FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is an optional plane property to mark damaged regions
on the plane in framebuffer coordinates of the framebuffer attached to
the plane.

The layout of blob data is simply an array of "struct drm_mode_rect"
with maximum array size limited by DRM_MODE_FB_DIRTY_MAX_CLIPS. Unlike
plane src coordinates, damage clips are not in 16.16 fixed point. As
plane src in framebuffer cannot be negative so are damage clips. In
damage clip, x1/y1 are inclusive and x2/y2 are exclusive.

This patch also exports the kernel internal drm_rect to userspace as
drm_mode_rect. This is because "struct drm_clip_rect" is not sufficient
to represent damage for current plane size.

Upper limit is set on the maximum number of damage clips to avoid
overflow by user-space.

Driver which are interested in enabling FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS property for a
plane should enable this property using drm_plane_enable_damage_clips.

You forgot to include your nice kerneldoc from the header. Please run

$ make htmldocs

and make sure the generated stuff looks all nice and is complete.

No need to set to 0, we require kzalloc.

Some comments on the doc:

- You kinda explain it, but in convoluted way: I'd add a clear sentence
  that userspace _must_ always render the entire visible fb, since the
  driver is free to read more. Otherwise there can be corruptions.

- Why no input validation on the damage clips against the framebuffer
  size? Ime not validating just leads to funny driver bugs down the road,
  so what's the use-case you have in mind here?

- A short paragraph on how drivers are supposed to implement this would be
  good, with references to functions (will be automatically converted to
  hyperlinks)

Besides the small nits this looks good to me.

Wrong type, this needs to be the uapi drm_mode_rect, not the internal
rect. The damge_iter needs to then convert this. Noticed while reviewing
patch 4, which also uses the wrong type.

Not sure why the plane src coordinates need to be mentioned here. The
damage is just the part of the fb that has changed. Whether or not it
extends past the src coordinates is totally irrelevant as far as I can
see.

Don't we have a better place for this? Next to some other props etc. in
the plane state?

What does "in framebuffer coordinates" mean? Integers, some fixed
point representation?

Thanks for the review Daniel, oops I added those docs later in

Agreed , will make it more clear for V2

My motivation behind not informing user-space if damage is outside plane
src, sent during modeset(where it should be provided) or damage is outside
framebuffer coordinate (simply put damage clips are invalid) is that it's a
hint. The contract between kernel and user-space is simple, if damage
clips are valid, kernel might use them (but not always) otherwise they
will be ignored. Damage can be ignored deep in the stack (like network),
so all the input validation for nothing.

Also, what all to consider in input validation ?
* clips are outside plane src
* damage clips sent during modeset should error ?
* any other properties.

This will lead to a complex input validation during modeset check like
if some drivers are OK with damage while scaling whereas others
cannot support, should this error?

However I am alright doing input validation if this becomes clear what
kind of validation to actually do. My understanding of drm core is limited.

Thanks Ville for the review,

Well this is plane damage property and only those clips which falls inside
will be used for plane update, so outside plane src is not required.

This is in plane state, sorry am I missing something ?

I guess better wording would be "in framebuffer coordinates of the
frambebuffer attached to plane". I would make it more clear for v2,

Hi,

I think validating that the area of any clip rectangle does not extend
beyond the framebuffer size would be good. A userspace violating that
is arguably broken, so it would help catch userspace bugs.

I also would not assume that damage is irrelevant on modeset. Userspace
does not always know if an update will be a modeset or not: drivers vary
there, and userspace that just wants the update through will allow
modesets always while still providing damage. Userspace could also
change video mode timings or pixel format while keeping the resolution
the same, and in that case damage could be meaningful to a driver.


Thanks,
pq

Actually we've never specified that properly. My usual interpretation is
that the plane is allowed to sample past the edge of the src rectangle
(to get nicer looking edges). But not sure whether that would be too
surprising to people though. So we might want follow the GL linear filter
rules by default, and if someone wants better looking edges we could
add a property that allows the filter to reach further past the edge.

Just the placement inside the plane state looks rather random. More
logical to group it next to some other property stuff I think.

I'm basically asking whether one is supposed to do
'.x1 = x' or '.x1 = x<<16' or something else, where x is an
interger pixel coordinate.

Thanks Pekka, for explanation. I agree clips outside framebuffer should
be errored and also it's not a lot for drm core. Also, will look into the
cases where drm core should clear the damage clips, like resolution
change, etc.

May be the better approach would be drm core just provide the helper
and driver takes care of driver specific scenarios.

Ok, it makes sense not to specify plane src part, anyway with current
implementation kernel do not error if damage clips are outside plane
src. The helper iterator clip to plane_src but depending on the above
use case can have other implementations as well.

+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is an optional plane property which provides a means to
+ * specify a list of damage rectangles on a plane in framebuffer coordinates of
+ * the framebuffer attached to the plane. In current context damage is the area
+ * of plane framebuffer (excluding the framebuffer area which is outside of
+ * plane src) that has changed since last plane update (also called page-flip).
+ * Only the area inside damage rectangles will be considered different whether
+ * currently attached framebuffer is same as framebuffer attached during last
+ * plane update or not.
+ *
+ * FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is a hint to kernel which could be helpful for some drivers
+ * to optimize internally especially for virtual devices where each framebuffer
+ * change needs to be transmitted over network, usb, etc.
+ *
+ * Since FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is a hint so it is an optional property. User-space can
+ * ignore the damage clips property and in that case kernel will do a full plane
+ * update. In case damage clips are provided then it is guaranteed that the area
+ * inside damage clips will be updated to plane. For efficiency kernel can do
+ * full update or more area than specified in damage clips.
+ *
+ * FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS is a blob property with the layout of blob data is simply an
+ * array of drm_mode_rect(internally drm_rect) with maximum array size limited
+ * by DRM_MODE_FB_DIRTY_MAX_CLIPS. Unlike plane src coordinates, damage clips
+ * are not in 16.16 fixed point. Similar to plane src in framebuffer, damage
+ * clips cannot be negative. In damage clip, x1/y1 are inclusive and x2/y2 are
+ * exclusive.
+ *
+ * All the damage clips are in framebuffer coordinates and should be inside
+ * plane src and if any clip falls outside plane src it will be ignored and
+ * user-space won't be notified of the same. As mentioned above, sometimes
+ * kernel will do full plane update due to change in properties which can affect
+ * full plane e.g. color management properties. Also during full modeset damage
+ * is irrelevant so if provided by user-space it simply will be ignored.
+ * Whenever damage clips are ignored by kernel, user-space will not be informed.
+ * If a user-space provides damage clips which doesn't encompass the actual
+ * damage to framebuffer (since last plane update) will result in incorrect
+ * rendering during plane update.
+ *
+ * While kernel does not error for overlapped damage clips, it is discouraged.
