From e3eb3250d84ef97b766312345774367b6a310db8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Clark Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 14:41:52 +0000 Subject: drm: add support for tiled/compressed/etc modifier in addfb2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In DRM/KMS we are lacking a good way to deal with tiled/compressed formats. Especially in the case of dmabuf/prime buffer sharing, where we cannot always rely on under-the-hood flags passed to driver specific gem-create ioctl to pass around these extra flags. The proposal is to add a per-plane format modifier. This allows to, if necessary, use different tiling patters for sub-sampled planes, etc. The format modifiers are added at the end of the ioctl struct, so for legacy userspace it will be zero padded. v1: original v1.5: increase modifier to 64b v2: Incorporate review comments from the big thread, plus a few more. - Add a getcap so that userspace doesn't have to jump through hoops. - Allow modifiers only when a flag is set. That way drivers know when they're dealing with old userspace and need to fish out e.g. tiling from other information. - After rolling out checks for ->modifier to all drivers I've decided that this is way too fragile and needs an explicit opt-in flag. So do that instead. - Add a define (just for documentation really) for the "NONE" modifier. Imo we don't need to add mask #defines since drivers really should only do exact matches against values defined with fourcc_mod_code. - Drop the Samsung tiling modifier on Rob's request since he's not yet sure whether that one is accurate. v3: - Also add a new ->modifier[] array to struct drm_framebuffer and fill it in drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_struct. Requested by Tvrkto Uruslin. - Remove TODO in comment and add code comment that modifiers should be properly documented, requested by Rob.
