Re: [PATCH v3 5/8] drm: Handle aspect ratio info in atomic and legacy modeset paths

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Ville,

Thanks yet again to look into this.

I am still skeptical about rejecting the mode, if aspect ratio cap is not set.
Perhaps I am not aware with the userspace expectations.

Please find my response inline:

Hi Ville,

As per our last discussion, following points were discussed:

1. To suppress the aspect-ratio info from getblob ioctl to a user that 
does not support it:

     i. A new flag must be added to drm_blob_property to mark if the 
blob has mode data.

     ii. This flag must be set when the user tries do an atomic modeset.

     iii. In the getblob ioctl, based on the above flag, it can be 
determined that if the blob

     has mode data, and the aspect ratio info can be suppressed in 
getblob ioctl, if user does not support it.

2. Instead of adding aspect ratio capabilities in drm_atomic_state, pass 
on the file_priv which already has

the required information to the function drm_mode_convert_umode.

It will require addition of an new argument file_priv to several 
functions, but that is right thing to do,

as file_priv is the correct structure for the capability information.

3. Changing the usermode aspect ratio flag bits, without change in the
picture_aspect_ratio would not matter, and does not need to be handled 
in this patch.


I just have one query here. We have agreed to modify 
drm_mode_convert_umode, to filter out the aspect-ratio

info if user has not set aspect-ratio capability, but do we need a 
similar change the drm_mode_convert_to_umode?
I think you maybe had those backwards.

drm_mode_convert_umode(), or more likely its relevant callers setcrtc
and setproperty, need to reject the mode if the client cap is not set.
I guess, rejecting the mode, altogether can break the existing user-spaces.
Current user-spaces, oblivious of the aspect-ratio capability in drm, will not set the aspect-ratio capability.
Some of them, might have some garbage value in the aspect ratio bits of the user mode. If we reject such
modes, the user-spaces that were earlier working will break.
(But if we are sure, that the aspect ratio flag bits will all be reset, then it makes sense to reject the mode.)

Instead of rejecting such modes, if we just only ignore the aspect ratio bits in such cases, and carry on with the
modeset for the given user mode, the behaviour would be intact, just as prior to the aspect ratio changes.

 
drm_mode_convert_to_umode(), or rather its callers getblob and getcrtc,
need to filter out the flags.

Yes right. I'll be filtering out the flags in the getblob and getcrtc functions.

Thanks & Regards,
Ankit

      
If we do, I am not sure if it would be possible to have the file_priv to 
/drm_atomic_set_mode_for_crtc/, which calls

drm_mode_convert_to_umode.  The function /drm_atomic_set_mode_for_crtc/ 
is used to set mode, originating by kernel,

and make a blob from the kernel mode, which it saves in crtc_state.

This function /: drm_atomic_set_mode_for_crtc, /is called by several 
helper functions and driver functions, and passing

file_priv from all these functions does not seem to be plausible.
I don't think we need to plumb it quite that deep. Doing the
check in drm_atomic_crtc_set_property() should be sufficient.

Any suggestions on how to handle this situation?


Regards,

Ankit

If the user mode does not support aspect-ratio, and requests for
a modeset, then the flag bits representing aspect ratio in the
given user-mode must be rejected.
Similarly, while preparing a user-mode from kernel mode, the
aspect-ratio info must not be given, if aspect-ratio is not
supported by the user.

This patch:
1. adds a new bit field aspect_ratio_allowed in drm_atomic_state,
which is set only if the aspect-ratio is supported by the user.
2. discards the aspect-ratio info from the user mode while
preparing kernel mode structure, during modeset, if the
user does not support aspect ratio.
3. avoids setting the aspect-ratio info in user-mode, while
converting user-mode from the kernel-mode.

This still looks sketchy.

