[RFC v1 3/6] drm: Add a capability flag to support additional flip completion signalling

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

 



If a driver supports this capability, it means that there would be an
additional signalling mechanism for a page flip completion in addition
to out_fence or DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT.

This capability may only be relevant for Virtual KMS drivers and is currently
used only by virtio-gpu. Also, it can provide a potential solution for:
