I still dislike the name. On Intel hw "async flip" means "flip asap and tear". Whereas the legcay cursor thing i915 has is a normal sync flip. "unthrottled" or something like that would be less confusing. As far as introducing this flag, at least i915 totally lacks a mechanism for deferring the buffer unpinning after the vblank. Hence this can't be used by i915 currently. I think the only reason we get away with the cursor hack is that we unbind the vma lazily and it's unlikely that the small cursor vma is going to get knocked out before the next vblank. For larger buffers that risk grows. We would probably want a stress test that smashes the gtt hard while doing "async updates" to catch this. There's also the question of how out fences work with the async updates. I see that you disallow such an update if there's a previous sync update still pending. That simplifies things a little bit I suppose. But still you would need to track the fences per-plane and signal the old fence ones as soon as the new update overrides the pending update. And if you want to allow multiple planes in one async update then I think the uapi would need to be changed to have per-plane fences as well because subsequent updates could override only a part of a previous update. > It is useful for cursor updates and async PageFlips over the atomic > ioctl, otherwise in some cases updates may be delayed to the point the > user will notice it. > > DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_ASYNC_UPDATE should be passed to the Atomic IOCTL to use > this feature. > > Signed-off-by: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > Hi, > > This is an attempt to introduce the new ASYNC_UPDATE flag for atomic > operations, see the commit message for a more detailed description. > > To test this patch we have created an IGT test that we plan to send to > the ML but also was tested using a small program that exercises the uAPI > for easy sanity testing.