I believe there are just two places where we need to filter out the
aspect ratio flags from the umode, namely the getblob and getcrtc
ioctls.
AFAIK The getblob ioctl can be called for edid blob, gamma, ctm blob,
etc. apart from the mode blob.
Is there any way to check from blob id (or by any other means),
if the data is for the mode, or edid, or gamma etc.
I think we'd have to somehow mark the mode blobs as special. Until we
have more need for cleaning up blobs before returning them to 
userspace
I think a simple flag should do. If we come up with more uses like 
this
then it might make sense to introduce some kind of optional filter
function for blobs.
If my understanding is correct,
1. To be able to do this, we need to change in uapi.
We should be fine with an internal flag. Obviously it won't be set
for blobs freshly created by userspace, but that's fine because we
do no other error checking for them either. The error checking will
happen when the user tries to actually use the blob.
I am not sure why getblob ioctl should even come into picture. 
(Perhaps I am missing something).
As per my understanding:
If a userspace needs to set a mode, it will just create a blob with 
drm_mode_mode_info,
and get the blob-id. This blob-id would be supplied to 
drm_mode_atomic_ioctl as a crtc
property mode_id.
At the kernel side,  the crtc property mode_id is set by looking-up 
for mode blob from blob id.
I am doing the change in the user mode aspect-ratio flags at this 
junction.

As far as getblob ioctl is concerned, if the user does call getblob 
ioctl for getting mode blob from
the blob id, it will receive the same mode blob, with same aspect 
ratio info which the user had
created using create blob ioctl. If it does want to use the blob, it 
has to come through the
drm_mode_atomic_ioctl way, where aspect ratio flags are handled.

2. Whenever the userspace creates a blob for mode, the new flag/class
for blob type needs to be set.

Do you think that it's worth the effort?
If we can check that, I can make sure that aspect-ratio flags are 
taken
care of, if the blob is for mode,
and the aspect ratio is not supported.

And for checking the user input I think we should probably just
stick that into drm_mode_convert_umode(). Looks like we never call
that from anywhere but the atomic/setprop and setcrtc paths with
a non-NULL argument.

I *think* those three places should be sufficient to cover 
everything.
Agreed. Infact I tried to do that first, but the only problem we have
here, is that, the file_priv
which has the aspect ratio capability information is not supplied 
to the
drm_mode_convert_umode()
or the functions calling, drm_mode_conver_umode(). At best we have
drm_crtc_state.
Simply passing the file_priv down would seem like the most obvious
solution.
This means we have to make change in various drivers and we have to 
pull
the file_priv
parameter three levels down. Should we think of a better way for 
doing this?
Coccinelle is pretty good at modifying function parameters.
Thanks for pointing out Coccinelle, will defintely try that out.
But my question here is whether we really want to drag the file_priv
from drm_mode_atomic_ioctl --> drm_mode_atomic_set_property -->
drm_atomic_crtc_set_property --> drm_mode_set_mode_prop_for_crtc-->
drm_mode_convert_umode.

Instead, I tried to add a new field (allow_aspect_ratio) in 
drm_crtc_state which is
already passed from the drm_mode_atomic_ioctl all the way to
drm_mode_convert_umode.

I have added an aspect ratio allowed flag  in 
drm_crtc_state->state so
that its available in the
functions calling drm_mode_convert_umode.

I am open to suggestion to avoid adding a new flag in 
drm_atomic_state,
if there is a better
way to let the drm_mode_convert_umode( ) know that user supports 
aspect
ratio capability.

These would still clobber the current crtc state. So definitely 
don't
want to do this.
Alright, so alternative way of doing this will be:
Avoid changing the crtc->state->mode.picture_aspect_ratio i.e kernel
mode structure,
but set the aspect ratio flags in the usermode to none, after 
calling the
drm_mode_convert_to_umode().

Will take care of this in the next patchset.
I gave a thought about it again. As you have mentioned earlier that
get_crtc is one of the
place where the user mode aspect ratio flags must be filtered out, is
this what you have
in mind. I hope I did not misunderstand.

Changing the usermode aspect ratio flag bits, without change in the
picture_aspect_ratio
kernel mode will not result in both structures out of sync?
I don't think that should really matter. I suppose we might get one
extra modeset when the user feeds that mode back via setcrtc/atomic, but
meh. And actually the aspect ratio should only affect the infoframe, so
we should be able to eventually eliminate that extra modeset and just
update the infoframe instead.
