Hi Jessica,

I've left some general UAPI related comments here.

Is it ok to destroy old state before it is guaranteed that the new
state is accepted?

Btw. how does the atomic check machinery work here?

I expect that a TEST_ONLY atomic commit will do all the above checks
and return failure if anything is not right. Right?

This is a nice start, but I feel it needs to explain much more about
how userspace should go about making use of this.

Yeah, the pixel_source property comes in the next patch, but I feel
that it is harder to review if the doc is built over multiple patches.
My personal approach would be to write the doc in full and referring to
pixel_source property already, and explain in the commit message that
the next patch will add pixel_source so people don't wonder about
referring to a non-existing property.

I mean just a reference to pixel_source, and leave the actual
pixel_source doc for the patch adding the property like it already is.

Dmitry's suggestion of swapping the patch order is good too.

I think you should be more explicit here. For example: the blob must
contain exactly one struct drm_solid_fill_info.

It's better to put this content spec with the UAPI doc rather than in this
kerner-internal function doc that userspace programmers won't know to
look at.

Shouldn't UAPI structs be in UAPI headers?

Shouldn't UAPI structs use explicit padding to not leave any gaps when
it's unavoidable? And the kernel to check that the gaps are indeed
zeroed?

It also needs more UAPI doc, like a link to the property doc that uses
this and an explanation of what the values mean.
