[PATCH v3 0/6] Introduce new mode validation callbacks

[PATCH v3 0/6] Introduce new mode validation callbacks

[Jose Abreu]

This series is a follow up from the discussion at [1]. We start by
introducing crtc->mode_valid(), encoder->mode_valid() and
bridge->mode_valid() callbacks which will be used in followup
patches and also by cleaning the documentation a little bit.

We proceed by introducing new helpers to call this new callbacks
at 2/6.

At 3/6 a helper function is introduced that calls all mode_valid()
from a set of bridges.

Next, at 4/6 we modify the connector probe helper so that only modes
which are supported by a given bridge+encoder+crtc combination are
probbed.

At 5/6 we call all the mode_valid() callbacks for a given pipeline,
except the connector->mode_valid one, so that the mode is validated.
This is done before calling mode_fixup().

Finally, at 6/6 we use the new crtc->mode_valid() callback in arcpgu
and remove the atomic_check() callback.

[PATCH v3 1/6] drm: Add crtc/encoder/bridge->mode_valid() callbacks

[Jose Abreu]

This adds a new callback to crtc, encoder and bridge helper functions
called mode_valid(). This callback shall be implemented if the
corresponding component has some sort of restriction in the modes
that can be displayed. A NULL callback implicates that the component
can display all the modes.

We also change the documentation so that the new and old callbacks
are correctly documented.

Only the callbacks were implemented to simplify review process,
following patches will make use of them.

[PATCH v3 4/6] drm: Use new mode_valid() helpers in connector probe helper

[Jose Abreu]

This changes the connector probe helper function to use the new
encoder->mode_valid(), bridge->mode_valid() and crtc->mode_valid()
helper callbacks to validate the modes.

The new callbacks are optional so the behaviour remains the same
if they are not implemented. If they are, then the code loops
through all the connector's encodersXbridgesXcrtcs and calls the
callback.

If at least a valid encoderXbridgeXcrtc combination is found which
accepts the mode then the function returns MODE_OK.

[PATCH v3 5/6] drm: Use mode_valid() in atomic modeset

[Jose Abreu]

This patches makes use of the new mode_valid() callbacks introduced
previously to validate the full video pipeline when modesetting.

This calls the encoder->mode_valid(), bridge->mode_valid() and
crtc->mode_valid() so that we can make sure that the mode will
be accepted in every components.

[PATCH v3 6/6] drm: arc: Use crtc->mode_valid() callback

[Jose Abreu]

Now that we have a callback to check if crtc supports a given mode
we can use it in arcpgu so that we restrict the number of probbed
modes to the ones we can actually display.

This is specially useful because arcpgu crtc is responsible to set
a clock value in the commit() stage but unfortunatelly this clock
does not support all the needed ranges.

Also, remove the atomic_check() callback as mode_valid() callback
will be called before.

Not quite what I had in mind, all the language about "Please be aware that
neither core nor helper filter modes" is still there. And that was added
to explain the difference between mode_valid and mode_fixup.

Since all the other patches look good I'll take  stab at a v3 myself.

[PATCH] drm: Add crtc/encoder/bridge->mode_valid() callbacks

[Daniel Vetter]

From: Jose Abreu <Jose.Abreu@synopsys.com>

This adds a new callback to crtc, encoder and bridge helper functions
called mode_valid(). This callback shall be implemented if the
corresponding component has some sort of restriction in the modes
that can be displayed. A NULL callback implicates that the component
can display all the modes.

We also change the documentation so that the new and old callbacks
are correctly documented.

Only the callbacks were implemented to simplify review process,
following patches will make use of them.

Changes in v2 from Daniel:
- Update the warning about how modes aren't filtered in atomic_check -
  the heleprs help out a lot more now.
- Consistenly roll out that warning, crtc/encoder's atomic_check
  missed it.
- Sprinkle more links all over the place, so it's easier to see where
  this stuff is used and how the differen hooks are related.
- Note that ->mode_valid is optional everywhere.
- Explain why the connector's mode_valid is special and does _not_ get
  called in atomic_check.

Commented with an entire patch on patch 1, patches 2-5 are all

Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

But I think some more acks/r-bs would be really good, since this is quite
a bit change in the helper infrastructure. But otherwise ready for merging
imo. Can you pls also review my proposal for patch 1?

