[PATCH 2/7] drm/doc: Polish for drm_plane.[hc]

Wed Sep 21 08:59:25 UTC 2016


Big thing is untangling and carefully documenting the different uapi
types of planes. I also sprinkled a few more cross references around
to make this easier to discover.

As usual, remove the kerneldoc for internal functions which are not
exported. Aside: We should probably go OCD on all the ioctl handlers
and consistenly give them an _ioctl postfix.

-Planes (:c:type:`struct drm_plane <drm_plane>`)
------------------------------------------------
-
-A plane represents an image source that can be blended with or overlayed
-on top of a CRTC during the scanout process. Planes are associated with
-a frame buffer to crop a portion of the image memory (source) and
-optionally scale it to a destination size. The result is then blended
-with or overlayed on top of a CRTC.
-
-The DRM core recognizes three types of planes:
-
--  DRM_PLANE_TYPE_PRIMARY represents a "main" plane for a CRTC.
-   Primary planes are the planes operated upon by CRTC modesetting and
-   flipping operations described in the page_flip hook in
-   :c:type:`struct drm_crtc_funcs <drm_crtc_funcs>`.
--  DRM_PLANE_TYPE_CURSOR represents a "cursor" plane for a CRTC.
-   Cursor planes are the planes operated upon by the
-   DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CURSOR and DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CURSOR2 ioctls.
--  DRM_PLANE_TYPE_OVERLAY represents all non-primary, non-cursor
-   planes. Some drivers refer to these types of planes as "sprites"
-   internally.
-
-For compatibility with legacy userspace, only overlay planes are made
-available to userspace by default. Userspace clients may set the
-DRM_CLIENT_CAP_UNIVERSAL_PLANES client capability bit to indicate
-that they wish to receive a universal plane list containing all plane
-types.
-
-Plane Initialization
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To create a plane, a KMS drivers allocates and zeroes an instances of
-:c:type:`struct drm_plane <drm_plane>` (possibly as part of a
-larger structure) and registers it with a call to
-:c:func:`drm_universal_plane_init()`. The function takes a
-bitmask of the CRTCs that can be associated with the plane, a pointer to
-the plane functions, a list of format supported formats, and the type of
-plane (primary, cursor, or overlay) being initialized.
-
-Cursor and overlay planes are optional. All drivers should provide one
-primary plane per CRTC (although this requirement may change in the
-future); drivers that do not wish to provide special handling for
-primary planes may make use of the helper functions described in ? to
-create and register a primary plane with standard capabilities.
