#1641910 — [PATCH v5 0/2] drm: Introduce writeback connectors

Hi,

This is v5 of the writeback connector series. Boris Brezillon thought
that having to explicitly instantiate an encoder when using drm_writeback_connector
is a bit too cumbersome, so I'm pushing out this version where we embed
a virtual encoder inside drm_writeback_connector in order to satisfy the
DRM framework. The caller of drm_writeback_connector_init() can control
the embedded encoder by passing the drm_encoder_helper_funcs to be used.

Comments are welcome on the suitability of this series.

Best regards,
Liviu

#1641914 — [PATCH v5 1/2] drm: Add writeback connector type

From: Brian Starkey <brian.starkey@arm.com>

Writeback connectors represent writeback engines which can write the
CRTC output to a memory framebuffer. Add a writeback connector type and
related support functions.

Drivers should initialize a writeback connector with
drm_writeback_connector_init() which takes care of setting up all the
writeback-specific details on top of the normal functionality of
drm_connector_init().

Writeback connectors have a WRITEBACK_FB_ID property, used to set the
output framebuffer, and a WRITEBACK_PIXEL_FORMATS blob used to expose the
supported writeback formats to userspace.

When a framebuffer is attached to a writeback connector with the
WRITEBACK_FB_ID property, it is used only once (for the commit in which
it was included), and userspace can never read back the value of
WRITEBACK_FB_ID. WRITEBACK_FB_ID can only be set if the connector is
attached to a CRTC.

Changes since v1:
 - Added drm_writeback.c + documentation
 - Added helper to initialize writeback connector in one go
 - Added core checks
 - Squashed into a single commit
 - Dropped the client cap
 - Writeback framebuffers are no longer persistent

Changes since v2:
 Daniel Vetter:
 - Subclass drm_connector to drm_writeback_connector
 - Relax check to allow CRTC to be set without an FB
 - Add some writeback_ prefixes
 - Drop PIXEL_FORMATS_SIZE property, as it was unnecessary
 Gustavo Padovan:
 - Add drm_writeback_job to handle writeback signalling centrally

Changes since v3:
 - Rebased
 - Rename PIXEL_FORMATS -> WRITEBACK_PIXEL_FORMATS

Chances since v4:
 - Embed a drm_encoder inside the drm_writeback_connector to
   reduce the amount of boilerplate code inside drivers using it.

+ * Writeback connectors are used to expose hardware which can write the output
+ * from a CRTC to a memory buffer. They are used and act similarly to other
+ * types of connectors, with some important differences:
+ *  - Writeback connectors don't provide a way to output visually to the user.
+ *  - Writeback connectors should always report as "disconnected" (so that
+ *    clients which don't understand them will ignore them).
+ *  - Writeback connectors don't have EDID.
+ *
+ * A framebuffer may only be attached to a writeback connector when the
+ * connector is attached to a CRTC. The WRITEBACK_FB_ID property which sets the
+ * framebuffer applies only to a single commit (see below). A framebuffer may
+ * not be attached while the CRTC is off.
+ *
+ * Writeback connectors have some additional properties, which userspace
+ * can use to query and control them:
+ *
+ *  "WRITEBACK_FB_ID":
+ *	Write-only object property storing a DRM_MODE_OBJECT_FB: it stores the
+ *	framebuffer to be written by the writeback connector. This property is
+ *	similar to the FB_ID property on planes, but will always read as zero
+ *	and is not preserved across commits.
+ *	Userspace must set this property to an output buffer every time it
+ *	wishes the buffer to get filled.
+ *
+ *  "WRITEBACK_PIXEL_FORMATS":
+ *	Immutable blob property to store the supported pixel formats table. The
+ *	data is an array of u32 DRM_FORMAT_* fourcc values.
+ *	Userspace can use this blob to find out what pixel formats are supported
+ *	by the connector's writeback engine.

> + * DOC: overview
> + *
> + * Writeback connectors are used to expose hardware which can write the output
> + * from a CRTC to a memory buffer. They are used and act similarly to other
> + * types of connectors, with some important differences:
> + *  - Writeback connectors don't provide a way to output visually to the user.
> + *  - Writeback connectors should always report as "disconnected" (so that
> + *    clients which don't understand them will ignore them).
> + *  - Writeback connectors don't have EDID.
> + *
> + * A framebuffer may only be attached to a writeback connector when the
> + * connector is attached to a CRTC. The WRITEBACK_FB_ID property which sets the
> + * framebuffer applies only to a single commit (see below). A framebuffer may
> + * not be attached while the CRTC is off.
> + *
> + * Writeback connectors have some additional properties, which userspace
> + * can use to query and control them:
> + *
> + *  "WRITEBACK_FB_ID":
> + *     Write-only object property storing a DRM_MODE_OBJECT_FB: it stores the
> + *     framebuffer to be written by the writeback connector. This property is
> + *     similar to the FB_ID property on planes, but will always read as zero
> + *     and is not preserved across commits.
> + *     Userspace must set this property to an output buffer every time it
> + *     wishes the buffer to get filled.
> + *
> + *  "WRITEBACK_PIXEL_FORMATS":
> + *     Immutable blob property to store the supported pixel formats table. The
> + *     data is an array of u32 DRM_FORMAT_* fourcc values.
> + *     Userspace can use this blob to find out what pixel formats are supported
> + *     by the connector's writeback engine.

