[PATCH 0/4] drm/atmel-hlcdc: fix plane clipping/rotation issues

[Peter Rosin]

Hi!

I found an unfortunate issue while recoding plane handling to use
drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state(). The driver rotates clockwise,
which is not correct. I simply fixed it (patch 1/4), but maybe that
will cause regressions for unsuspecting users who simply assumed
that the clockwise rotation was correct? I don't know what to do
about that? Adding an option to get the old broken behavior seems
useless, wouldn't it be just as easy to just fix whatever app to
rotate the other way instead of adding an option somewhere?

I have only tested this series on sama5d3, but I did check the docs
for various other chips (sama5d2, sama5d4, sam9n12, sam9g15, sam9g35
and sam9x35) supported by the driver (relevant to patch 4/4).

Cheers,
Peter

Ouch, the driver rotates planes clockwise, which is simply not correct.

[PATCH 3/4] drm/atmel-hlcdc: fix clipping of planes

[Peter Rosin]

With the help from drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state function, clipping
now handles planes to be partially or totally off-screen. The plane is
disabled if it is not visible.

[PATCH 4/4] drm/atmel-hlcdc: do not immediately disable planes, wait for next frame

[Peter Rosin]

The A2Q and UPDATE bits have no effect in the channel disable registers.
However, since they are present, assume that the intention is to disable
planes, not immediately as indicated by the RST bit, but on the next
frame shift since that is what A2Q and UPDATE means in the channel enable
registers.

Disabling the plane on the next frame shift is done with the EN bit,
so use that.

It's been a long time, but I think I had a good reason for forcing a
reset. IIRC, when you don't do that and the CRTC is disabled before the
plane, the EN bit stays around, and next time you queue a plane update,
you'll start with an invalid buf pointer.

Hm, rotation support has been added before the standard rotation
property was created, and at that time I assumed rotation was clockwise
(which apparently was an unwise choice). Anyway, I don't have a
solution for this problem, so I'll let Nicolas decide if it's
acceptable to change the rotation behavior.

Again, I guess I assumed ->crtc_h/w were the width and height before
rotation when I initially added rotation support. This change might
break users too.

It might be possible to clear the EN bit in ...CHDR before enabling the
plane in ...CHER. Or is that too late? But this patch is not overly
important, I just wanted to avoid the resulting "black hole" when the
plane DMA is disabled mid-frame. But disabling planes is probably not
something that happens frequently and will perhaps not be noticed at
all...

I think I tried that, but I'm not sure (BTW, this change was done in
bd4248bb5e8b ("drm: atmel-hlcdc: reset layer A2Q and UPDATE bits when
disabling it")). Anyway, I'm not even sure this is still needed now
that atomic updates have a wait_for_flip_done/vblank() in the commit
path.

Okay. Other patches look good to me, I'm just waiting for Nicolas

I wonder if, when this code path is anyway touched, could benefit
from drm_rect_rotate().

It is obviously not a simple replacement, but could it be used then
I hope the resulting code is simpler.

Speaking of unwise, fbcon rotation is clockwise and drm rotation
is counterclockwise. 'nuff said.

What are you referring to that goes beyond what is done in patch 3/4
in this series? After setting up the strides, the only use of src_[xywh]
are to calculate the scaling factors, and for that the position is
irrelevant. I.e. src_x and src_y are not used. Sure, in some theoretical
sense it might be good if src_[xy] are also transformed into the rotated
coordinate system along with src_[wh], but it seems a bit backwards to
switch over to struct drm_rect when the interesting properties are the
width and height, not the coordinates of the corners. No strong feelings
on the issue though...

Peter

And I thought so too, possibly since I have only been doing drm-stuff
with this driver, but I also suspect that the incompleteness of the
libdrm modetest program is to blame. I don't think it's possible to
specify individual src and dst rectangles with it, and that seems
rather limiting when dealing with rotated planes. I can easily see
why someone using modetest thinks the crtc rect should be rotated by
the driver...

> This change might break users too.

Right you are, and the same impossible scenario. Fix things to do the
right thing and risk breaking users, or don't and preserve the buggy
non-portable issues of the driver making it unusable for others.

I don't care either way, because rotating planes with this stride-
method is practically useless here. It simply requires to much
memory bandwidth. I might work ok for smaller panels with lower
pixel clock frequencies though? I think the LCDC might read the same
data more than once when data is not in the "natural" order? (no,
I do not need an answer to this question, and I do not have time to
dig in this area at the moment...)

However, if you can't do both patch 1 and 2 (because users regress),
then patch 3 is no good either. The reason is that
drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state assumes the rotational
properties fixed by patch 1 and 2, and the behavior is "odd" if you
have that wrong.

Cheers,
Peter

I understand that we are the only ones to be different here. My 
colleague Josh also helped me grasp the implications of this issue.

I would say that we mustn't be different. So please consider fixing 
this. Some users might have started something with rotations but we'll 
make sure to help them with the issue encountered and our additional DRM 
libraries (like libplanes) can be fixed easily to make this change 
transparent.

Rotation works for our use cases.

Thanks for continuing the discussion Boris and thanks to Peter for this 
work. You have my opinion: please go-on with the fix.

Yes, being consistent with standard DRM sub-system is far more important 
in my opinion.

That patch is a big fat NOP if you read the documentation. Those bits
are marked with a '-' for all LCDC channel disable registers, for all
supported chips IIUC. Are the effects of those bits mentioned in any
errata?

It would be good with a comment that the present undocumented disable
method is intentional. That would have kept me from assuming the whole
thing was just copy-paste junk from ..._enable that happened to work.

The documentation for the RST bit states "Resets the layer immediately.
The frame is aborted." which sounds a bit scary and heavy-handed. But
again, I don't know what that actually means and what the effects are
but that was the reason for me wanting to avoid the RST bit.

IIRC, it was not documented in the datasheet, but this came out during

Yes, I should have added a comment about that, my bad.

Great, thanks.

I have done some testing of that patch and for me it's a definite
improvement. The test I did was removing a white plane from a white
background. Without the patch, the driver will output black where
the plane was for the current frame (since the driver does that
disc-area thing for the largest hidden part of the background).
With the patch, I get no visual glitches when removing a plane.

I use a plane to scroll a text, and if you know what to look for,
the black rectangle that flickers by as the plane with the scrolling
text is removed is little bit disturbing. Not a significant problem,
and maybe only geeks notice it, but still...

Just wanted to say that the resulting "black hole" mentioned in the
other thread really does exist and that the patch may make sense
beyond the fact that it removes usage of undocumented features.

I have not seen any bad side effects fro the patch, but admittedly
my testing was very limited and I did not try to remove the plane
while doing other stuff with the driver. So, there might still be
reasons for removing planes immediately...

Cheers,
Peter

Since everything is now synchronized on vsync events thanks to the
atomic modeset infra (including plane/crtc disable requests), I think
the problem I was trying to fix at the time no longer exists (might
re-appear if we start supporting async plane disable requests which is
anyway not supported by the core). So I think I'll just apply your
patch.

Thanks,

Boris
