drm: document drm_mode_get_property

2021-08-02T10:59:33+00:00

It's not obvious what the fields mean and how they should be used. The most important detail is the link to drm_property.flags, which describes how property types work. v2: document enum drm_mode_property_enum, add ref to "Modeset Base Object Abstraction" (Daniel) Signed-off-by: Simon Ser Acked-by: Pekka Paalanen Acked-by: Daniel Vetter Cc: Leandro Ribeiro Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210802072826.500078-1-contact@emersion.fr

drm/connector: demote connector force-probes for non-master clients

2021-05-03T10:08:37+00:00

Force-probing a connector can be slow and cause flickering. As this affects the global KMS state, let's make it so only the DRM master can force-probe a connector. Non-master DRM clients won't be able to force-probe a connector anymore. Instead, KMS will perform a regular read-only connector query.

drm/uapi: Add USB connector type

2021-03-16T11:45:28+00:00

Add a connector type for USB connected display panels.

drm: document that user-space should force-probe connectors

2020-12-02T13:37:03+00:00

It seems like we can't have nice things, so let's just document the disappointing behaviour instead. The previous version assumed the kernel would perform the probing work when appropriate, however this is not the case today. Update the documentation to reflect reality. v2: - Improve commit message to explain why this change is made (Pekka) - Keep the bit about flickering (Daniel) - Explain when user-space should force-probe, and when it shouldn't (Daniel) Signed-off-by: Simon Ser Fixes: 2ac5ef3b2362 ("drm: document drm_mode_get_connector") Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter Reviewed-by: Pekka Paalanen Cc: Ville Syrjala Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/AxqLnTAsFCRishOVB5CLsqIesmrMrm7oytnOVB7oPA@cp7-web-043.plabs.ch

User-space doesn't need to keep track of blobs that might be in use by the kernel. User-space can just destroy blobs as soon as they don't need them anymore.
