[PATCH v2 04/12] drm: Begin an API for in-kernel clients

Noralf Trønnes noralf at tronnes.org
Mon Jun 18 14:17:31 UTC 2018


This the beginning of an API for in-kernel clients.
First out is a way to get a framebuffer backed by a dumb buffer.

Only GEM drivers are supported.
The original idea of using an exported dma-buf was dropped because it
also creates an anonomous file descriptor which doesn't work when the
buffer is created from a kernel thread. The easy way out is to use
drm_driver.gem_prime_vmap to get the virtual address, which requires a
GEM object. This excludes the vmwgfx driver which is the only non-GEM
driver apart from the legacy ones. A solution for vmwgfx will have to be
worked out later if it wants to support the client API which it probably
will when we have a bootsplash client.

Changes since version 1:
- Make it possible to embed struct drm_client_dev and drop the private
  pointer
- Use kref reference counting to control client release since both the
  client and the driver can release.
- Add comment about using dma-buf as a possibility with some rework
- Move buffer NULL check to drm_client_framebuffer_delete()
- Move client name to struct drm_client_dev
- Move up drm_dev_get/put calls to make them more visible
- Move drm_client_dev.list definition to later patch that makes use of it
