Hi Christian,
i'm working on nxp i.mx8 platform, as far as i know, kmssink cannot run with window system based on drm, i think kmssink is a good plugin for video playback because of flex display configure and multi screen support. We need this feature to support it.
best regards,
Jared

Hi Jared,
I met a problem that the kmssink will have permission issue when running with x11 and wayland.
This is intentional, at least with the current DRM KMS API design only one application is allowed to control a DRM device.
So I’m change the code to use control node “controlD64” for display and file node card0 for memory management. It work really well.
That sounds like a rather big bug to me, as far as I know control nodes are completely deprecated and should never be used concurrently with the DRM master on the primary node.
What hardware are trying this on?
Regards,
Christian.

Hi All,
I’m a gstreamer developer and is trying to implement a video display plugin based on DRM/KMS which is named “kmssink”.
I met a problem that the kmssink will have permission issue when running with x11 and wayland. Because these two window system will hold DRM-Master in their life time. So I’m change the code to use control node “controlD64” for display and file node card0 for
memory management. It work really well. Video can show on multi display with wayland and x11. But I notice that in the Linux kernel mainline, below commit remove the control node:

drm: Nerf DRM_CONTROL nodes
Looking at the ioctl permission checks I noticed that it's impossible
to import gem buffers into a control nodes, and fd2handle/handle2fd
also don't work, so no joy with dma-bufs.
The only way to do anything with a control node is by drawing stuff
into a dumb buffer and displaying that. I suspect control nodes are an
entirely unused thing, and a cursory check shows that there does not
seem to be any callers of drmOpenControl nor of the other drmOpen
functions using DRM_MODE_CONTROL.
Since I don't like dead uabi, let's remove it. But since this would be
a really big change I think it's better to start out small by simply
not registering anything. We can garbage-collect the dead code later
on, once we're sure it's really not used anywhere.
This will have big impace on my case, and I cannot figure out how to fix this issue. I think control node is useful, actually many users are using this node for application development including rockchip and amlogic. details please refer to:

I‘m sending this mail for require restoring control node in file system, or is there any other way to fix my permission issue?
Thanks.
