[PATCH 00/12] drm/ast: Move cursor vmap calls out of commit tail

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

 



Ast has vmap calls in its cursor's atomic_update function. This is not
supported as vmap might aquire the dma reservation lock. While at it,
cleanup the whole cursor code: the patchset removes all possible runtime
errors from the atomic_update function and reduces the overhead from
vmap calls on the HW cursor BOs to a minimum.

Patches 1 to 3 update the cursor code and prepare before the refactoring.

Patch 4 and 5 inline the cursor update logic into the rsp cursor-plane
functions. This is mostly about moving code around.

Patches 6 to 8 and 12 add a dedicated cursor plane that maintains the two
BOs for HW cursors. The HW cursor BOs are permanently pinned and vmapped
while the cursor plane is initialized. Thus removing the related vmap
operations from atomic_update.

Patches 9 to 11 moves more vmap code out of atomic_update. BOs with cursor
image data from userspace are vmapped and vunmapped in prepare_fb and
cleanup_fb. Instead the actual update of the cursor image is moved from
prepare_fb to atomic_update.

With the patchset applied, all cursor preparation is performed before
the commit-tail functions; while the actual update is performed within.

Tested by running X11 and Weston on ast hardware.
