In some cases CRTCs are active but are not able to generating events, at least not at every frame at it's expected to. This is typically the case when the CRTC is feeding a writeback connector that has no job queued. In this situation the CRTC is usually stopped until a new job is queued, and this can lead to timeouts when part of the pipeline is updated but no new jobs are queued to the active writeback connector. In order to solve that, we add a ->no_vblank flag to drm_crtc_state and ask the CRTC drivers to set it to true when they know they're not able to generate VBLANK events. The core drm_atomic_helper_fake_vblank() helper can then be used to fake VBLANKs at commit time.

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.
