Vkms copies each plane's framebuffer into the output buffer; essentially
using a shadow buffer. DRM provides struct drm_shadow_plane_state, which
handles the details of mapping/unmapping shadow buffers into memory for
active planes.

Convert vkms to the helpers. Makes vkms use shared code and gives more
test exposure to shadow-plane helpers.

Hi,

Thanks for the patches. The switch to shadow-plane helpers also solved
a bug that was causing a kernel
panic during some IGT kms_flip subtests on the vkms virtual hw patch.

Melissa mention something like that as well and I don't really understand. Patch 3 removes an error message from the code, but is the actual bug also gone?

There's little difference between vkms' original code and the shared helper; except for the order of operations in prepare_fb. The shared helper synchronizes fences before mapping; vkms mapped first.

(Maybe the shared helper should warn about failed vmaps as well. But that's for another patch.)

Best regards
Thomas
