[PATCH 2/2] drm/amd/display: enable idle optimizations for linux (MALL stutter)

Hi Kenneth,

The patches currently have the Kconfig so make sure to enable that first.

And dc_allow_idle_optimizations() will be called when all the vblank irqs are off. On Ubuntu, this will happen after the desktop is idle for a few seconds.

Hi Bhawanpreet,

With the two patches, I still can’t see that dc_allow_idle_optimizations(struct dc *dc, bool allow) is called with allow = true after modprobe and startx.

Is there anything else missing?



Best Regards

Kenneth

Actually, I will drop the guards and if we see issues related to this, we can block it.

I would but MALL is not fully validated so it might cause underflow issues if we keep it enabled by default. I can create a feature flag mask if that helps?

Can we drop the Kconfig?  With that, the series is:

[Why]
We can only use this feature when the display is idle. When active vblank
irq count is 0 we know all the displays are idle.

[How]
-Add a active vblank irq counter
-Update the counter when we enable/disable vblank irq
-if vblank irq count is 0 we can consider mall stutter
