Hi Mario,


Hi Lionel,

There was a couple of patch to fix this issue :

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/5467/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/5466/


Looking at them they should fix the issue, but they seem to be stuck in review?

I tested this late last week on drm-intel-nightly, it seems a series of
revert fixed most of the issues.


You mean something else has fixed legacy gamma updates, as i can't find above patches applied on drm-intel-nightly?

Are those fixes supposed to be already part of 4.7-rc7, the final rc afaik?

thanks,

Cheers,

Updating legacy gamma tables, e.g., via RandR doesn't work at all
as of Linux 4.7-rc6.

Reason seems to be that the required call to
drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc is skipped in
intel_atomic_commit after userspace set new gamma tables,
because neither crtc->state->planes_changed nor
update_pipe (= pipe_config->update_pipe) are true.

Removing the check for planes_changed || update_pipe fixes
gamma table updates.

The code for Linux 4.8 drm-next has changed a lot in that area
wrt. 4.7, but the new code for 4.8 also removed those checks
and calls drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc unconditionally,
and legacy gamma lut updates work on drm-next, so this seems to be
the right solution.

Tested also shutdown/reboot, suspend/resume, (un-)plugging displays,
mode switches for resolution/refresh rate, display rotation, and
page-flipping/pageflip timing on Intel HD Ironlake to confirm the
fix apparently doesn't break anything under X11.
