This should switch the existing code over to using drm_framebuffer instead
of fbdev:

Please DONT do that. The code here is fbdev code and shouldn't bother about
DRM data structures. Actually, it shouldn't be here: a number of fbdev
drivers with deferred I/O contain similar code and the fbdev module should
provide us with a helper. (I think I even had some patches somewhere.)
Well my thinking is that it's a drm driver,

Yes, I actually agree with this, and the code looks quite good. And I
really want to adopt it.

Because here is DRM, we should emulate the fbdev in the DRM's way.

The DRM is really the big brother on the behind of emulated fbdev,

who provide the real displayable backing memory and scant out engine to
display such a buffer.


But currently, the fact is,  drm_fb_helper.c still initializes lots of
data structure come from fbdev world.

For example, the drm_fb_helper_fill_fix() and drm_fb_helper_fill_var()
in drm_fb_helper_fill_info() function.

This saying implicitly that the fbdev-generic is a glue layer which copy
damage frame buffer data

from the front end(fbdev layer) to its drm backend.  It's not a 100%
replacement its fbdev front end,

rather, it relay on it.


so if we have issue with limit
checks blowing up it makes more sense to check them against drm limits.
Plus a lot more people understand those than fbdev. They should all match
anyway, or if they dont, we have a bug.

Yes, this is really what I'm worry about.

I see that  members of struct fb_var_screeninfo can be changed by
user-space. For example, xoffset and yoffset.

There is no change about 'info->var.xres' and 'info->var.yres' from the
userspace,

therefore, they should all match in practice.


User-space can choose a use a smaller dispaly area than 'var.xres x
var.yres',

but that is implemented with 'var.xoffset' and 'var.xoffset'.

But consider that the name 'var', which may stand for 'variation' or
'vary'. This is terrifying.

I imagine, with a shadow buffer, the front end can do any modeset on the
runtime freely,

including change the format of frame buffer on the runtime.  Just do not
out-of-bound.

The middle do the conversion on the fly.


We might also create double shadow buffer size to allow the front end to
pan?

Yeah so the front should be able to pan. And the front-end can
actually make xres/yres smalle than drm_fb->height/width, so we _have_
to use the fb side of things. Otherwise it's a bug I just realized.

What are you talking about? The GEM buffer is a full fbdev framebuffer, which is screen resolution multiplied by the overall factor. The shadow buffer is exactly the same size. You can already easily pan within these buffers.

There's also no need/way to change video modes or formats in the shadow buffer. If we'd ever support that, it would be implemented in the DRM driver's modesetting. The relationship between GEM buffer and shadow buffer remains unaffected by this.

Best regards
Thomas


The xres_virtual/yres_virtual should always match drm_fb sizes (but
we've had bugs in the past for that, only recently fixed all in
linux-next), because that's supposed to be the max size. And since we
never reallocate the fbdev emulation fb (at least with the current
code) this should never change.

But fundamentally you're bringing up a very good point, we've had
piles of bugs in the past with not properly validating the fbdev side
information in info->var, and a bunch of resulting bugs. So validating
against the drm side of things should be a bit more robust.

It's kinda the same we do for legacy kms ioctls: We translate that to
atomic kms as fast as possible, and then do the entire subsequent
validation with atomic kms data structures.

The thing is, if you change this
further to just pass the drm_framebuffer, then this 100% becomes a drm
function, which could be used by anything in drm really.

I agree with you.

If I use fb_width/fb_height directly and bypassing 'info->var.xres" and
"info->var.yres",

the code style diverged then. As far as I am understanding,  the clip
happen on the front end,

the actual damage update happen at back end.

Using the data structure come with the front end is more reasonable for
current implement.

But also *shrug*.

I can convert this single function to 100% drm with another patch.

But, maybe there also have other functions are not 100% drm

I would like do something to help achieve this in the future,

let me help to fix this bug first?
