video mode

Changes in V3
=============

1) Add freesync video modes based on preferred modes:

* Cache base freesync video mode during the first iteration to avoid
  iterating over modelist again later.
* Add mode for 60 fps videos

2) Skip modeset for front porch change

* Fixes for bug exposed by caching of modes.

Changes in V2
=============

1) Add freesync video modes based on preferred modes:

* Remove check for connector type before adding freesync compatible
  modes as VRR support is being checked, and there is no reason to block
  freesync video support on eDP.
* use drm_mode_equal() instead of creating same functionality.
* Additional null pointer deference check
* Removed unnecessary variables.
* Cosmetic fixes.

2) Skip modeset for front porch change

* Remove _FSV string being appended to freesync video modes so as to not
  define new policies or break existing application that might use the
  mode name to figure out mode resolution.
* Remove unnecessary variables
* Cosmetic fixes.

This patchset enables freesync video mode usecase where the userspace
can request a freesync compatible video mode such that switching to this
mode does not trigger blanking.

This feature is guarded by a module parameter which is disabled by
default. Enabling this paramters adds additional modes to the driver
modelist, and also enables the optimization to skip modeset when using
one of these modes.
