My midlayer-smell-o-meter just cranked up to 11 when reading this comment
;-)

I'd have expected:
- Drivers to check the power state and enable the gpu if it's off in their
  cs ioctl (instead of the brute-force every ioctl there is approach in
  the drm core)
- Launch a delayed work item to cut the power again once they notice that
  the gpu is idle (dunno how radeon/nouveau work exactly, but i915 has
  this nice retire_requests work item which does a few similar things for
  power management, like lvds downclocking)
- Same thing for any other kind of usage, like e.g. kms: Drivers can wrap the
  crtc helper set_mode to ensure the gpu is on and also check for any
  enabled outputs before launching the delayed power off switch. Same
  applies to any sysfs/debugfs files (although in the case of i915.ko,
  many of these don't need the hw to be on).

I guess you could add a small vga_switcheroo_dynamic_power_state struct or
something with a few helpers to do that to extract some duplicated code
from drivers. But tbh managing a piece of state lazily with a
timer/delayed work item is a common code pattern, so I don't think even
that little bit of code sharing is worth it.

Cheers, Daniel

PS: I've read a bit around in the switcheroo code and I think the
switcheroo ->can_switch callback is actually worse ... since the drm
drivers just check the open_count (which is hilariously racy in itself,
too) and there's no locking to ensure that stays the same between the
->can_switch check and the actual ->set_state calls ...

/me needs morning coffee to think this through
