Subject: drm: No-Op redundant calls to drm_vblank_off() (v2)
From: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner.de@xxxxxxxxx>
commit e8235891b33799d597ff4ab5e45afe173a65da30 upstream.
Otherwise if a kms driver calls into drm_vblank_off() more than once
before calling drm_vblank_on() again, the redundant calls to
vblank_disable_and_save() will call drm_update_vblank_count()
while hw vblank counters and vblank timestamping are in a undefined
state during modesets, dpms off etc.
At least with the legacy drm helpers it is not unusual to
get multiple calls to drm_vblank_off and drm_vblank_on, e.g.,
half a dozen calls to drm_vblank_off and two calls to drm_vblank_on
were observed on radeon-kms during dpms-off -> dpms-on transition.
We don't no-op calls from atomic modesetting drivers, as they
should do a proper job of tracking hw state.
Fixes large jumps of the software maintained vblank counter due to
the hardware vblank counter resetting to zero during dpms off or
modeset, e.g., if radeon-kms is modified to use drm_vblank_off/on
instead of drm_vblank_pre/post_modeset().
This fixes a regression caused by the changes made to
drm_update_vblank_count() in Linux 4.4.
v2: Don't no-op on atomic modesetting drivers, per suggestion
of Daniel Vetter.
