With multiple outputs available we can perform management of outputs at
a more granular level, such that we're able to turn off or on, several
outputs at a time, or combinations that arise from doing that. 

The Weston project use VKMS when running its test suite in CI, and we
have now uses cases which would need to ability to set-up the outputs
DPMS/state individually, rather than globally -- which would affect all
outputs. This an attempt on fixing that by giving the possibility to
create more than one output, and thus allowing to run tests that could
exercise code paths in the compositor related to management of outputs.

In preparation of having multiple outputs/virtual connectors we need to
able to chose the correct encoder/connectors/crtc combination so pass also
the index as a bitmask as possible crtcs for the encoder.

This patch adds support for creating multiple virtual connectors, in
case one would need it. Use module parameters to specify how many,
defaulting to just one, allocating from the start, a maximum of 4
possible outputs.

This is of particular importance when testing out the DRM backend in
compositors, but also to be able to independently handle multiple
outputs/connectors, like setting one to off/sleep on while the others
are on, and combinations that arise from that.

I got a bit confused by this description. The commit message says that you
are creating multiple connectors, but it seems like you are creating multiple
pipes. From what I could see, for each new connector created, you are also
creating a new CRTC and new planes.

Moreover, if your real intention is to create multiple pipes, I believe that
you don't really need to duplicate the planes as well.

I ran the VKMS CI [1] with your patches applied and, although most of the 
tests are now passing with multiple pipes, which is really nice, the test
kms_writeback crashes with the following error:

Hi Maira,

Thanks a lot for taking a look. Yeah, indeed, this creates a new 
connector, a CRTC and planes for it. Terminology wise, multiple pipes. 
The idea is to have multiple outputs, each with its own connector, as to 
be able to simulate (a few) more outputs. At least that's what I'm 
looking for.

I'll adjust the commits description to clarify that.

Regarding the planes, it seemed a bit easier to just create a new
tuple of planes for each output, as in to reuse vkms_output_init(). So I 
guess that you're suggestion would be to make use the existing planes.

Seems a bit more work, not that keen on changing that, but I do have 
some follow-up questions for my own curiosity in case I do this:

-  Don't I need an entire pipe (a primary plane, crtc, encoder, 
connector) to power up the end side of the sink (display)?
- Can the primary one be sufficient for multiple outputs?
- Can the overlay planes be shared or I need to
   discard the ones that are already in-use by other outputs?

I'll have a look at that writeback test as well see what's causing that
NULL pointer deref.

Terminology can be fuzzy, but a pipe is typically considered everything 
from plane to connector. Depending on the hardware, some components can 
be part of multiple pipes or change pipes, though.

Yes, you need at least one full pipeline. I don't see how you'd get 
something displayed otherwise.

> - Can the primary one be sufficient for multiple outputs?

We have no concept of "primary pipelines." The individual components 
have index numbers. There's a primary plane attached to each CRTC, but 
even that concept comes more from HW limitations and historical designs, 
than fundamental requirements.

For multiple outputs, you can attach multiple encoders/connectors to the 
same CRTC. They will then all display the same screen at the same 
display resolution.

Even if your hardware planes support it, you cannot share planes among 
CRTCs with DRM. At least I'm not aware how to. Each plane struct has a 
designated CRTC struct. For most flexibility I'd have to match HW planes 
and DRM planes dynamically. For example if you have 2 CRTCs that can 
share 10 HW planes, you can allocate 10 DRM planes for each CRTC. The 
atomic_check functions have to implement the mapping from hardware to 
software plane and fail if no more hardware planes are available.

If you want to display the same screen on multiple CRTCs, it's possible 
to share the DRM framebuffers among similar the planes.

Best regards

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the clarifications! Made a couple of remarks in-line.

Right, meant the primary plane, rather than pipeline.

Yeah, this kind of sounds like cloning to me, and would like to display 
different things at the same time, on different outputs, to me it sounds 
I need primary plane and a CRTC for each connector. Right?

Aham, understood, thanks again!

Some drivers allow overlay planes to move between CRTCs. We have briefly
discussed on IRC that it would be interesting to have this (even for all
plane types) in vkms for testing and validation, but in a next step. As
it's not included in this proposal here, I'd suggest you to include this
feature/improvement in the vkms TODO in your next version, to keep it in
our minds for future works.
