This brings cursor on DisplayLink USB2.0 device on ChromeOS compositor that requires either crtc'c cursor_set callback or cursor drm_plane. Patch was tested on ChromeOS and Ubuntu 22.04 with Gnome/Wayland

NAK on this patchset. UDL has no HW cursor support, so we won't implement this in the driver. Software blending should be done in userspace, where you
have CPU SIMD available.

Thank you Thomas,

Please check, my answer below Daniel's response.
I think that compositor still benefits cursor blending in the driver.
At least for ChromeOS in which udl based devices are only one without cursor plane support. I believe it can simplify compositor code in this case.

Another topic,
What do you think about "[PATCH 4/4] drm/udl: Shutdown all CRTCs on usb disconnect", IMO it is unrelated and happened to appear more frequently with cursor plane.

Shall I re-upload it as separate patchset?

I think for drivers which do cpu upload and are vblank driven there's
maybe a case for kernel implemented cursors due to latency reduction if
the blending happens as late as possible. But udl just goes right ahead
and uploads, so this doesn't help I think. damage tracking should, but we
already have that.

Sorry, I don't get what you mean here. This implementation uploads only damaged primary plane area (gathered in udl_cursor_plane_helper_atomic_update) and uploads it to device in following immediately udl_primary_plane_helper_atomic_update. No full primary plane update is done in this case (which is done only when plane_state->fb != old_plane_state->fb, please check updated udl_primary_plane_helper_atomic_update)

Sorry i don't have hard numbers for that but this in overall should improve cursor latency (especially for move events) in which case whole primary plane render is saved and cursor update can be done without waiting for next vsync of the primary plane.

Ihmo this implementation can be useful to test and implement atomic updates for cursor plane in compositors.

Anyway thanks for your(Daniel and Thomas) responses, if there is something I can do to push it then let me know.

Łukasz Spintzyk

So concurring here.
