Previously we were just dealing with "wait a certain amount of time/jiffies", and for that we can just call the delay/sleep/wait/etc calls without needing any get/put calls. Now we'll wait for a certain number of vblanks, and we need to have the vblank interrupts enabled before we can wait for them. That's why we have the vblank get/put calls. And since get() can fail, we need an error path. Under normal FBC operation, every vblank get/put call should succeed because the pipe's supposed to be running. But in case we actually fail to get vblanks, we just exit from the work function. The way we signal "the work function is not running" is by setting work->scheduled to false. > > > + mutex_unlock(&dev_priv->fbc.lock); > > + return; > > + } > > > > retry: > > /* Delay the actual enabling to let pageflipping cease and > > the > > @@ -390,14 +400,16 @@ retry: > > * vblank to pass after disabling the FBC before we attempt > > * to modify the control registers. > > * > > - * A more complicated solution would involve tracking > > vblanks > > - * following the termination of the page-flipping sequence > > - * and indeed performing the enable as a co-routine and not > > - * waiting synchronously upon the vblank. > > - * > > * WaFbcWaitForVBlankBeforeEnable:ilk,snb > hm... is it still valid for newer platforms or we should put a if gen > <=6 on these checks? I tested this on BDW some time ago, and it seems we don't actually need the vblank wait anymore (although I didn't check the docs if we still need the wait). But I wanted to convert the code to use vblanks before optimizing it more.
