[RFC PATCH 00/17] VKMS: Add configfs support

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

 



Hi everyone,

This RFC implements support to configure VKMS using configfs.
It allows to:

 - Create multiple devices
 - Configure multiple overlay planes, CRTCs, encoders and
   connectors
 - Enable or disable cursor plane and writeback connector for
   each CRTC
 - Hot-plug/unplug connectors after device creation
 - Disable the creation of the default VKMS instance to be
   able to use only the configfs ones

This work is based on a previous attempt to implement configfs
support by Jim Shargo and Brandon Pollack [1].
I tried to keep the changes as minimal and simple as possible
and addressed Sima's comments on [1].

Currently, there is another RFC by Louis Chauvet [2]. As I
mentioned on his RFC, I'm not trying to push my implementation.
Instead, I think that having 2 implementations will make code
review way easier and I don't mind which implementation is used
as long as we get the feature implemented :)

I'm looking forward to analyzing Louis's implementation, seeing
what the differences are and finding a common solution.

What's missing?

 - DebugFS only works for the default VKMS instance.
   If we want to support it on instances created with configfs
   I'll need to implement it.

Known bugs:

 - When a CRTC is added and removed before device creation, there
   is a vblank warning.
   The issue is caused because vblanks are referenced using the
   CRTC index but, because one of the CRTCs is removed, the
   indices are not consecutives and drm_crtc_vblank_crtc() tries to
   access and invalid index
   I'm not sure if CRTC's indices *must* start at 0 and be
   consecutives or if this is a bug in the drm_crtc_vblank_crtc()
   implementation.

Best wishes,
José Expósito
