I found the patch and tried it out.  It does fix the mouse pointer
problem.  Thanks for the fix.

I've merged a patch from Matt Roper:

commit d99b70ce7d73d78a88311453ccdd0fa0a670dd50
Author: Matt Roper 
Date:   Mon Jan 19 08:31:49 2015 -0800

drm/plane-helper: Skip prepare_fb/cleanup_fb when newfb==oldfb

that should rectify the sluggish i915 cursor. But it's in a separate topic
branch which isn't in linux-next. Should show up in drm-next next week
though.

Hm, I've thought I've merged that patch already:

commit ab58e3384b9f9863bfd029b458ff337d381bf6d2
Author: Daniel Vetter 
Date:   Mon Nov 24 20:42:42 2014 +0100

drm/atomic-helper: Skip vblank waits for unchanged fbs

Or is the problem here that the transitional plane helpers aren't up to
the task? If so please reference that in your patch.

And we still need a hack for the "changed fb cursor" issue, I'll whip
something up.

Yeah, I suppose some kind of quick kludge to restore the old behaviour
would an acceptable short term solution. And as long as it's not visible
to the outside world, we can replace it anytime with a more robust
solution.

There's also an issue in (most) X drivers which exaberates this issues: 
When changing the cursor buffer the X cursor code does a a) disable 
cursor b) update cursor image c) enable cursor cycle. With latest 
upstream we /should/ be able to not block for just moving the cursor 
though when nothing crazy happens. Checking for that would be good.

For the real thing: Rob Clark also noticed this on msm with his atomic, 
I think we need a hint flag (only used internally) so that the 
legacy2atomic helpers and the driver core can correctly pass around 
semantics and we could recover the optimization. As long as we don't 
allow this hint flag to be set by userspace we could just completely 
drop the vblank wait - that would be buggy, but so is the old legacy 
implementation.

I guess this is caused by the atomic code refusing to update the plane
more than once per vrefresh. So we need to allow the fps>vrefresh rate
case to remove the regression.

The old cursor code had basically a gross hack to allow this. It just
unpinned the old fb before the display engine was done with it, and
_after_ unpinning it flipped to the new buffer (with the obvious extra
delay of the flip happening on the next vblank). So there was no
guarantee the old buffer was still around (or had the correct content)
while the display engine was still scanning it out. So to fix this
properly we need a vblank worker of some sort.

The other issues we nee to know which fb is being scanned out at which
point to unpin the correct old buffer. For that we can use the hardware
frame counter. We could use some other mechanims too (SURFLIVE, flip
counter etc.) but the frame counter is the most ubiqitious method we
have.

The one extra problem is gen2 doesn't have even the frame counter, so
some extra care would be needed there. I'm thinking for gen2 we might
allow the driver to call into the vblank core code to update the cooked
counter at any time based on the scanline counter and monotonic timestamp.
That combined with the vblank evade mechanism should make reasonably sure
we have an up to date notion of which frame is currently getting scanned
out.

We need the extra call into the vblank core since just after the vblank
start, the vblank interrupt handler may not have executed yet (especially
since gen2 vblank irq fires actually at the frame start which is a delayed
version of the vblank start, even though the flip happes at vblank start).
So we need an explicit call to make sure the cooked counter is already
updated before the irq handler has executed. I have some changes lined
up for the vblank code which I think could help make sure he extra call
won't increment the counter spuriously, but I have to clean those up a
bit before sending them out.

Notably not -intel on which the bug has been observed. And more
importantly, the slow downs don't seem to correlate with cursor change,
just cursor movement.

It seems that the simple fix for this case (movement only) is to just
skip the prepare_fb/cleanup_fb calls (and the associated vblank wait) in
the transitional plane helper when newfb == oldfb.  I just posted a
small patch that makes that change (and solves the cursor lag for me).

This won't solve the case if userspace uses a different framebuffer for
each update (while trying to update faster than the refresh rate).  Is
there any existing userspace that behaves this way that we can test
with?

2015-01-18 Thread Andrey Skvortsov
Hi,

Since next-20150113 appears problem with very slow mouse cursor. This
makes desktop almost unusable. I've just bisected the problem to the same
commit ea2c67bb4affa drm/i915: Move to atomic plane helpers (v9), as
Jeremiah did.

I want just confirm that problem too.

[BUG, bisect] drm/i915: mouse pointer lags and overshoots

2015-01-17 Thread Jeremiah Mahler
Matt, all,

Commit ea2c67bb4aff introduces a bug which causes the mouse to move in a
very unusual way, as if it has a lot of inertia.  It will lag behind and
then overshoot the expected position.

I reproduced this bug on all my machines which use the drm/i915 drivers
and it affects all forms of mouse pointers including both touchpads and
usb mice.  The patch is present in linux-next 20150116.

  commit ea2c67bb4affa84080c616920f3899f123786e56
  Author: Matt Roper 
  Date:   Tue Dec 23 10:41:52 2014 -0800

  drm/i915: Move to atomic plane helpers (v9)

  Switch plane handling to use the atomic plane helpers.  This means that
  rather than provide our own implementations of .update_plane() and
  .disable_plane(), we expose the lower-level check/prepare/commit/cleanup
  entrypoints and let the DRM core implement update/disable for us using
  those entrypoints.

  The other main change that falls out of this patch is that our
  drm_plane's will now always have a valid plane->state that contains the
  relevant plane state (initial state is allocated at plane creation).
  The base drm_plane_state pointed to holds the requested source/dest
  coordinates, and the subclassed intel_plane_state holds the adjusted
  values that our driver actually uses.

  v2:
   - Renamed file from intel_atomic.c to intel_atomic_plane.c (Daniel)
   - Fix a copy/paste comment mistake (Bob)

  v3:
   - Use prepare/cleanup functions that we've already factored out
   - Use newly refactored pre_commit/commit/post_commit to avoid sleeping
 during vblank evasion

  v4:
   - Rebase to latest di-nightly requires adding an 'old_state' parameter
 to atomic_update;

  v5:
   - Must have botched a rebase somewhere and lost some work.  Restore
 state 'dirty' flag to let begin/end code know which planes to
 run the pre_commit/post_commit hooks for.  This would have actually
 shown up as broken in the next commit rather than this one.

  v6:
   - Squash kerneldoc patch into this one.
   - Previous patches have now already taken care of most of the
 infrastructure that used to be in this patch.  All we're adding here
 now is some thin wrappers.

  v7:
   - Check return of intel_plane_duplicate_state() for allocation
 failures.

  v8:
   - Drop unused drm_plane_state -> intel_plane_state cast.  (Ander)
   - Squash in actual transition to plane helpers.  Significant
 refactoring earlier in the patchset has made the combined
 prep+transition much easier to swallow than it was in earlier
 iterations. (Ander)

  v9:
   - s/track_fbs/disabled_planes/ in the atomic crtc flags.  The only fb's
 we need to update frontbuffer tracking for are those on a plane about
 to be disabled (since the atomic helpers never call prepare_fb() when
 disabling a plane), so the new name more accurately describes what
 we're actually tracking.
