Second approach. Instead of trying to convert all drivers straight away, implement all macros that are required to get state working. Current situation: Use obj->state, which can refer to old or new state. Use drm_atomic_get_(existing_)obj_state, which can refer to new or old state. Use for_each_obj_in_state, which refers to new or old state. New situation: When doing some dereferencing outside atomic_state, use drm_atomic_get_current_obj_state which has locking checks, instead of obj->state. During atomic check: - Use drm_atomic_get_obj_state to add a object to the atomic state, or get the new state. - Use drm_atomic_get_(old/new)_obj_state to peek at the new/old state, without adding the object if it's not part of the state. For planes and connectors the relevant crtc_state is added, so this will work to get the crtc_state from foo_state->crtc too, saves some error handling. :) During atomic commit: - Do not use drm_atomic_get_obj_state, obj->state or drm_atomic_get_(existing_)obj_state any more, replace with drm_atomic_get_old/new_obj_state calls as required. During both: - Use for_each_(new,old,oldnew)_obj_in_state to get the old or new state as needed. oldnew will be renamed to for_each_obj_in_state after all callers are converted to the new api. This will give the correct state regardless of swapping. Maarten Lankhorst (4): drm/atomic: Add new iterators over all state, v2. drm/atomic: Add accessor macros for the current state. drm/atomic: Add macros to access existing old/new state drm/atomic: Add checks to ensure get_state is not called after swapping. drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c | 24 +++- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c | 47 ++++++- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c | 11 +- include/drm/drm_atomic.h | 247 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- include/drm/drm_atomic_helper.h | 2 + include/drm/drm_modeset_lock.h | 21 +++ 6 files changed, 338 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
