[PATCH] drm/radeon: Move pageflip request from vblank IRQ to ioctl
Simon Farnsworth

Wed Jul 6 09:29:03 PDT 2011
The radeon pageflip ioctl handler delayed submitting the pageflip to
hardware until the vblank IRQ handler. On AMD Fusion (PALM GPU, G-T56N
CPU), when using a reduced blanking CVT mode, a pageflip submitted to
hardware in the IRQ handler failed to complete before the end of the
vblank, resulting in a guaranteed halving of frame rate despite having
plenty of spare CPU and GPU resource.
Fix this by moving the pageflip request to hardware into the pageflip
ioctl, waiting until we are outside a vblank period so that pageflip
timing is still accurate.
This doubles my frame rate in reduced blanking modes, and does not
have an impact on CPU usage in normal blanking modes.

This is merely a first attempt, and while I've tested it, I expect
there to be bugs I've not thought about in here. I've only previously
worked on the Intel driver, and that's simpler hardware.
In particular, I'm a bit hazy about what the fence in pageflip is
doing - I assume it's there to synchronize drawing and scanout, so
that I don't flip to a buffer that's still being drawn on by the GPU.
All review is welcome; if there's anything wrong here, I can easily
produce a new version of this patch.
