Drivers have to explicitly set ->no_vblank to true for drm_atomic_helper_fake_vblank() to actually do something, and I seriously hope drivers won't set that field randomly. So, on all existing drivers but VC4 after the TXP patch, the behavior will be unchanged, and the core will spot misbehaving drivers just like before. > -Daniel > > > --- > > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c | 4 ++++ > > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c > > index ca586993c2a2..1a088462bc42 100644 > > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c > > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c > > @@ -1448,6 +1448,8 @@ void drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail(struct drm_atomic_state *old_state) > > > > drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_enables(dev, old_state); > > > > + drm_atomic_helper_fake_vblank(old_state); > > + > > drm_atomic_helper_commit_hw_done(old_state); > > > > drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks(dev, old_state); > > @@ -1477,6 +1479,8 @@ void drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail_rpm(struct drm_atomic_state *old_state) > > drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes(dev, old_state, > > DRM_PLANE_COMMIT_ACTIVE_ONLY); > > > > + drm_atomic_helper_fake_vblank(old_state); > > + > > drm_atomic_helper_commit_hw_done(old_state); > > > > drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks(dev, old_state); > > -- > > 2.14.1 > > > _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
