i915_gem_obj_pin_to_display() calls frontbuffer_flush with origin set to DIRTYFB. The callers however are at a vantage point to decide if hardware frontbuffer tracking can do the flush for us. For example, legacy cursor updates, like flips, write to MMIO registers, which then triggers PSR flush by the hardware. Moving frontbuffer_flush out will enable us to skip a software initiated flush by setting origin to FLIP. Thanks to Chris for the idea. v2: Rebased due to Ville adding intel_plane_pin_fb(). Minor code reordering as fb_obj_flush doesn't need struct_mutex (Chris) Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dhinakaran Pandiyan <dhinakaran.pandiyan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20180307033420.3086-1-dhinakaran.pandiyan@intel.com
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
