drm/todo: Add entry to rename drm_atomic_state

2023-12-18T10:45:40Z

The name of the structure drm_atomic_state is confusing. Let's add an entry to our todo list to rename it. Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231214100917.277842-5-mripard@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard

drm/todo: Add entry about implementing buffer age for damage tracking

2023-11-24T14:15:30Z

Currently, only damage tracking for frame damage is supported. If a driver needs to do buffer damage (e.g: the framebuffer attached to plane's state has changed since the last page-flip), the damage helpers just fallback to a full plane update. Add en entry in the TODO about implementing buffer age or any other damage accumulation algorithm for buffer damage handling.

drm/panel: Check for already prepared/enabled in drm_panel

2023-08-01T14:35:36Z

In a whole pile of panel drivers, we have code to make the prepare/unprepare/enable/disable callbacks behave as no-ops if they've already been called. It's silly to have this code duplicated everywhere. Add it to the core instead so that we can eventually delete it from all the drivers. Note: to get some idea of the duplicated code, try: git grep 'if.*>prepared' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel git grep 'if.*>enabled' -- drivers/gpu/drm/panel NOTE: arguably, the right thing to do here is actually to skip this patch and simply remove all the extra checks from the individual drivers. Perhaps the checks were needed at some point in time in the past but maybe they no longer are? Certainly as we continue transitioning over to "panel_bridge" then we expect there to be much less variety in how these calls are made. When we're called as part of the bridge chain, things should be pretty simple. In fact, there was some discussion in the past about these checks [1], including a discussion about whether the checks were needed and whether the calls ought to be refcounted. At the time, I decided not to mess with it because it felt too risky. Looking closer at it now, I'm fairly certain that nothing in the existing codebase is expecting these calls to be refcounted. The only real question is whether someone is already doing something to ensure prepare()/unprepare() match and enabled()/disable() match. I would say that, even if there is something else ensuring that things match, there's enough complexity that adding an extra bool and an extra double-check here is a good idea. Let's add a drm_warn() to let people know that it's considered a minor error to take advantage of drm_panel's double-checking but we'll still make things work fine. We'll also add an entry to the official DRM todo list to remove the now pointless check from the panels after this patch lands and, eventually, fixup anyone who is triggering the new warning.

drm/todo: Add atomic modesetting references

2023-07-29T19:25:14Z

The section about converting existing KMS drivers to atomic modesetting mentions the existence of a conversion guide, but does not reference it. While the guide is old and rusty, it still contains useful information, so add a link to it. Also link to the LWN.net articles that give an overview about the atomic mode setting design. While at it, remove the reference to unconverted virtual HW drivers, as they've been converted.
