A: Because simpledrm is the only user so far, and this patch is Cc: stable because we have an actual regression that broke KDE. I'm going for the minimal patch that keeps everything that worked to this day working, and stops advertising things that never worked, no more, no less. Future refactoring can always happen later (and is probably a good idea when other drivers start using the helper). Q: XRGB8888 is supposed to be the only canonical format. Why not just drop everything but conversions to/from XRGB8888? A: Because that would regress things that work today, and could break existing userspace on some platforms. That may be a good idea, but I think we should fix the bugs first, and leave the discussion of whether we want to actually remove existing functionality for later. Q: Why not just add a conversion from XRGB2101010 to XRGB8888? A: Because that would only fix KDE, and would make it slower vs. not advertising XRGB2101010 at all (double conversions, plus kernel conversion can be slower). Plus, it doesn't make any sense as it only fills in one entry in the conversion matrix. If we wanted to actually fill out the conversion matrix, and thus support everything simpledrm has advertised to day correctly, we would need helpers for: rgb565->rgb888 rgb888->rgb565 rgb565->xrgb2101010 rgb888->xrgb2101010 xrgb2101010->rgb565 xrgb2101010->rgb888 xrgb2101010->xrgb8888 That seems like overkill and unlikely to actually help anyone, it'd just give userspace more options to shoot itself in the foot with a sub-optimal format choice. And it's a pile of code. - Hector

I've been very careful to keep the format selection in sync between them. (That's the reason why the helper exists at all.) If the drivers start to use different logic, it will only become more chaotic. The format array of ofdrm is at [1]. At a minimum, ofdrm should get the same fix as simpledrm.

(?) Something like uint32_t conv_formats[] = { DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888, /* expected by old userspace */ DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888, /* historically exposed and working */ 0, 0, 0, }; size_t conv_nformats = 2; if (native_format == DRM_FORMAT_XRGB2101010) conv_formats[conv_nformats++] = DRM_FORMAT_ARGB2101010; /* historically exposed and working */ if (native_format == DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888) { conv_formats[conv_nformats++] = DRM_FORMAT_RGB565; /* historically exposed and working */ conv_formats[conv_nformats++] = DRM_FORMAT_RGB888; /* historically exposed and working */ } maybe?

At a minimum, ofdrm should get the > same fix as simpledrm. Looks like this was merged recently, so I didn't see it on my tree (I was basing off of 6.1-rc2). Since this patch is a regression fix, it should be applied to drm-fixes (and automatically picked up by stable folks) soon to be fixed in 6.1, and then we can fix whatever is needed in ofdrm separately in drm-tip. As long as ofdrm is ready for the new behavior prior to the merge of drm-tip with 6.1, there will be no breakage. In this case, the change required to ofdrm is probably just to replace that array with just DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888 (which should be the only supported fallback format for new drivers) and then to add a test to only expose it for formats for which we actually have conversion helpers, similar to what the the switch() enumerates here. That logic could later be moved into the helper as a refactor. >> /* Primary plane */ >> + switch (format->format) { > > I trust you when you say that <native>->XRGB8888 is not enough.

(?) That would be fine to do, it would just be moving the logic to the helper. That kind of refactoring is better suited for subsequent patches. This is a regression fix, it attempts to minimize the amount of refactoring, which means keeping the logic in simpledrm, to make it easier to review for correctness. Also, that would change the API of that function, which would likely make the merge with the new ofdrm painful. The way things are now, a small fix to ofdrm will make it compatible with both the state before and after this patch, which means the merge will go through painlessly, and then we can just refactor everything once everything is in the same tree. - Hector

Yes, that's what I have in mind. We give a list of native formats to drm_fb_build_fourcc_list(), the helper appends whatever is needed and returns the result for use by the driver. Currently, drm_fb_build_fourcc_list() gets the native formats plus a list of all driver-exported formats. And if I'm not mistake, we could remove the driver list entirely. Maybe we could condense the native-format list to a single entry. This would simplify things significantly.

And it's a pile of code. In addition to everything you mentioned, converting from XRGB2101010 to XRGB8888 loses the additional information, defeating the only point of using XRGB2101010 instead of XRGB8888 in the first place.

(?) Are you saying there is some real userspace that breaks without the alpha formats? That would already be broken on many devices.

We should scrap them all IMHO, unless the hardware really supports them. See the other discussion on this patch's v2 as well. Best regards Thomas >
