Hi, This work from me and Simon adds support for DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC through the atomic API. This feature is already available via the legacy API. The use case is to be able to present a new frame immediately (or as soon as possible), even if after missing a vblank. This might result in tearing, but it's useful when a high framerate is desired, such as for gaming. Differently from earlier versions, this one refuses to flip if any prop changes for async flips. The idea is that the fast path of immediate page flips doesn't play well with modeset changes, so only the fb_id can be changed. Tested with: - Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 - AMD VanGogh Thanks, André - User-space patch: https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/pull/595 - IGT tests: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231110163811.24158-1-andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from v8: - Dropped atomic_async_page_flip_not_supported, giving that current design works with any driver that support atomic and async at the same time. - Dropped the patch that disabled atomic_async_page_flip_not_supported for AMD. - Reordered commits v8: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231025005318.293690-1-andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from v7: - Only accept flips to primary planes. If a driver support flips in different planes, support will be added later. v7: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20231017092837.32428-1-andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from v6: - Dropped the exception to allow MODE_ID changes (Simon) - Clarify what happens when flipping with the same FB_ID (Pekka) v6: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20230815185710.159779-1-andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from v5: - Add note in the docs that not every redundant attribute will result in no-op, some might cause oversynchronization issues. v5: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20230707224059.305474-1-andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from v4: - Documentation rewrote by Pekka Paalanen v4: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20230701020917.143394-1-andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from v3: - Add new patch to reject prop changes - Add a documentation clarifying the KMS atomic state set v3: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20220929184307.258331-1-contact@xxxxxxxxxxx/ André Almeida (1): drm: Refuse to async flip with atomic prop changes Pekka Paalanen (1): drm/doc: Define KMS atomic state set Simon Ser (2): drm: allow DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC for atomic commits drm: introduce DRM_CAP_ATOMIC_ASYNC_PAGE_FLIP Documentation/gpu/drm-uapi.rst | 47 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_uapi.c | 77 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc_internal.h | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_ioctl.c | 4 ++ drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mode_object.c | 2 +- include/uapi/drm/drm.h | 10 +++- include/uapi/drm/drm_mode.h | 9 ++++ 7 files changed, 142 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) -- 2.42.1
