Document and add support for solid_fill property to drm_plane. In
addition, add support for setting and getting the values for solid_fill.

To enable solid fill planes, userspace must assign a property blob to
the "solid_fill" plane property containing the following information:

struct drm_mode_solid_fill {
          u32 version;
          u32 r, g, b;
};

Another thought about the drm_mode_solid_fill uABI. I still think we
should add alpha here. The reason is the following:

It is true that we have  drm_plane_state::alpha and the plane's
"alpha" property. However it is documented as "the plane-wide opacity
[...] It can be combined with pixel alpha. The pixel values in the
framebuffers are expected to not be pre-multiplied by the global alpha
associated to the plane.".

I can imagine a use case, when a user might want to enable plane-wide
opacity, set "pixel blend mode" to "Coverage" and then switch between
partially opaque framebuffer and partially opaque solid-fill without
touching the plane's alpha value.

Hi Dmitry,

I don't really agree that adding a solid fill alpha would be a good idea. Since the intent behind solid fill is to have a single color for the entire plane, I think it makes more sense to have solid fill rely on the global plane alpha.

As stated in earlier discussions, I think having both a solid_fill.alpha and a plane_state.alpha would be redundant and serve to confuse the user as to which one to set.

That depends on the blending mode: in Coverage mode one has independent plane and contents alpha values. And I consider alpha value to be a part of the colour in the rgba/bgra modes.

Acked -- taking Sebastian's concern into consideration, I think I'll have "PIXEL_SOURCE_SOLID_FILL_RGB" and add a separate "PIXEL_SOURCE_SOLID_FILL_RGBA".

Hi Dmitry,

Since it looks like there's still some ongoing discussion with Pekka about whether to support an RGBA solid fill source, I'll just leave a note to add an RGBA source in the future.

Thanks,

Jessica Zhang
