[PATCH 1/2] drm: Simplify fb refcounting rules around ->update_plane
The introduction of primary planes has apparently caused a bit of fb refcounting fun for people. That makes it a good time to clean up the arcane rules and slight differences between ->update_plane and ->set_config. The new rules are: - The core holds a reference for both the new and the old fb (if they're non-NULL of course) while calling into the driver through either ->update_plane or ->set_config. - Drivers may not clobber plane->fb if their callback fails. If they do that, they need to store a pointer to the old fb in it again. When calling into the driver plane->fb still points at the current (old) framebuffer. - The core will update the plane->fb pointer on success. Drivers can do that themselves too, but aren't required to any more for the primary plane. - The core will update fb refcounts for the plane->fb pointer, presuming the drivers hold up their end of the bargain. v2: Remove now unused tmpfb (Thierry) v3: Drop broken changes from drm_mode_setplane (Ville). Also polish the commit message a bit. v4: Also fix up the handling of ->disable_plane in drm_plane_force_disable. The issue was that we didn't save plane->fb over the ->disable_plane call. Just paranoia, nothing relies on this. Cc: Thierry Reding Cc: Ville Syrj?l?

As you mention, the changes here are just for paranoia since we can't hit failure here as far as I know; force_disable() is only called in drm_framebuffer_remove() (where a CRTC loop has already taken care of removing the framebuffer from the primary plane) and drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode() (where we explicitly skip primary planes). Since only primary planes can fail to be disabled, I'd be inclined to just add a BUG_ON(plane->type == DRM_PLANE_TYPE_PRIMARY) at the start of this function with a comment update explaining that it can't be called on primary planes, and a BUG_ON(ret) since non-primary planes should never fail to be disabled. ... > @@ -177,22 +176,7 @@ int drm_primary_helper_update(struct drm_plane *plane, > struct drm_crtc *crtc, > set.connectors = connector_list; > set.num_connectors = num_connectors; > > - /* > - * set_config() adjusts crtc->primary->fb; however the DRM setplane > - * code that called us expects to handle the framebuffer update and > - * reference counting; save and restore the current fb before > - * calling it. > - * > - * N.B., we call set_config() directly here rather than using > - * drm_mode_set_config_internal.
