I replied to that patch, I think we need to rethink the helper callbacks to make this work. The general direction make sense to me though. > 3) Make EDID caching easier and unified across drivers.

Caching is Real Hard, and I don't think something generic will work: - On DP, hpd works and will reliable tell you when you need to invalidate stuff. Except when you have a downstream port to something else (hdmi, vga, whatever). I think this is best solved by making the shared helpers for DP a lot better. - HDMI is supposed to work, except it's not. You can't rely on hpd, any caching needs to have a time limit. I guess we could share some code here. - Everything else is much worse, and caching is a no-go. At most a time-based cache that invalidates and re-probes. - Built-in panels are special. - One issue with all this is that currently the hpd helpers we have (not the stuff in i915) don't even forward which hpd signalled which connector. - Another fun is handling invalidations in general. System suspend/resume is real fun that way ... 4) Fix the locking (well, entire lack thereof) between the probe paths (protected by mode_config.mutex), and the atomic modeset paths (protected by mode_config.connection_mutex). Yes that's feature creep but I think any redesign of the probe code should have a answer to that too. > All of this is opt-in, using the helper from patch 6/7.

I feel like we'd need a bit more conversion when merging, to make sure it all makes sense. Ending up with 2 not really useful ways to handle probing in the helpers would be worse than what we have now. -Daniel > > BR, > Jani. > > > Jani Nikula (7): > drm: reset ELD if NULL edid is passed to drm_edid_to_eld > drm: move edid property update and add modes out of edid firmware > loader > drm: abstract override and firmware edid > drm: export load edid firmware > drm: make drm_get_displayid() available outside of drm_edid.c > drm: add new drm_mode_connector_get_edid to do drm_get_edid and > friends > drm/i915: replace intel_ddc_get_modes with drm_mode_connector_get_edid > > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c | 10 +++---- > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c | 18 ++++-------- > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_probe_helper.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++------- > drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h | 1 - > drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dvo.c | 5 ++-- > drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_modes.c | 23 --------------- > drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_sdvo.c | 2 +- > include/drm/drm_connector.h | 6 ++++ > include/drm/drm_edid.h | 8 +++-- > 10 files changed, 120 insertions(+), 58 deletions(-) > > -- > 2.1.4 > > _______________________________________________ > Intel-gfx mailing list > Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
