When changing resolution a regular fbdev driver also changes display timing accordingly (fb_var_screeninfo contains timings as well). The fbdev emulation layer does not change timing, so that was the idea why my patch also rejected any kind of change to the resolution... In the end it is really a definition of the semantics of that userspace API (FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO) and how true DRM emulates them... Using less of the available framebuffer seems safe, especially since line width is handled by pitch/line_length. As far as I remember my case was a fbdev application which fiddled with bpp/depth, which lead to a totally messed up outcome... So my use case will still be fine with your change. I am ok with relaxing that again, so from my side: Acked-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@xxxxxxxx> -- Stefan > > The depths must match though, so keep the != test for that. > > Also update the DRM_DEBUG output to be slightly more accurate, this > doesn't only affect requests from userspace. > > Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/99841 > Fixes: 865afb11949e ("drm/fb-helper: reject any changes to the fbdev") > Signed-off-by: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer@xxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c | 6 +++--- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > index f6d4d9700734..324a688b3f30 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > @@ -1260,9 +1260,9 @@ int drm_fb_helper_check_var(struct fb_var_screeninfo *var, > * to KMS, hence fail if different settings are requested. > */ > if (var->bits_per_pixel != fb->format->cpp[0] * 8 || > - var->xres != fb->width || var->yres != fb->height || > - var->xres_virtual != fb->width || var->yres_virtual != fb->height) { > - DRM_DEBUG("fb userspace requested width/height/bpp different than > current fb " > + var->xres > fb->width || var->yres > fb->height || > + var->xres_virtual > fb->width || var->yres_virtual > fb->height) { > + DRM_DEBUG("fb requested width/height/bpp can't fit in current fb " > "request %dx%d-%d (virtual %dx%d) > %dx%d-%d\n", > var->xres, var->yres, var->bits_per_pixel, > var->xres_virtual, var->yres_virtual, _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
