Because explicit fencing is a recent kernel feature. As Daniel Vetter stated, most X and wayland setups still rely on implicit fencing. Anyway this patch must be integrated first to Linus' tree, before I can propose to the stable release. It would be great if it can be part of 4.17.

The process is pretty simple, it's documented in Documentation/process/stable- kernel-rules.rst. The file states the following requirement for a patch to be eligible for stable backporting: - It must fix a problem that causes a build error (but not for things marked CONFIG_BROKEN), an oops, a hang, data corruption, a real security issue, or some "oh, that's not good" issue. In short, something critical I'll let you decide whether this patch qualifies, as it could be argued that it implements a new feature. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart ___ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel

[PATCH v2] drm: rcar-du: track dma-buf fences
We have to check dma-buf reservation objects of our framebuffers before we use them. Otherwise, another driver might be writing on the same buffer which we are using. This would cause visible tearing effects on display. We can use existing atomic helper functions to solve this problem. v2 changes: - Remove drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_fences() call in rcar_du_kms.c. The commit_tail() function in drm_atomic_helper.c, which calls our atomic_commit_tail() implementation, already calls it. - Remove proposed rcar_du_vsp_set_fence_for_plane() function. Call drm_gem_fb_prepare_fb(), which calls drm_atomic_set_fence_for_plane().
