Most compositors are using a change in EDID as an indicator to
refresh their connector information on hotplug regardless of whether the
connector was previously connected. Originally the hotplug_mode_update
property was supposed to provide a hint to userspace to always refresh
connector info on hotplug as virtual devices such as vmwgfx and QXL
changed the connector without disconnecting it first. This was done to
implement Autofit. Unfortunately hotplug_mode_update was not widely
adopted and compositors used other heuristics to determine whether to
refresh the connector info.

Currently a change in EDID is the one heuristic that seems to be universal.
No compositors currently implement hotplug_mode_update correctly or at all.
By implementing a fake EDID blob we can ensure that our EDID changes on
hotplug and therefore userspace will refresh the connector info so that
Autofit will work. This is the approach that virtio takes.

This also removes the need to add hotplug_mode_update support for all
compositors as traditionally this niche feature has fallen on
virtualized driver developers to implement.

Why don't you fix the compositors instead?

I feel like NAK'ing this patch. The code itself is not so much a 
problem, but the commit message. Maybe it resolves problems with 
compositors, but it is a step backwards for the overall ecosystem. If 
the connector changes, your driver should increment the epoch counter. 
[1] That will send a hotplug event to userspace. The EDID alone does not 
say anything about connector status.

Best regards
Thomas

Oh, I think the code is problematic too.

Please avoid all struct edid based interfaces, in this case
drm_connector_update_edid_property(). They will be removed in the
future, and adding more is counter-productive. Everything should be
struct drm_edid based going forward.

Of course, actually grafting the EDID needs struct edid. And that's kind
of annoying too. Do we really want to spread the EDID details all over
the place? This one combines drm_edid.h structs and magic numbers in a
jumble. I'm kind of hoping we'd get rid of driver usage of struct edid,
though that's a long road. But we've made a lot of progress towards it,
there aren't that many places left that directly look at the guts of
EDID, and most of it is centralized in drm_edid.c.

Of course, not using the standard drm_edid_read* interfaces also lacks
on features such as providing the EDID via the firmware loader or
debugfs, which can be handy for testing and debugging, but that's a
minor issue.

Yeah, unplugging and replugging the same display with the same EDID
isn't a problem for other drivers, and they don't have to do this kind
of stuff to trick userspace. Maybe vmwgfx should handle (or simulate)
hotplugs better?

And preferrably let the EDID functions handle epoch counter updates
instead of doing it yourself, if at all possible.

Jani.

I don't think that's what Ian is trying to fix. There's two different issues:
1) The code using struct edid which is frowned upon.
2) The virtualized drivers not behaving like real GPU's and thus
breaking userspace.

vmwgfx and qxl do not provide edid at all. It's null. But every time
someone resizes a host side window in which the para-virtualized
driver is displaying, the preferred mode changes. Userspace kept
checking whether the edid changes on each hotplug event to figure out
if it got new modes and refresh if it noticed that edid changed.
Because on qxl and vmwgfx the edid never changes (it's always null)
Dave added hotplug_mode_update property which only qxl and vmwgfx send
and its presence indicates that the userspace should refresh modes
even if edid didn't change.

Because that property is only used by qxl and vmwgfx everyone gets it
wrong. The property was specifically added to fix gnome and Ian
noticed that currently even gnome is broken:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/blob/main/src/backends/native/meta-kms-connector.c#L940
hotplug_mode_update doesn't change, it's just a flag that indicates
that userspace needs a  full mode rescan.

virtiogpu deals with it by providing a fake edid hostside and not
using hotplug_mode_update.

So there are two different arguments to be made with this patch:
1) "You should provide the fake edid hostside like virtiogpu". But
that means that we'd still be using the broken hotplug_mode_update on
everything that's been released.
2) "You should fix all of userspace". Which is not realistic because
vast majority of people are not running on qxl or vmwgfx so basically
everyone either doesn't support hotplug_mode_update at all (e.g. kwin,
window maker, weston) or they handle it incorrectly (e.g. mutter).
It's not terribly realistic to be monitoring every compositor out
there for breaking changes.

I don't love the code and I'm not excited about putting this in the
driver, but also I don't see a better way of fixing the core issue
(which is that some virtualized drivers just do not behave like real
gpu's).

drm_edid isn't exported so we can't use it. I know you've read the EDID
spec so complaining about the magic numbers is silly.
I didn't choose to make the whole spec based on bizarrely packed 10 and 12
bit numbers, they are unavoidable.

You're both missing the fact that virtual devices never disconnect active
displays. We don't have to do a disconnect/connect cycle like a physical
monitor and we wouldn't want to because it would be poor user experience.
The issue is not sending the hotplug event, it's that userspace will ignore
hotplug events on connectors that were previously connected because they
assume a disconnect/connect cycle must occur for changes to occur. The
whole point of hotplug_mode_update was as a hint to userspace that the
display can be "re-plugged" without a disconnect first and to always rescan
the connector for changes on hotplug.

Currently compositors are taking an arbitrary set of connector properties
that they've organically collected over the years and doing a diff to
trigger a refresh in the modes/display layout. EDID is the only property
that they universally agree should trigger a display layout change. The
fact that Autofit works on any compsitors using vmwgfx, qxl, or virtio is
completely by accident.

EDID is also a standardized connector property so it's not really fair to
say that all devices should export this property and then when we fix our
deficiency to block it. Now that it's standardized it is part of the uapi
and if userspace does weird things with it it's not really our concern. The
fact that it's standardized is also likely the reason it is being used in
such a fashion.

I'm complaining about adding those details in drivers. That is, if we
really have to have EDID generation.

It's hard to get all the EDID details right. Drivers would invariably
get them wrong, in different ways. The main reason struct drm_edid is
opaque is to prevent drivers from attempting to parse it
themselves. (Yes, drm_edid.c gets stuff wrong too, but at least it's the
same for everyone and can be fixed in one place.)

If you want standardized, you should probably consider using
drm_edid_read_custom() to fetch the generated EDID the same way all the
other EDIDs get fetched, with support for firmware/debugfs EDID, and
validity checks. And you get to use drm_edid based interfaces. And you
get connector->display_info filled with the parsed data, so it aligns
with everyone else.

Arguably it's also backwards to first generate modes, update them using
drm_mode_probed_add() and drm_add_modes_noedid(), then generate an EDID
based on them and update the property with that. Userspace should not
even look at the modes from the EDID directly, only the modes provided
via KMS API, and nobody would even know if they differ. So if we go the
EDID generation route, IMO this should go all the way. Generate EDID
based on modes, and then use drm_edid_connector_add_modes() to add the
modes.

Jani.
