Hi, Lukasz!
(Sorry for top-posting).
We have Deepak from our team working on the same subject. I think he's
in over the holidays so I'll add him to the CC list.
Adding damage to the plane state is, IMO the correct way to do it.
However, from your proposal it's not clear whether damage is given in
the plane-, crtc- or framebuffer coordinates. The last conclusion from
our email thread discussion was that they should be given in framebuffer
coordinates with helpers to compute plane coordinates or crtc
coordinates. The reason being that it's easier for user-space apps to
send damage that way, and again, we have the full information that we
can clip and scale if necessary. Most drivers probably want the damage
in clipped plane- or crtc coordinates. Helpers could for example be in
the form of region iterators.
Full (multi-rect) damage regions are OK with us, although we should keep
in mind that we won't be able to compute region unions in the kernel
(yet?). Implying: Should we forbid overlapping rects at the interface
level or should we just recommend rects not to be overlapping? The
former would be pretty hard to enforce efficiently.
Another thing we should think about is how to use this interface for the
legacy "dirtyfb" call. Probably we need to clear the damage property on
each state-update, or set a flag that "this is a dirtyfb state update".
IMO we should also have as an end goal of this work to have gnome-shell
on drm sending damage regions on page-flip, which means either porting
gnome-shell to atomic or set up a new legacy page-flip-with-atomic ioctl.
