[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/mst: filter out the display mode exceed sink's capability

[Lyude Paul]

Hi! Sorry this took me a little while to get back to, I had a couple of MST
regressions that I had to look into

This isn't the right lock for this - mgr->lock protects the topology layout
(e.g. drm_dp_mst_port.mstb, drm_dp_mst_port.next, and
drm_dp_mst_branch.ports). port->full_pbn is protected under
&drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr.base.lock (not drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr.lock), so you
need to first add a version of .mode_valid() to struct
drm_connector_helper_funcs that accepts a drm_modeset_acquire_ctx so you can
use that to safely grab &drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr.base.lock.

Also - there's no reason to check if (port->full_pbn) here, so long as you're
holding the right locks this should always be populated by the time we create
the drm_connector for the MST port (if it's not, that's a bug that needs to be
fixed).

Finally - I'd say we should probably have a separate patch to add a helper for
calculating the PBN and checking it against port->full_pbn. Maybe something
that looks like this:

int drm_dp_mst_mode_valid(struct drm_dp_mst_port *port, struct
drm_modeset_acquire_ctx *ctx, int clock, int bpp) {
	int ret = MODE_VALID;
	/* TODO: DSC support */

	/* …try grabbing locks here…*/
	if (drm_dp_calc_pbn_mode(clock, bpp, false) > port->full_pbn)
		ret = MODE_CLOCK_HIGH;

	return ret;
}

That way we might be able to add some checks for DSC capable connectors later
once I've migrated most of the DSC code from amdgpu into the MST helpers
