[PATCH v2 1/4] drm/vram: Add helpers to validate a display mode's memory requirements

Thomas Zimmermann tzimmermann at suse.de
Mon Feb 3 15:52:55 UTC 2020


Devices with low amount of dedicated video memory may not be able
to use all possible display modes, as the framebuffers may not fit
into VRAM. The new helper function drm_vram_helper_mode_valid()
implements a simple test to sort out all display modes that can
not be used in any case. Drivers should call this function from
struct drm_mode_config_funcs.mode_valid.

The functionality was originally implemented by the ast driver, which
is being converted as well.

v2:
	* WARN_ON if VRAM memory manager has not been initialized
	* documentation fixes
	* unexported drm_vram_helper_mode_valid_internal()

+ * @dev:	the DRM device
+ * @mode:	the mode to test
+ *
+ * This function tests if enough video memory is available for using the
+ * specified display mode. Atomic modesetting requires importing the
+ * designated framebuffer into video memory before evicting the active
+ * one. Hence, any framebuffer may consume at most half of the available
+ * VRAM. Display modes that require a larger framebuffer can not be used,
+ * even if the CRTC does support them. Each framebuffer is assumed to
+ * have 32-bit color depth.
+ *
+ * Note:
+ * The function can only test if the display mode is supported in
+ * general. If there are too many framebuffers pinned to video memory,
+ * a display mode may still not be usable in practice. The color depth of
+ * 32-bit fits all current use case. A more flexible test can be added
+ * when necessary.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ * MODE_OK if the display mode is supported, or an error code of type
+ * enum drm_mode_status otherwise.
