[PATCH] drm: Add DPMS ioctl

[PATCH] drm: Add DPMS ioctl

[Alex Ivanov]

Display power management should be available to user no matter whether
display server implements it or not and should be made server agnostic
(X.Org, Wayland compositor), without need of TTY change.

Reasons:
1. User implements an own universal power management daemon. He has no
interest to deal with server or switch to a free TTY, he wants to
turn off the monitor in a simple way, like he controls power of other
system components.
2. Some applications under X.Org like Electron-based ones like to
prevent screen goning off giving user no way to fix that.
3. Many fresh new Wayland compositors don't implement DPMS at all and
at the same time have TTY switch broken.

Why exactly is the existing dpms ioctl not good enough? it's implemented
as the "DPMS" property attached to connectors, but that's the only
difference compared to your code here.

Also, that one doesn't have any XXX about atomic like yours.

I also have no idea how this fixes any of your above problems.

I'm sorry, but this is not the right way to go about things. If Xorg
or GNOME Shell or Weston or whatever thinks the monitor is DPMS-off,
the fact that someone else has forcibly switched it back on will not
make them continue painting. Conversely, if they are painting and
someone does DPMS-off from underneath them, they'll keep painting
anyway: if they're using the legacy API that means the display will
switch straight back on, and if they're using atomic that means their
commits will suddenly fail for an unknown reason and they'll be very
confused.

If people are doing fancy new compositors without DPMS support, then I
recommend they use an existing compositor base, such as libweston
(others are also available) which actually implement DPMS. For
Electron apps, there are a number of idle-inhibition options available
for X11, and also for Wayland when that support lands in Electron.
Unfortunately I don't think there is any way to just route around the
compositor as this patch does.

Cheers,
Daniel

It's not good enough because it will only succeed if caller is current
DRM master. Which means it will work only in console, since X.Org
and Wayland hold DRM_MASTER.

But as a security measure this new separate ioctl requires calling
process to be root one.

I will fix XXX atomic in second version of this patch, it's pretty
mechanical change. Current stage is to get acceptance by public.

User should disable DPMS management of display server
before using this ioctl.

That's sad to hear. Is that the reason why xf86-video-intel driver
switches the display back on, while modesetting driver doesn't
do anything? DPMS is disabled in X.Org config.

libweston is still too tied to Weston at this moment, and other
libraries are still underway.

Your phrase is a great marker of how much complexity and
trickery for user is added into display power management
in comparison to power management of other components.

Unfortunately it is indeed quite complex, but this approach doesn't
fundamentally remove complexity, but instead _add_ it. I'd much rather
fix these problems at the source - add idle-inhibition or DPMS support
where required to compositors and clients - than try to route around
it.

Daniel

Yes now that I understand that your goal is to just bypass the compositor
it's clear to me we don't want this. Implementing a compositor is hard,
hacking around broken compositors is worse. As Daniel explained, changing
kms state behind the compositor's back is not going to work reliably
either.

Please fix your userspace.

Thanks, Daniel

As said elsewhere in the thread, this is a feature, not a bug.
