[PATCH v2 00/12] drm: Add generic fbdev emulation

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

 



This patchset adds generic fbdev emulation for drivers that supports GEM
based dumb buffers which support .gem_prime_vmap and gem_prime_mmap. An
API is begun to support in-kernel clients in general.

Notable changes since version 1:

- Rework client unregister code. I've used reference counting to manage
  the fact that both the client itself and the driver through
  drm_dev_unregister() can release the client. The client is now released
  using drm_client_put() instead of drm_client_free().

- fbdev: Use a shadow buffer for framebuffers that have a dirty
  callback. This makes the fbdev client truly generic and useable for all
  drivers. There's a blitting penalty, but this is generic emulation after
  all. The reason for needing a shadow buffer is that deferred I/O only
  works with kmalloc/vmalloc buffers and not with shmem buffers
  (page->lru/mapping).

- Let tinydrm use the full fbdev client

Noralf.

Changes since version 1:
- Make it possible to embed struct drm_client_dev and drop the private
  pointer
- Use kref reference counting to control client release since both the
  client and the driver can release.
- Add comment about using dma-buf as a possibility with some rework
- Move buffer NULL check to drm_client_framebuffer_delete()
- Move client name to struct drm_client_dev
- Move up drm_dev_get/put calls to make them more visible
- Move drm_client_dev.list definition to later patch that makes use of it

- Embed drm_client at the beginning of drm_fb_helper to avoid a fragile
  transitional kfree hack in drm_client_release()
- Set owner in drm_fbdev_fb_ops
- Add kerneldoc to drm_fb_helper_generic_probe()

- Remove unused functions
- Change name drm_client_funcs.lastclose -> .restore
- Change name drm_client_funcs.remove -> .unregister
- Rework unregister code

- tinydrm: Use drm_fbdev_generic_setup() and remove
  drm_fb_cma_fbdev_init_with_funcs()
