Hi,
Many thanks that you have picked it up.
Unfortunately I didn't had time to work on it for a while.
I am ok with what you have done, ihmo the review is going in good direction.
I will try not to miss your update of it.
From my side I can say that damage rects with frame-buffer coordinates
are perfectly fine for DisplayLink case.
Btw I have noticed that there is also a patch from Rob Clark that is
supplying helper for legacy dirtyfb callback.
Maybe we should unify the naming of the rects. Here we have
"damage_clips", Clark's patch has 'dirty_rects' notion.
On other hand existing legacy dirtyfb callback in drm_framebuffer_funcs
is also using 'clip_rects' :).
Thanks

Hi All,
This is extension to Lukasz Spintzyk earlier draft of damage interface
for drm.
Bascially a new plane property is added called "DAMAGE_CLIPS" which is
simply
an array of drm_rect (exported to userspace as drm_mode_rect). The clips
represents damage in framebuffer coordinate of attached fb to the plane.
Helper iterator is added to traverse the damage rectangles and get the
damage
clips in framebuffer, plane or crtc coordinates as need by driver
implementation. Finally a helper to reset damage in case need full
update is
required. Drivers interested in page-flip with damage should call this
from
atomic_check hook.
With the RFC for atomic implementation of dirtyfb ioctl I was thinking
should we need to consider dirty_fb flags, especially
DRM_MODE_FB_DIRTY_ANNOTATE_COPY to be passed with atomic
DAMAGE_CLIPS property blob? I didn't considered that untill now. If no
driver
uses that in my opinion for simplicity this can be ignored?
About overlaping of damage rectangles is also not finalized. This really
depends on driver specific implementation and can be left open-ended?
My knowledge is limited to vmwgfx so would like to hear about other
driver use
cases and this can be modified in keeping other drivers need.
Going forward driver implementation for vmwgfx and user-space
implementation
of kmscube/weston will be next step to test the changes.
Thanks,
Deepak
