[RFC 0/2] drm/connector: connector iterator with filtering

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

 



Currently i915 assumes all drm_connectors it encounters are embedded in
intel_connectors that i915 allocated. The drm_writeback_connector forces
a design where this is not the case; we can't provide our own connector,
and writeback embeds the drm_connector it initializes itself.

To use drm writeback, none of the i915 connector iteration could assume
the drm connector is embedded in intel_connector. Checking this is
tedious, and would require an intermediate step with
drm_connector. Here's an idea I came up with; filtering at the drm
connector iterator level with a caller supplied function. Not too much
code, and could be used for other things as well.

Mind you, we'd still much rather modify drm writeback to allow passing
the connector i915 allocated, instead of the current midlayer design
that forces drivers to a certain model. Working around this is a bunch
of error prone and tedious code that we really could do without.


BR,
Jani.
