Add support for pixel_source property to drm_plane and related
documentation.

This enum property will allow user to specify a pixel source for the
plane. Possible pixel sources will be defined in the
drm_plane_pixel_source enum.

The current possible pixel sources are DRM_PLANE_PIXEL_SOURCE_FB and
DRM_PLANE_PIXEL_SOURCE_COLOR. The default value is *_SOURCE_FB.

I think, this should come before the solid fill property addition. First
you tell that there is a possibility to define other pixel sources, then
additional sources are defined.

Hi,

that would be logical indeed.

Hi Dmitry and Pekka,

Sorry for the delay in response, was out of office last week.

Acked.

I think, it was pointed out in the discussion that drm_mode_setplane()
(a pre-atomic IOCTL to turn the plane on and off) should also reset
pixel_source to FB.

I don't remember drm_mode_setplane() being mentioned in the pixel_source discussion... can you share where it was mentioned?

I'd prefer to avoid having driver change the pixel_source directly as it could cause some unexpected side effects. In general, I would like userspace to assign the value of pixel_source without driver doing anything "under the hood".

Yep, the plane will only display the data from the set pixel_source.

So if pixel_source == FB and solid_fill_blob is non-NULL, solid_fill_blob will be ignored and the plane will display the FB that is set.

Will add a note about this in the comment docs.

I think these two should be more explicit. Framebuffer source is the
usual source from the property "FB_ID". Solid fill source comes from
the property "solid_fill".

Acked.


Why "COLOR" and not, say, "SOLID_FILL"?

Ah, that would make more sense :)

I'll change this to "SOLID_FILL".

I'd say this is too strong. I'd suggest either renaming this to
extra_sources (mentioning that FB is enabled for all the planes) or
allowing any source bitmask (mentioning that FB should be enabled by the
caller, unless there is a good reason not to do so).

Right. I don't see any problem with having planes of type OVERLAY that
support only solid_fill and no FB. Planes of type PRIMARY and CURSOR I
would expect to always support at least FB.

Atomic userspace is prepared to have an OVERLAY plane fail for any
arbitrary reason. Legacy userspace probably should not ever see a plane
that does not support FB.

Got it... If we allow the possibility of FB sources not being supported, then should the default pixel_source per plane be decided by the driver too?

I'd forced FB support so that I could set pixel_source to FB in __drm_atomic_helper_plane_state_reset(). If we allow more flexibility in the default pixel_source value, I guess we can also store a default_pixel_source value in the plane_state.

Just to be very clear that I'm not confusing you with my comment about
UAPI headers in the previous patch, this enum is already in a good
place. It does not belong in a UAPI header, because userspace
recognises enum values by the name string.

Got it.
