Add the WRITEBACK_OUT_FENCE_PTR property to writeback connectors, to
enable userspace to get a fence which will signal once the writeback is
complete. It is not allowed to request an out-fence without a
framebuffer attached to the connector.
A timeline is added to drm_writeback_connector for use by the writeback
out-fences.
In the case of a commit failure or DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY, the fence
is set to -1.
Changes from v2:
- Rebase onto Gustavo Padovan's v9 explicit sync series
- Change out_fence_ptr type to s32 __user *
- Set *out_fence_ptr to -1 in drm_atomic_connector_set_property
- Store fence in drm_writeback_job
Gustavo Padovan:
- Move out_fence_ptr out of connector_state
- Signal fence from drm_writeback_signal_completion instead of
in driver directly
Changes from v3:
- Rebase onto commit 7e9081c5aac7 ("drm/fence: fix memory overwrite
when setting out_fence fd") (change out_fence_ptr to s32 __user *,
for real this time.)
- Update documentation around WRITEBACK_OUT_FENCE_PTR

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
