Hi All,

Hello All,

I'm trying the top-of-trunk drm-2.6 trees (both drm-next and
drm-radeon-testing) with my Radeon HD 3200 GPU over HDMI. The primary
application is mythtv which uses DRM syncing for the frame
syncronisation. Now, with the exact same userland software I noticed the
introduction of sync gliches in the May-timeframe. The
drm-radeon-testing on May 9 was still ok, but both drm-next and
drm-radeon-testing at the end of May showed that glitch: every couple of
seconds there's a very visual hickup, especially in scroll texts.

Apologies for such an unspecific description, and for what almost seems
like a support request for MythTV. I wouldn't post here if I were not
100% sure it must be related with the recent drm changes.
Note that the DRM APIs are intended for use by userspace components of
graphics drivers / API libraries, not applications directly. MythTV
shouldn't use the DRM directly for synchronization but rather use GLX
synchronization APIs.

Any chance you can bisect the problematic commit?

I did a second attempt at bisecting and now I'm confident it is this commit which broke my real-time performance in mythtv:

commit eb1f8e4f3be898df808e2dfc131099f5831d491d
Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxxxx>

    drm/fbdev: rework output polling to be back in the core. (v4)

Having found the commit is the good news. The bad news is that this commit is rather large, so again I'd be depended on the experts around here to isolate what's going on.

Dave, would you mind giving a hand as well as the author of this commit?

Thanks
Marius
