I'm not terribly thrilled by this either, but it's the only way to do this when using the DMA API because we don't know at allocation time (or import time for that matter) which of the (up to) 4 display controllers a framebuffer will be shown on. tegra_dc_pin() is the earliest where this is known and worst case that's called once per flip. When the IOMMU API is used explicitly, we always map framebuffers into the IOMMU domain shared by all display controllers at allocation or import time and then we don't need to pin at flip time anymore. I do have a work-in-progress patch somewhere that creates a mapping cache to mitigate this problem to some degree. I need to dig that up and do a few measurements because I vaguely recall this speeding up flips by quite a bit (well, except for the very first mapping, obviously). > Perhaps dumb buffers should be pinned to display by default and then we > should extend the Tegra UAPI to support BO mapping to display client(?). That would kind of defeat the purpose of a generic KMS UAPI. Thierry
