Re: [PATCH v6 xserver 7/7] xf86Cursor: Add hw cursor support for prime

2016-09-08 Thread Alex Goins
Thanks Hans for the insight into detecting HW cursor usage.

+Daniel Vetter, could you comment on this possible issue with
drmModeMoveCursor() and drmModePageFlip() interfering with each other on i915?

I suppose it could be worked around by disabling HW cursors, but i915 is our
most common output sink and I'd prefer if the default behavior remained
functional, especially for the first Xorg release that supports PRIME
Synchronization.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

Hi Hans,

Thanks for this, it will definitely be a big improvement.

I've been testing these patches against the NVIDIA driver. Some concerns -

What would be the best way to query from the master if the slave is using a HW
cursor? We typically composite the cursor onto the shared pixmap, and with this
it results in a double-cursor, so we need a way to tell if we shouldn't be doing
that.


If any of the slaves fail to set the hw cursor, we fall back to sw-cursor
everywhere, so from the master you can simply do:

xf86CursorScreenPtr ScreenPriv =
(xf86CursorScreenPtr) dixLookupPrivate(&pScreen->devPrivates,
   xf86CursorScreenKey);

And then check ScreenPriv->SWCursor if that is false the all the
slaves are using a HW cursor, if it is true none of the slaves are
using a HW cursor.


I'm encountering some very strange issues when running these with PRIME
Synchronization enabled, even after fixing our internal cursor handling. When
moving the cursor around without damaging anything, it's smooth. When having an
application causing damage, and thus flipping, without the cursor moving, it's
smooth. When moving the cursor AND causing damage, both the cursor and the
flipping seem to be going at roughly 30 Hz, half speed.


I'm not seeing this, note I'm using the hdmi out of an nvidia card driven
by the nouveau kernel driver with modesetting driver as slaveoutput, so this
could indeed be an i915 kernel driver issue as others have suggested.

Regards,

Hans





Skipping the call to either drmModeMoveCursor() in drmmode_set_cursor_position()
or the call to drmModePageFlip() in drmmode_SharedPixmapFlip() alleviates the
issue for flipping or cursor moving, respectively, so I'm inclined to say that
drmModeMoveCursor() or drmModePageFlip() are interfering with each other. Could
that be?

Thanks,
Alex

Currently with PRIME if we detect a secondary GPU,

esp for the intel/nvidia combinations, we have
no choice for the USB offload devices.

This patch checks on each slave screen if hw
cursors are enabled, and also calls set cursor

Changes in v6 (Hans de Goede):
-Move removal of xorg_list_is_empty(&pScreen->pixmap_dirty_list)
 check from xf86CursorSetCursor() back to this patch (accidentally
moved to
 "xf86Cursor: Add xf86CheckHWCursor() helper function" in v5)

Changes in v5 (Hans de Goede):
-Split out various helper functions into separate patches
-Fix cursor showing in the wrong spot on slave-outputs when rotation
is used

Changes in v4 (Hans de Goede):
-Fix crash when xf86ScreenSetCursor() gets called on a hot-plugged GPU

Changes in v3 (Hans de Goede):
-Re-indent xf86CursorScreenCheckHW
-Loop over slave-outputs instead of over pixmap_dirty_list, Aaron
Plattner has
 indicated that the nvidia driver does not use pixmap_dirty_list and
with
 the recent "randr/xf86: Add PRIME Synchronization / Double Buffer"
changes
 there may be 2 pixmaps pointing to the same GPU screen on the
pixmap_dirty_list twice
-Make xf86CurrentCursor work when called on GPU screen pointers
 (fixes the modesetting driver as outputslave crashing)
-Fix both hw and sw cursor showing at the same time when an usb
slave-gpu is
 present at cold plug time

Changes in v2:
-hotplugging causes the driver to try and register
 the cursor private, however we can't register
 these at runtime yet, we need to add support for
 reallocation of cursor screen privates. However
 all hotplugged devices currently don't support
 HW cursors, so punt for now. This means GPUs
 already in the system will get hw cursors
 and USB ones won't which is all we care about
 presently.
-drop list empty checks (Eric)
-fixup comments (Michel)

Probably an i915 kernel driver issue then. I know there were issues like
that during the transition to the atomic KMS API.

Sorry, should have specified. This is running against the i915 DRM driver as the
slave. drmModeMoveCursor() and drmModePageFlip() are calling into i915 on kernel
4.6.

It certainly could be, but that would probably be an issue in your
kernel driver.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for this, it will definitely be a big improvement.

I've been testing these patches against the NVIDIA driver. Some concerns -

What would be the best way to query from the master if the slave is using a HW
cursor? We typically composite the cursor onto the shared pixmap, and with this
it results in a double-cursor, so we need a way to tell if we shouldn't be doing
that.

I'm encountering some very strange issues when running these with PRIME
Synchronization enabled, even after fixing our internal cursor handling. When
moving the cursor around without damaging anything, it's smooth. When having an
application causing damage, and thus flipping, without the cursor moving, it's
smooth. When moving the cursor AND causing damage, both the cursor and the
flipping seem to be going at roughly 30 Hz, half speed.

Skipping the call to either drmModeMoveCursor() in drmmode_set_cursor_position()
or the call to drmModePageFlip() in drmmode_SharedPixmapFlip() alleviates the
issue for flipping or cursor moving, respectively, so I'm inclined to say that
drmModeMoveCursor() or drmModePageFlip() are interfering with each other. Could

Currently with PRIME if we detect a secondary GPU,
we switch to using SW cursors, this isn't optimal,
esp for the intel/nvidia combinations, we have
no choice for the USB offload devices.

This patch checks on each slave screen if hw
cursors are enabled, and also calls set cursor
and move cursor on all screens.

Changes in v6 (Hans de Goede):
-Move removal of xorg_list_is_empty(&pScreen->pixmap_dirty_list)
 check from xf86CursorSetCursor() back to this patch (accidentally
moved to
 "xf86Cursor: Add xf86CheckHWCursor() helper function" in v5)

Changes in v5 (Hans de Goede):
-Split out various helper functions into separate patches
-Fix cursor showing in the wrong spot on slave-outputs when rotation
is used

Changes in v4 (Hans de Goede):
-Fix crash when xf86ScreenSetCursor() gets called on a hot-plugged GPU

Changes in v3 (Hans de Goede):
-Re-indent xf86CursorScreenCheckHW
-Loop over slave-outputs instead of over pixmap_dirty_list, Aaron
Plattner has
 indicated that the nvidia driver does not use pixmap_dirty_list and
with
 the recent "randr/xf86: Add PRIME Synchronization / Double Buffer"
changes
 there may be 2 pixmaps pointing to the same GPU screen on the
pixmap_dirty_list twice
-Make xf86CurrentCursor work when called on GPU screen pointers
 (fixes the modesetting driver as outputslave crashing)
-Fix both hw and sw cursor showing at the same time when an usb
slave-gpu is
 present at cold plug time

Changes in v2:
-hotplugging causes the driver to try and register
 the cursor private, however we can't register
 these at runtime yet, we need to add support for
 reallocation of cursor screen privates. However
 all hotplugged devices currently don't support
 HW cursors, so punt for now. This means GPUs
 already in the system will get hw cursors
 and USB ones won't which is all we care about
 presently.
