[PATCH] drm: send vblank event with the attached sequence rather than current

From: Mark Yacoub
Date: Thu Dec 02 2021 - 10:12:13 EST


From: Mark Yacoub <markyacoub@xxxxxxxxxx>

[Why]
drm_handle_vblank_events loops over vblank_event_list to send any event
that is current or has passed.
More than 1 event could be pending with past sequence time that need to
be send. This can be a side effect of drivers without hardware vblank
counter and they depend on the difference in the timestamps and the
frame/field duration calculated in drm_update_vblank_count. This can
lead to 1 vblirq being ignored due to very small diff, resulting in a
subsequent vblank with 2 pending vblank events to be sent, each with a
unique sequence expected by user space.

[How]
Send each pending vblank event with the sequence it's waiting on instead
of assigning the current sequence to all of them.

Fixes igt@kms_flip "Unexpected frame sequence"
Tested on Jacuzzi (MT8183)