Thanks, Daniel

Commented with an entire patch on patch 1, patches 2-5 are all

Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

But I think some more acks/r-bs would be really good, since this is quite
a bit change in the helper infrastructure. But otherwise ready for merging
imo. Can you pls also review my proposal for patch 1?

Thanks, Daniel

As commented on v2 (but after you sent this patch), I think we need to 
document clearly how mode_valid and mode_fixup should interact. It's very 
confusing for driver authors at the moment.

I have put my concerns here but it touches all mode_valid callbacks.
As the callback can be called in mode probe and atomic check it could
only inspect common set of properties for both contexts, for example
crtc cannot check to which encoder it is connected, am I right?
Maybe it would be good to emphasize it here, as it is emphasized in case
of mode_fixup callbacks.

Why we do not make mode_fixup obsolete for atomic drivers as
atomic_check can do the same and is more powerful, this way we could
avoid the overlapped functionality of mode_valid and mode_fixup.

The callback has the same name but different semantic, little bit weird.
But do we really need connector::mode_valid then? I mean: are there
connectors not bound to bridge/encoder which have their own constraints?
If there are no such connectors, we can remove this callback.
If they are rare, maybe just adding loop to connector::get_modes would
be enough.

As the patchset improves many things, I would like to point here that
there are still issues with mode probing at least in case of panels.
Panels in general does not provide discrete list of supported modes, but
they provide list of supported mode ranges (named display_timings), at
the moment this is only addressed in drm_panel_funcs::get_timings, but
drm core does not use it at all.
Currently most of the panel drivers advertises only fixed list of
arbitrary chosen modes, and if bridge/connector/encoder/crtc does not
support it pipeline does not work, even if slightly different
configuration could work. Of course there are workarounds but maybe it
would be good to replace drm_connector::modes with drm_connector::timings.
This way set of valid timings of the whole pipeline will be intersection
of sets of valid timings of every component of the pipeline - quite
straightforward and simple construct.

As this is just an idea which came to me during patchset review, it is
not backed by any code, but maybe it can be interesting for quick
brainstorm.

Andrzej

You can inspect nothing else but the mode here. Looking at anything else
is not allowed since this is the generic check which should work for any

What do you mean with "make obselete"? mode_fixup is the compat callback,
atomic_check is the shiny new one, so it is already obselete.

Yes. And the pixel clock limit is exactly the current real-world use-case:
There are hdmi screens which have a pixel clock limit set, but in reality
can take higher modes. There's users out there who want to use these
higher modes on these peculiar screens. But for everyone else (and for all
other screens), we do need to filter modes correctly (the example here is
dual-link vs. single-link limits, which is an interaction between sink and
source).

What do you mean with "adding a loop"?

Hmm, the docs says 'atomic drivers which need to inspect and adjust more
state should instead use the @atomic_check callback', it does not sound
like 'mode_fixup is obsolete for atomic drivers, please use atomic_check
instead' :)

Sorry for confusing shortcut, I have just inspected call sites of both
callbacks - drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes, both callbacks are
called from this function, so my idea was to move loop
'list_for_each_entry(mode, &connector->modes, head){ ....,
...->mode_valid(...); ....}' from
drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes to .get_modes callback. After
looking bit more at this function I have realized that such change is
not so obvious, and it is not really clear if the final result will be
better :).

This would defeat the purpose of ->get_modes, which is to just grab
the modes from the sink, without filtering for source constraints,
which is done by ->mode_valid. That framework is why we have the probe
helpers, if you want to do something else you can always implement
->fill_modes (which is the uapi entry point) yourself.

Maybe it is a bikeshedding, but wouldn't be better to call
drm_bridge_mode_valid from drm_encoder_mode_valid, in general call all
bridge related stuff from corresponding encoder stuff?
This is more question about role of encoder->bridge, should it be
treated as encoder's extension, or as 1st class citizen in drm?

Another concern is about order of calls, it is from sink to source, to
keep it consistent bridge should be called before encoder, am I right?

Btw for justifying your patch series a bit more, would be real sweet to
roll ->mode_valid out to more drivers. I see two easy cases:

bridge/analogix-anx78xx.c: has a simple mode_fixup which really is just a
mode_valid callback

bridge/synopsys/dw-hdmi.c: simply hand-rolls what you've done here, we
could move the connector_mode valid to the bridge and done.

