[PATCH 0/3] drm: Add aperture helpers

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

 



Adds helpers for maintaining aperture ownership. Currently wraps
the infrastructure around fbdev's remove_conflicting_framebuffers().

For adding generic drivers to DRM, we need a hand-over mechanism
that unloads the generic driver before loading the hardware's native
driver. So far, this was supported for generic fbdev drivers, but
not for DRM drivers.

As a first step, this patchset provides a DRM interface to release
ownership of a framebuffer aperture. When called, all generic drivers
for framebuffers in the range are being unloaded. At this point
the functions wrap similar fbdev functionality. The old fbdev-based
interface is being inlined into the new functionsa and drivers are
converted.

The patchset is based on patches 3 and 4 of [1]. I incorporated the
review comments and kept the acked-bys.

All converted drivers have been built at least once on either x86-64,
aarch64 or arm.
