Hi Sumera,

this approach lgtm.

something on the writeback engine needs to be adjusted, as I checked a leak
when unloading the driver (after a kms_writeback testcase).

One fix is pointed below. As far as I checked to the other issue, a wb
job is prepared and enqueued, but never cleaned up. Not sure if wb ops
have any dependency on vblanks (and we should also skip) or something
wrong when getting crtc state during the composer work (wb_pending
condition is not working as expected when in the vhw mode).

The error log is here: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/54bf7945/

Daniel, do you have any idea from the top of your head?

For the first issue that I mentioned, you should add this same condition
around set_composer in vkms_wb_cleanup_job. Probably because
wb_cleanup_job is not called (the other issue), you could not see any
error.

Thanks,