Care to type these 2 patches on top, just to make this a bit more useful
and a clearer case for merging?

Thanks, Daniel

Btw for justifying your patch series a bit more, would be real sweet to
roll ->mode_valid out to more drivers. I see two easy cases:

bridge/analogix-anx78xx.c: has a simple mode_fixup which really is just a
mode_valid callback

bridge/synopsys/dw-hdmi.c: simply hand-rolls what you've done here, we
could move the connector_mode valid to the bridge and done.

Care to type these 2 patches on top, just to make this a bit more useful
and a clearer case for merging?

Thanks, Daniel

[PATCH 2/2] drm/doc: Clarify mode_fixup vs. atomic_check a bit more

[Daniel Vetter]

Brought up by both Laurent and Andrzej when reviewing the new
->mode_valid hooks. Since mode_fixup is just a simpler version of the
much more generic atomic_check we can't really unify it with
mode_valid. Most drivers should probably switch their current
mode_fixup code to either the new mode_valid or the atomic_check
hooks, but e.g. that doesn't exist yet for bridges, and for CRTCs the
situation is a bit more complicated. Hence there's no clear
equivalence between mode_fixup and mode_valid, even if it looks like
that at first glance.

For the atomic_check stuff (where we do change the passed-in mode) this
would be correct, and calling order and layering would matter. But this
just validates the mode in turn with everything, not taking any
cross-component constraint or other configuration-dependent constraints
into account. Hence it doesn't matter in which order we call stuff.

Note that the passed-in mode is const, so you can't escape. And v3 of
patch 1 now has added wording that you're not allowed to look at anything
else dynamie either.

Does that address your concern?

For the atomic_check stuff (where we do change the passed-in mode) this
would be correct, and calling order and layering would matter. But this
just validates the mode in turn with everything, not taking any
cross-component constraint or other configuration-dependent constraints
into account. Hence it doesn't matter in which order we call stuff.

Note that the passed-in mode is const, so you can't escape. And v3 of
patch 1 now has added wording that you're not allowed to look at anything
else dynamie either.

Does that address your concern?

[PATCH] drm: Add crtc/encoder/bridge->mode_valid() callbacks

[Daniel Vetter]

From: Jose Abreu <Jose.Abreu@synopsys.com>

This adds a new callback to crtc, encoder and bridge helper functions
called mode_valid(). This callback shall be implemented if the
corresponding component has some sort of restriction in the modes
that can be displayed. A NULL callback implicates that the component
can display all the modes.

We also change the documentation so that the new and old callbacks
are correctly documented.

Only the callbacks were implemented to simplify review process,
following patches will make use of them.

Changes in v2 from Daniel:
- Update the warning about how modes aren't filtered in atomic_check -
  the heleprs help out a lot more now.
- Consistenly roll out that warning, crtc/encoder's atomic_check
  missed it.
- Sprinkle more links all over the place, so it's easier to see where
  this stuff is used and how the differen hooks are related.
- Note that ->mode_valid is optional everywhere.
- Explain why the connector's mode_valid is special and does _not_ get
  called in atomic_check.

v3: Document what can and cannot be checked in mode_valid a bit better
(Andrjez). Answer: Only allowed to look at the mode, nothing else.

Yes, I know it practically does not matter. I have mistakenly written
"Beside this: R-b", it should be rather "Anyway: R-b" :)

Aside: There's a pile more drivers (encoders and crtc drivers) which would
similarly benefit and dont really look like they'd be hard to patch up:
- malidp_crtc_mode_fixup
- armada_drm_crtc_mode_fixup (armada isn't atomic, so forget this one)
- atmel_hlcdc_crtc_mode_fixup
- hdmi_mode_fixup in exynos_hdmi.c
- vc4_crtc_mode_fixup and vc4_dpi_encoder_mode_fixup (they both just check
  for interlaced modes, we could probably dump the same check in
  connector->mode_valid).

Plus the 2 bridge drivers. Everyone else does either something more
complex, or something that's not quite correct.

Sorry for being silent but I am away from office this week. I
will try to evaluate and add this in next version. In the
meantime I will review the documentation patches you sent. Thanks!
