This patch checks if framebuffer is unblanked before
we actually trigger panning in custom pan display
function.

* [PATCH 2/3] mx3fb: support pan display with fb_set_var

Users may call FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctrl to do pan display.
This ioctrl relies on fb_set_var() to do the job. fb_set_var()
calls the custom fb_set_par() method and then calls the custom
fb_pan_display() method. Before calling the custom fb_pan_display()
method, info->var is already updated from the new *var in fb_set_var().
And, the custom fb_pan_display() method checks if xoffset and yoffset
in info->var and the new *var are different before doing actual panning,
which prevents the panning from happening within fb_set_var() context.
This patch caches the current var info locally in mx3fb driver so that
pan display with fb_set_var is supported.

whether we really need to reinitialize IPU display controller.
We ignore xoffset and yoffset update because it doesn't require
to reinitialize the controller. Users may specify activate field
of var info with FB_ACTIVATE_NOW and FB_ACTIVATE_FORCE to
reinialize the controller by force.

* [PATCH 3/3] mx3fb: avoid screen flash when panning with fb_set_var
@ 2012-06-11  1:06   ` Liu Ying

Users may call FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctrl to do pan display.
This ioctrl relies on fb_set_var() to do the job. fb_set_var()
calls custom fb_set_par() method and then calls custom
fb_pan_display() method. The current implementation of mx3fb
reinitializes IPU display controller every time the custom
fb_set_par() method is called, which makes the screen flash
if fb_set_var() is called to do panning frequently. This patch
compares the new var info with the cached old one to decide
whether we really need to reinitialize IPU display controller.
We ignore xoffset and yoffset update because it doesn't require
to reinitialize the controller. Users may specify activate field
of var info with FB_ACTIVATE_NOW and FB_ACTIVATE_FORCE to
reinialize the controller by force.

Why is this an error, and why return -EFAULT?  What userspace access
failed?

Hi, Russell,

IMHO, panning with framebuffer blanked is meaningless, at least, it is
not a common usecase. Most users use pan display to swap front buffer
and back buffer when framebuffer is unblanked/active. So, I choose to
take the in question case as an error. Pan display may let user select
a buffer address to be active on display  and I saw the head file
'errno-base.h' comments EFAULT macro to be 'Bad address', so I use
this return value. Perhaps, this return value is not good enough.
Maybe, EIO is better? Would you please help to give some advice on
this?

Thanks.

Yes, but why should anything in userspace care whether the display is
blanked or not?

For example, we may pan the display when a user program produces output,
and we're on the last line of the display.  We don't fail that just
because the screen happens to be blank.  So I don't see why we should
actively fail an explicit userspace pan request just because the console
happened to be blanked.

What I'm basically saying is that as far as _userspace_ is concerned,
all the standard APIs should just work as normal whether the display is
blanked or not.
