Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm: Fix dirtyfb stalls
Date: Sat,  8 May 2021 12:56:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210508195641.397198-2-robdclark@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210508195641.397198-1-robdclark@gmail.com>

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org>

drm_atomic_helper_dirtyfb() will end up stalling for vblank on "video
mode" type displays, which is pointless and unnecessary.  Add an
optional helper vfunc to determine if a plane is attached to a CRTC
that actually needs dirtyfb, and skip over them.
