tinydrm is also using plane->fb:

Oh dear, and naturally it's the most annoying one of the bunch. So we
want to take the plane lock in the fb.dirty() hook to look at the fb,
but mipi-dbi.c calls that directly from the bowels of its
.atomic_enable() hook. So that would deadlock pretty neatly if the
commit happens while already holding the lock.

So we'd either need to plumb an acquire context into fb.dirty(),
or maybe have tinydrm provide a lower level lockless dirty() hook
that gets called by both (there are just too many layers in this
particular cake to immediately see where such a hook would be best
placed). Or maybe there's some other solution I didn't think of.

Looking at this I'm also left wondering how this is supposed
handle fb.dirty() getting called concurrently with a modeset.
The dirty_mutex only seems to offer any protection for
fb.dirty() against another fb.dirty()...


I have been waiting for the 'page-flip with damage'[1] work to come to
fruition so I could handle all flushing during atomic commit.
The idea is to use the same damage rect for a generic dirtyfb callback.

Maybe a temporary tinydrm specific solution is possible until that work
lands, but I don't know enough about how to implement such a dirtyfb
callback.

I imagine it could look something like this:

 struct tinydrm_device {
+    struct drm_clip_rect dirtyfb_rect;
 };

static int tinydrm_fb_dirty(struct drm_framebuffer *fb,
                struct drm_file *file_priv,
                unsigned int flags, unsigned int color,
                struct drm_clip_rect *clips,
                unsigned int num_clips)
{
    struct tinydrm_device *tdev = fb->dev->dev_private;
    struct drm_framebuffer *planefb;

    /* Grab whatever lock needed to check this */
    planefb = tdev->pipe.plane.state->fb;

    /* fbdev can flush even when we're not interested */
    if (fb != planefb)
        return 0;

    /* Protect dirtyfb_rect with a lock */
    tinydrm_merge_clips(&tdev->dirty_rectfb, clips, num_clips, flags,
                fb->width, fb->height);

    /*
     * Somehow do an atomic commit that results in the atomic update
     * callback being called
     */
    ret = drm_atomic_commit(state);
...
}

static void mipi_dbi_flush(struct drm_framebuffer *fb,
               struct drm_clip_rect *clip)
{
    /* Flush out framebuffer */
}

void mipi_dbi_pipe_update(struct drm_simple_display_pipe *pipe,
              struct drm_plane_state *old_state)
{
    struct tinydrm_device *tdev = pipe_to_tinydrm(pipe);
    struct mipi_dbi *mipi = mipi_dbi_from_tinydrm(tdev);
    struct drm_framebuffer *fb = pipe->plane.state->fb;
    struct drm_crtc *crtc = &tdev->pipe.crtc;

    if (!fb || (fb == old_state->fb && !tdev->dirty_rect.x2))
        goto out_vblank;

    /* Don't flush if the controller isn't initialized yet */
    if (!mipi->enabled)
        goto out_vblank;

    if (fb != old_state->fb) { /* Page flip or new, flush all */
        mipi_dbi_flush(fb, NULL);
    } else { /* dirtyfb ioctl */
        mipi_dbi_flush(fb, &tdev->dirtyfb_rect);
        memset(&tdev->dirtyfb_rect, 0, sizeof(tdev->dirtyfb_rect));
    }

out_vblank:
    if (crtc->state->event) {
        spin_lock_irq(&crtc->dev->event_lock);
        drm_crtc_send_vblank_event(crtc, crtc->state->event);
        spin_unlock_irq(&crtc->dev->event_lock);
        crtc->state->event = NULL;
    }
}

This is called from the driver pipe enable callback after the controller
has been initialized:

 void mipi_dbi_pipe_enable(struct drm_simple_display_pipe *pipe,
               struct drm_crtc_state *crtc_state)
 {
     struct tinydrm_device *tdev = pipe_to_tinydrm(pipe);
     struct mipi_dbi *mipi = mipi_dbi_from_tinydrm(tdev);
-     struct drm_framebuffer *fb = pipe->plane.fb;
+    struct drm_framebuffer *fb = pipe->plane.state->fb;

     DRM_DEBUG_KMS("\n");

     mipi->enabled = true;
-     if (fb)
-         fb->funcs->dirty(fb, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0);
+    mipi_dbi_flush(fb, NULL);
     tinydrm_enable_backlight(mipi->backlight);
 }

I can make patches if this makes any sense and you can help me with the
dirtyfb implementation.
