Hi Louis,

> This patchset is the second version of [1]. It is almost a complete
> rewrite to use a line-by-line algorithm for the composition.
> 
> It can be divided in multiple parts:
> - PATCH 1 to 3: no functional change is intended, only some formatting and
>   documenting (PATCH 2 is taken from [2])
> - PATCH 4 to 7: Some preparation work not directly related to the
>   line-by-line algorithm
> - PATCH 8: main patch for this series, it reintroduce the
>   line-by-line algorithm
> - PATCH 9: Remove useless drm_simplify_rotation
> - Rest of the series: moved to a new series to merge this one, see the new 
>   series "Add YUV ad R1..8 formats support to VKMS"
> 
> The PATCH 8 aims to restore the line-by-line pixel reading algorithm. It
> was introduced in 8ba1648567e2 ("drm: vkms: Refactor the plane composer to
> accept new formats") but removed in 8ba1648567e2 ("drm: vkms: Refactor the
> plane composer to accept new formats") in a over-simplification effort.
> At this time, nobody noticed the performance impact of this commit. After
> the first iteration of my series, poeple notice performance impact, and it
> was the case. Pekka suggested to reimplement the line-by-line algorithm.
> 
> Expiriments on my side shown great improvement for the line-by-line
> algorithm, and the performances are the same as the original line-by-line
> algorithm. I targeted my effort to make the code working for all the
> rotations and translations. The usage of helpers from drm_rect_* avoid
> reimplementing existing logic.
> 
> The only "complex" part remaining is the clipping of the coordinate to
> avoid reading/writing outside of src/dst. Thus I added a lot of comments
> to help when someone will want to add some features (framebuffer resizing
> for example).
> 
> I did not changed any expected test results as VKMS seems to have some 
> existing issue:
> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/jim.cromie/kernel-drm-next-dd/-/jobs/61484201
> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/jim.cromie/kernel-drm-next-dd/-/jobs/61803193
> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/louischauvet/kernel/-/jobs/65944002
> 
> To properly test the rotation algorithm, I had to implement a new IGT
> test [8]. This helped to found one issue in the YUV rotation algortihm.
> 
> My series was mainly tested with:
> - kms_plane (for color conversions)
> - kms_rotation_crc (for a subset of rotation and formats)
> - kms_rotation (to test all rotation and formats combinations) [8]
> - kms_cursor_crc (for translations)
> The benchmark used to measure the improvment was done with
> kms_fb_stress [10] with some modifications:
> - Fixing the writeback format to XRGB8888
> - Using a primary plane with odd dimension to avoid failures due to YUV
>   alignment
> The KMS structure was:
> 	CRTC:
> 		rectangle: 4096x2160+0+0
> 	primary:
> 		format: ABGR16161616
> 		rectangle: 3640x2160+101+0
> 	writeback:
> 		format: XRGB8888
> 		rectangle: 4096x2160+0+0
> Results (on my computer):
> 
> 8356b9790650: drm/test: Add test cases for drm_rect_rotate_inv() (before any regression)
> 322d716a3e8a: drm/vkms: isolate pixel conversion functionality (first regression)
> cc4fd2934d41: drm/vkms: Isolate writeback pixel conversion functions (second regression)
> 2c3d1bd284c5: drm/panel: simple: Add Microtips Technology MF-103HIEB0GA0 panel (current drm-misc-next)

Thanks for working on this. I reviewed the series and, with the exception of
a couple of *very* minor comments, it looks good to me.
