So my original plan was that the drm core refcounts framebuffers like
with the legacy ioctls. But that doesn't work for a bunch of reasons:
- State objects might live longer than until the next fb change
happens for a plane. For example delayed cleanup work only happens
_after_ the pageflip ioctl has completed. So this definitely doesn't
work without the plane state holding its own references.
- The other issue is transition from legacy to atomic implementations,
where the driver works under a mix of both worlds. Which means
legacy paths might not properly update the ->fb pointer under
plane->state->fb. Which is a bit a problem when then someone comes
around and _does_ try to clean it up when it's long gone.
The second issue is just a bit a transition bug, since drivers should
update plane->state->fb in all the paths that aren't converted yet.
But a bit more robustness for the transition can't hurt - we pull
similar tricks with cleaning up the old fb in the transitional helpers
already.
The pattern for drivers that transition is
if (plane->state)
drm_atomic_set_fb_for_plane(plane->state, plane->fb);
inserted after the fb update has logically completed at the end of
->set_config (or ->set_base/mode_set if using the crtc helpers),
->page_flip, ->update_plane or any other entry point which updates
plane->fb.
v2: Update kerneldoc - copypasta fail.
v3: Fix spelling in the commit message (Sean).

Some differences compared to Rob's patches again:
- Dropped the committed and checked booleans. Checking will be
internally enforced by always calling ->atomic_check before
->atomic_commit. And async handling needs to be solved differently
because the current scheme completely side-steps ww mutex deadlock
avoidance (and so either reinvents a new deadlock avoidance wheel or
like the current code just deadlocks).
- State for connectors needed to be added, since now they have a
full-blown drm_connector_state (so that drivers have something to
attach their own stuff to).
- Refcounting is gone. I plane to solve async updates differently,
since the lock-passing scheme doesn't cut it (since it abuses ww
mutexes). Essentially what we need for async is a simple ownership
transfer from the caller to the driver. That doesn't need full-blown
refcounting.
- The acquire ctx is a pointer. Real atomic callers should have that
on their stack, legacy entry points need to put the right one
(obtained by drm_modeset_legacy_acuire_ctx) in there.
- I've dropped all hooks except check/commit. All the begin/end
handling is done by core functions and is the same.
- commit/check are just thin wrappers that ensure that ->check is
always called.
- To help out with locking in the legacy implementations I've added a
helper to just grab all locks in the backoff case.
v2: Add notices that check/commit can fail with EDEADLK.
v3:
- More consistent naming for state_alloc.
- Add state_clear which is needed for backoff and retry.
v4: Planes/connectors can switch between crtcs, and we need to be
careful that we grab the state (and locks) for both the old and new
crtc. Improve the interface functions to ensure this.
v5: Add functions to grab affected connectors for a crtc and to recompute
the crtc->enable state. This is useful for both helper and atomic ioctl
code when e.g. removing a connector.
v6: Squash in fixup from Fengguang to use ERR_CAST.
v7: Add debug output.
v8: Make checkpatch happy about kcalloc argument ordering.
v9: Improve kerneldoc in drm_crtc.h
v10:
- Fix another kcalloc argument misorder I've missed.
- More polish for kerneldoc.
v11: Clarify the ownership rules for the state object. The new rule is
that a successful drm_atomic_commit (whether synchronous or asnyc)
always inherits the state and is responsible for the clean-up. That
way async and sync ->commit functions are more similar.
v12: A few bugfixes:
- Assign state->state pointers correctly when grabbing state objects -
we need to link them up with the global state.
- Handle a NULL crtc in set_crtc_for_plane to simplify code flow a bit
for the callers of this function.
v13: Review from Sean:
- kerneldoc spelling fixes
- Don't overallocate states->planes.
- Handle NULL crtc in set_crtc_for_connector.
v14: Sprinkle __must_check over all functions which do wait/wound
locking to make sure callers don't forget this. Since I have ;-)
v15: Be more explicit in the kerneldoc when functions can return
-EDEADLK what to do. And that every other -errno is fatal.
v16: Indent with tabs instead of space, spotted by Ander.
v17: Review from Thierry, small kerneldoc and other naming polish.
