I have discovered today that, while this allows SetCrtc and SetPlane
ioctls to work with frame buffers which do not cover the plane, page
flips are not that lucky and fail roughly with:

[drm:drm_crtc_check_viewport] Invalid fb size 1080x1080 for CRTC
viewport 1920x1080+0+0.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your explanation, but a framebuffer is always
required to fill/cover the plane scanning out of it.  What this patch is
supposed to be allowing is for the primary plane to not cover the entire
CRTC (since that's something that only became possible for Intel
hardware on the gen9+ platforms).  I.e., the primary plane is now
allowed to positioned and resized to cover a subset of the CRTC area,
just like "sprite" planes have always been able to.

If you've got a 1080x1080 framebuffer, then it's legal to have a
1080x1080 primary plane while running in 1920x1080 mode on SKL/BXT.
However it is not legal to size the primary plane as 1920x1080 and use
this same 1080x1080 framebuffer with any of our interfaces (setplane,
setcrtc, pageflip, or atomic).

Are you using ioctls/libdrm directly or are you using igt_kms helpers?
IIRC, the IGT helpers will try to be extra helpful and automatically
size the plane to match the framebuffer (unless you override that
behavior), so that might be what's causing the confusion here.

The problem is clear as day in drm_mode_page_flip_ioctl():
ret = drm_crtc_check_viewport(crtc, crtc->x, crtc->y, &crtc->mode, fb);
if (ret)
	goto out;

The fix should be easy; just extract the current src coordinates from
the plane state and check those against the new fb size. And then hope
that the plane state is really up to date.

Yep, that's the conclusion we came to once Tvrtko explained what he was
seeing on IRC.  I'm not sure whether non-atomic drivers have enough
state setup by the default helpers to work properly.  Worst case we'll
just assume that a non-atomic driver won't support primary plane
windowing (since none have in the past) and fall back to looking at the
mode for legacy non-atomic drivers.


And I'm sure rotated cases will go boom in some other ways. Probably
we should just switch over to using the full plane update for mmio
flips to fix it.

Yeah; the core looks at a drm_plane->invert_dimensions field that's only
set by omap.  That should probably be updated to look at the state's
rotation on atomic-capable drivers.

We can just look at the src coordinates. Those always match the fb
orientation.

Can we just not bother with legacy pageflips on rotated planes? setplane
works and once you rotate it kinda gets nasty anyway.

I don't know - thought it is simple enough to make it work so why not? Just " [PATCH] drm/i915: Consider plane rotation when calculating stride in skl_do_mmio_flip" I posted, plus Matt's "[PATCH] drm: Check fb against plane size rather than CRTC mode for pageflip​" to allow smaller than mode planes.

The problem I see is that with legacy pageflip we also need to hack up
something that doesn't look at plane->state for legacy and all that for a
grand total of about 2 drivers, both getting converted to atomic.

I'll leave the legacy/atomic/etc considerations to the experts. :)

Regards,

Tvrtko
