[PATCH] drm: Simplify fb refcounting rules around ->update_plane

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

 



The introduction of primary planes has apparently caused a bit of fb
refcounting fun for people. That makes it a good time to clean up the
arcane rules and slight differences between ->update_plane and
->set_config. The new rules are:

- The core holds a reference for both the new and the old fb (if their
  non-NULL of course) while calling into the driver through either
  ->update_plane or ->set_config.

- Drivers may not clobber plane->fb if their callback fails. If they
  do that, they need to store a pointer to the old fb in it again.
  When calling into the driver plane->fb still points at the current
  (old) framebuffer.

- The core will update the plane->fb pointer on success. Drivers can
  do that themselves too.

- The core will update fb refcounts for the plane->fb pointer,
  presuming the drivers hold up their end of the bargain.
