Indeed embarrassing. I've missed that we still have 1 caller left that's using the transitional helpers, and those don't fill out plane_state->state backpointers to the global atomic update since there is no global atomic update for transitional helpers. Below diff should fix this - we need to preferentially check crts_state->active and if that's not set intel_crtc->active should yield the right result for the one remaining caller (it's in the crtc_disable paths). For cheap excuses why i915 is so crap in 4.2: Thanks to a hipshot decision to transition to a different QA team ("we'll do this in 1 week without upfront planing") I essentially don't have proper QA support for 1-2 months by now. The other trouble in this area specifically is that this code is already completely changed in -next again, so any testing done on integration trees (like -next or drm-intel-nightly) won't test any patches for 4.2. -Daniel Oh and Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vet...@intel.com> in case you decide to apply this right away. --- diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c index ba9321998a41..85ac6d85dc39 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c @@ -13276,7 +13276,7 @@ intel_check_primary_plane(struct drm_plane *plane, if (ret) return ret; - if (crtc_state->base.active) { + if (crtc_state ? crtc_state->base.active : intel_crtc->active) { struct intel_plane_state *old_state = to_intel_plane_state(plane->state); -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
