[PATCH v2] drm/amd/display: fix flickering caused by S/G mode

From: Hamza Mahfooz
Date: Mon Apr 17 2023 - 16:51:21 EST


Currently, on a handful of ASICs. We allow the framebuffer for a given
plane to exist in either VRAM or GTT. However, if the plane's new
framebuffer is in a different memory domain than it's previous
framebuffer, flipping between them can cause the screen to flicker. So,
to fix this, don't perform an immediate flip in the aforementioned case.

v2: make a number of clarifications to the commit message and drop
locking.
