The self-refresh helper framework overloads "disable" to sometimes mean "go into self-refresh mode," and this mode activates automatically (e.g., after some period of unchanging display output). In such cases, the display pipe is still considered "on", and user-space is not aware that we went into self-refresh mode. Thus, users may expect that vblank-related features (such as DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK) still work properly. However, we trigger the WARN_ONCE() here if a CRTC driver tries to leave vblank enabled. Add a different expectation: that CRTCs *should* leave vblank enabled when going into self-refresh. This patch is preparation for another patch -- "drm/rockchip: vop: Leave vblank enabled in self-refresh" -- which resolves conflicts between the above self-refresh behavior and the API tests in IGT's kms_vblank test module. v2: * add 'ret != 0' warning case for self-refresh * describe failing test case and relation to drm/rockchip patch better Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # dependency for "drm/rockchip: vop: Leave # vblank enabled in self-refresh" Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c index d579fd8f7cb8..a22485e3e924 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c @@ -1209,7 +1209,16 @@ disable_outputs(struct drm_device *dev, struct drm_atomic_state *old_state) continue; ret = drm_crtc_vblank_get(crtc); - WARN_ONCE(ret != -EINVAL, "driver forgot to call drm_crtc_vblank_off()\n"); + /* + * Self-refresh is not a true "disable"; ensure vblank remains + * enabled. + */ + if (new_crtc_state->self_refresh_active) + WARN_ONCE(ret != 0, + "driver disabled vblank in self-refresh\n"); + else + WARN_ONCE(ret != -EINVAL, + "driver forgot to call drm_crtc_vblank_off()\n"); if (ret == 0) drm_crtc_vblank_put(crtc); } -- 2.39.0.314.g84b9a713c41-goog
