Only several SSPP blocks support such features as YUV output or scaling,
thus different DRM planes have different features.  Properly utilizing
all planes requires the attention of the compositor, who should
prefer simpler planes to YUV-supporting ones. Otherwise it is very easy
to end up in a situation when all featureful planes are already
allocated for simple windows, leaving no spare plane for YUV playback.

To solve this problem make all planes virtual. Each plane is registered
as if it supports all possible features, but then at the runtime during
the atomic_check phase the driver selects backing SSPP block for each
plane.

Note, this does not provide support for using two different SSPP blocks
for a single plane or using two rectangles of an SSPP to drive two
planes. Each plane still gets its own SSPP and can utilize either a solo
rectangle or both multirect rectangles depending on the resolution.

Note #2: By default support for virtual planes is turned off and the
driver still uses old code path with preallocated SSPP block for each
plane. To enable virtual planes, pass 'msm.dpu_use_virtual_planes=1'
kernel parameter.

There will be some rebase needed to switch back to encoder based allocation so I am not going to comment on those parts and will let you handle that when you post v3.

But my questions/comments below are for other things.

Can you please explain a bit more about the planes_changed condition?

1) Are we doing this because the plane's atomic check happens before the CRTC atomic check?

Yes. Another alternative would be to stop using drm_atomic_helper_check() and implement our own code instead, inverting the plane / CRTC check order.


I am fine with that too but as you noted in (3), if planes_changed will be set by those functions and you can drop explicit assignment of it in this patch, that will be the best option for me.


2) So the DRM core sets this to true already when plane is switching CRTCs or being connected to a CRTC for the first time, we need to handle the conditions additional to that right?

Nit: it is not possible to switch CRTCs. Plane first has to be disconnected and then to be connected to another CRTC.


3) If (2) is correct, arent there other conditions then to be handled for setting planes_changed to true?

Some examples include, switching from a scaling to non-scaling scenario, needing rotation vs not needing etc.

Setting the plane_changed is not required. Both drm_atomic_helper_disable_plane() and drm_atomic_helper_update_plane() will add the plane to the state. Then drm_atomic_helper_check_planes() will call drm_atomic_helper_plane_changed(), setting {old_,new_}crtc_state->planes_changed.

I should check if the format check below is required or not. It looks like I can drop that clause too.


Yes, please do. From the above explanation, it seems like we dont need to explicity set it again ourselves for format change.



I have a basic doubt about the split between dpu_plane_atomic_check Vs dpu_crtc_atomic_check() because the next patch is also relying heavily on the fact that plane's atomic check comes first and then crtc.

Please help me understand this better.

-> dpu_plane_virtual_atomic_check() is called and today that doesnt seem to do much :

	- marks visible as false if there is no fb
	(wouldnt the DRM core already do this?)
	- caches the format
	(this part is used in the dpu_crtc_atomic_check())

-> dpu_crtc_atomic_check() gets called which calls dpu_crtc_assign_plane_resources() which finally reserves the SSPPs to back the planes

-> perform dpu_plane_atomic_check() on each of the planes on the CRTC by checking the planes attached to CRTC state

1) What would be wrong to continue using dpu_plane_atomic_check() instead of the newly created dpu_plane_virtual_atomic_check() to get the backing SSPPs because it seems we need to maintain lot of information in the dpu_plane_state to manage co-ordination between the two atomic checks? A big portion of even the next patch does that.

2) Even dpu_plane_atomic_check() / dpu_plane_virtual_atomic_check() is called only for each plane in the CRTC state, so why all the movement to crtc's atomic_check()? I am missing the link here. Was it done only to move all resource allocation to CRTC ID?
