Gerd, Zack: For virtual hw like virtio-gpu or vmwgfx that does
one-shot upload and damage tracking, what do you think is the best way
to capture crc for validation? Assuming that's even on the plans
anywhere ...
Ideally it'd be a crc that the host side captures, so that we really
have end-to-end validation, including the damage uploads and all that.
For vkms we're going for now with one-shot crc generation after each
atomic flip (or DIRTYFB ioctl call). Will need a pile of igt changes,
but seems like the most fitting model.
Other option would be that we'd wire up something on the kernel side
that generates a crc on-demand every time igt reads a new crc value
(maybe with some rate limiting). But that's not really how virtual hw
works when everything is pushed explicitly to the host side.
Thoughts?

I think the logic in the patch looks good, some comments below about polishing.

This duplicates code that we also have vkms_composer_worker(). It
would be good to if we can share this code (either by
composer_worker() call this function you add here, or by having a
composer_common function which does all the common parts.
I also realized that we have a problem now with the kzalloc in
compose_planes, that would need to be fixed up somehow. But can be
done in a follow up patch, and it's a bit tricky to explain exactly
why, but short summary is: We're not allowed to allocate memory from
the crtc commit functions, only from crtc_check callback.
Also since this is run while you hold a spinlock the kernel should
complain into dmesg. At least if the basic debug stuff is all enabled,
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is the Kconfig option you need. Would be
good to check that.

We're holding vkms_output->lock spinlock while doing this fairly
expensive computation, that's not good. And this spinlock was only
there to protect against concurrent access from the vblank hrtimer, so
we don't really need this I think, and can make it conditional on
!virtual_hw too.
At that point all our crtc functions have conditions for virtual hw
(except atomic_check), so I think it'd be cleaner to duplicate the
functions into vkms_vblank_crtc_* and vkms_virtual_crtc, with two
struct drm_crtc_helper_funcs and we do the if once when we set up the
crtc in vkms_crtc_init.
