[PATCH 3/5] drm/i915: Read HDMI EDID only when required

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

 



From: Shashank Sharma <shashank.sharma@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch makes sure that the HDMI detect function
reads EDID only when its forced to do it. All the other
times, it uses the connector->detect_edid which was cached
during hotplug handling in the hdmi_probe() function. As the
probe function gets called before detect in the interrupt handler
and handles the EDID cacheing part, its absolutely safe to assume
that presence of EDID reflects monitor connected and viceversa.

This will save us from many race conditions between hotplug/unplug
detect call handler threads and userspace calls for the same.
The previous patch in this patch series explains this in detail.
