If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 08da182175db4c7f80850354849d95f2670e8cd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hamza Mahfooz <hamza.mahfooz@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2023 14:26:27 -0400 Subject: drm/amd/display: fix flickering caused by S/G mode From: Hamza Mahfooz <hamza.mahfooz@xxxxxxx> commit 08da182175db4c7f80850354849d95f2670e8cd9 upstream. Currently, on a handful of ASICs. We allow the framebuffer for a given plane to exist in either VRAM or GTT. However, if the plane's new framebuffer is in a different memory domain than it's previous framebuffer, flipping between them can cause the screen to flicker. So, to fix this, don't perform an immediate flip in the aforementioned case.
