Hi,
Could you please suggest me on this?
The requirement is to render interlaced alternate buffers. In case of
alternate, top field and bottom field are in two different buffers.
The question is, can we pass existing flags DRM_MODE_PRESENT_TOP_FIELD
and DRM_MODE_PRESENT_TOP_FIELD to DRM_IOCTL_MODE_SETPLANE ioctl?
But in case if urrent frame out of display range, application
will invoke DRM_IOCTL_MODE_PAGE_FLIP ioctl. So, it is not guaranteed
that application will always call setplane(), it may also call page_flip().
Then we will have to introduce two more flags to pass with page_flip()
ioctl, which is complicating things.
Background of DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DIRTYFB ioctl: This ioctl is defined, so
that userspace can notify the driver that an area of framebuffer has
changed and should be flushed to display hardware.
The proposed solution is to introduce new dirty fb flags, so that userspace
can pass them with every alternate field buffer and the same is reached
display hardware. This patch adds new dirty framebuffer flags, so that
application can pass interlaced alternate field information to driver.