> > + * Writeback connectors are used to expose hardware which can write the output
> > + * from a CRTC to a memory buffer. They are used and act similarly to other
> > + * types of connectors, with some important differences:
> > + *  - Writeback connectors don't provide a way to output visually to the user.
> > + *  - Writeback connectors should always report as "disconnected" (so that
> > + *    clients which don't understand them will ignore them).
> > + *  - Writeback connectors don't have EDID.
> > + *
> > + * A framebuffer may only be attached to a writeback connector when the
> > + * connector is attached to a CRTC. The WRITEBACK_FB_ID property which sets the
> > + * framebuffer applies only to a single commit (see below). A framebuffer may
> > + * not be attached while the CRTC is off.
> > + *
> > + * Writeback connectors have some additional properties, which userspace
> > + * can use to query and control them:
> > + *
> > + *  "WRITEBACK_FB_ID":
> > + *     Write-only object property storing a DRM_MODE_OBJECT_FB: it stores the
> > + *     framebuffer to be written by the writeback connector. This property is
> > + *     similar to the FB_ID property on planes, but will always read as zero
> > + *     and is not preserved across commits.
> > + *     Userspace must set this property to an output buffer every time it
> > + *     wishes the buffer to get filled.
> > + *
> > + *  "WRITEBACK_PIXEL_FORMATS":
> > + *     Immutable blob property to store the supported pixel formats table. The
> > + *     data is an array of u32 DRM_FORMAT_* fourcc values.
> > + *     Userspace can use this blob to find out what pixel formats are supported
> > + *     by the connector's writeback engine.

#1641917 — [PATCH v5 2/2] drm: writeback: Add out-fences for writeback connectors

From: Brian Starkey <brian.starkey@arm.com>

Add the WRITEBACK_OUT_FENCE_PTR property to writeback connectors, to
enable userspace to get a fence which will signal once the writeback is
complete. It is not allowed to request an out-fence without a
framebuffer attached to the connector.

A timeline is added to drm_writeback_connector for use by the writeback
out-fences.

In the case of a commit failure or DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY, the fence
is set to -1.

Changes from v2:
 - Rebase onto Gustavo Padovan's v9 explicit sync series
 - Change out_fence_ptr type to s32 __user *
 - Set *out_fence_ptr to -1 in drm_atomic_connector_set_property
 - Store fence in drm_writeback_job
 Gustavo Padovan:
 - Move out_fence_ptr out of connector_state
 - Signal fence from drm_writeback_signal_completion instead of
   in driver directly

Changes from v3:
 - Rebase onto commit 7e9081c5aac7 ("drm/fence: fix memory overwrite when
   setting out_fence fd") (change out_fence_ptr to s32 __user *, for real
   this time.)
 - Update documentation around WRITEBACK_OUT_FENCE_PTR

Changes from v4:
 - None

Whole series is:

Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@free-electrons.com>
Tested-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@free-electrons.com>

Note that I tested it with the kms_writeback igt tests (available in
your branch [1]).

I'll post the VC4 changes soon.

Thanks,

Boris

Thanks a lot! Now that you seem to be happy with the series (right?) I'll
try to push the kms_writeback tests into igt and get this series accepted.

Best regards,

Well, I'm still not convinced that representing the writeback engine as
a connector is the right thing to do (I mean, look at the
encoder/connector hooks we are implementing, those are either empty
stubs or stubs emulating the behavior of a connector to let the user
think he's actually dealing with a real connector). But since I'm the
only one to be concerned by this aspect, I guess I have to accept
it :-).

There's another thing I'm not completely happy with: the fact that we
have to expose a function of the writeback engine driver and call it
from the mode_config->commit_tail() hook, just because the core does
not call encoder/connector hooks when the modes or display pipeline
routes did not changed. I'd really prefer to have a hook that is
unconditionally called to let the writeback engine driver decide when
an update is actually needed. I guess this point can be addressed by
extending the connector_helper vtable.

Anyway, you have my R-b/T-b, so you're not blocked because of me ;-).
