[PATCH 0/6 RFC] drm: Move vmap out of commit tail for SHMEM drivers

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

 



Several SHMEM-based drivers use the BO as shadow buffer for the real
framebuffer memory. Damage handling requires a vmap of the BO memory.
Vmap/vunmap can acquire the dma-buf reservation lock, which is not
allowed in commit tails.

This patchset introduces a set of helpers that implement vmap/vunmap
in the plane's prepare_fb and cleanup_fb; and provide the mapping's
address to commit-tail functions. Wrapper sfor simple KMS are provides,
as all of the involved drivers are built upon simple-KMS helpers.

Patch 1 adds the support for private plane state to the simple-KMS
helper library.

Patch 2 provides plane state for SHMEM-based shadow planes. It's a
DRM plane with BO mappings into kernel address space. The involved
helpers take care of the details.

Patches 3 to 6 convert each involved driver to the new shadow-plane
helpers. The vmap operations are being removed from commit-tail
functions. An additional benefit is that vmap errors are now detected
before the commit starts. The original commit-tail functions could not
handle failed vmap operations.

I smoke-tested the code by running fbdev, Xorg and weston with the
converted mgag200 driver.
