[RFC PATCH 0/3] i915 writeback private framework

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

 



A patch series was floated in the drm mailing list which aimed to change
the drm_connector and drm_encoder fields to pointer in the
drm_connector_writeback structure, this received a huge pushback from
the community but since i915 expects each connector present in the
drm_device list to be a intel_connector but drm_writeback framework.

This forces us to use a drm_connector which is not embedded in
intel_connector the current drm_writeback framework becomes very
unfeasible to us as it would mean a lot of checks at a lot of places
to take into account the above issue.Since no one had an issue with
encoder field being changed into a pointer it was decided to break the
connector and encoder pointer changes into two different series.The
encoder field changes is currently being worked upon by Abhinav Kumar

In the meantime for i915 to start using the writeback functionality we
came up with a interim solution to own writeback pipeline bypassing one
provided by drm which is what these patches do.
Note: these are temp patches till we figure out how we can either change
drm core writeback to work with our intel_connector structure or find a
different solution which allows us to work with the current
drm_writeback framework
