[PATCH] drm/vram-helpers: Set plane fence for display update

Tue Mar 31 08:11:30 UTC 2020


Calling the VRAM helper's prepare_fb() helper now sets the plane's
fence object. The helper still has to synchronize with other users
of the GEM object. Leave a related TODO comment in the code.

This will be useful for PRIME support. VRAM helpers don't support
buffer sharing ATM, so there are no drivers requiring this change.
