[PATCH v2 2/2] drm: introduce CLOSEFB IOCTL

Simon Ser contact at emersion.fr
Fri Oct 20 10:19:45 UTC 2023


This new IOCTL allows callers to close a framebuffer without
disabling planes or CRTCs. This takes inspiration from Rob Clark's
unref_fb IOCTL [1] and DRM_MODE_FB_PERSIST [2].

User-space patch for wlroots available at [3]. IGT test available
at [4].

v2: add an extra pad field just in case we want to extend this IOCTL
in the future (Pekka, Sima).

+ * argument is a framebuffer object ID.
+ *
+ * This IOCTL is similar to &DRM_IOCTL_MODE_RMFB, except it doesn't disable
+ * planes and CRTCs. As long as the framebuffer is used by a plane, it's kept
+ * alive. When the plane no longer uses the framebuffer (because the
+ * framebuffer is replaced with another one, or the plane is disabled), the
+ * framebuffer is cleaned up.
+ *
+ * This is useful to implement flicker-free transitions between two processes.
+ *
+ * Depending on the threat model, user-space may want to ensure that the
+ * framebuffer doesn't expose any sensitive user information: closed
+ * framebuffers attached to a plane can be read back by the next DRM master.
