BTW, I realized in the meantime that we can't use drm_vblank_no_hw_counter directly, because there's a single struct drm_driver used by all amdgpu driver instances. >> You mentioned internally that you ran into trouble when trying this though. >> Please provide more information about that, e.g.: Which base kernel version did >> you test it with?

This is because when enable vsync, every time swap buffers, the DDX driver will call DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK to > queue the vblank event, and the vbl.request.sequence will be set to current_vblank_count + swap_interval.

Looking at the drm_update_vblank_count() code, you also need to do the following in the virtual DCE case: * Set dev->max_vblank_count = 0 * Make amdgpu_get_vblank_timestamp_kms either return values based on when the virtual vblank interrupt timer last fired, or just return a negative error code immediately, instead of calling drm_calc_vbltimestamp_from_scanoutpos * Make amdgpu_get_vblank_counter_kms take the else path (or just return 0 immediately), not run any of the scanout position related code -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
