Set drm_crtc_state.async_flip accordingly. Document that drivers will reject atomic commits if an async flip isn't possible. This allows user-space to fall back to something else. For instance, Xorg falls back to a blit. Another option is to wait as close to the next vblank as possible before performing the page-flip to reduce latency.

This is leveraged by the next commit to allow user-space to use this functionality. All atomic drivers setting drm_mode_config.async_page_flip are updated to also set drm_mode_config.atomic_async_page_flip_not_supported. We will gradually check and update these drivers to properly handle drm_crtc_state.async_flip in their atomic logic. The goal of this negative flag is the same as fb_modifiers_not_supported: we want to eventually get rid of all drivers missing atomic support for async flips. New drivers should not set this flag, instead they should support atomic async flips (if they support async flips at all). IOW, we don't want more drivers with async flip support for legacy but not atomic.

Either the whole +commit succeeds or fails, and it will never be applied partially. This is the +fundamental improvement of the atomic API over the older non-atomic API which is +referred to as the "legacy API". Applying intermediate state could unexpectedly +fail, cause visible glitches, or delay reaching the final state. + +An atomic commit can be flagged with DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY, which means the +complete state change is validated but not applied. Userspace should use this +flag to validate any state change before asking to apply it. If validation fails +for any reason, userspace should attempt to fall back to another, perhaps +simpler, final state. This allows userspace to probe for various configurations +without causing visible glitches on screen and without the need to undo a +probing change. + +The changes recorded in an atomic commit apply on top the current KMS state in +the kernel. Hence, the complete new KMS state is the complete old KMS state with +the committed property settings done on top. The kernel will try to avoid +no-operation changes, so it is safe for userspace to send redundant property +settings. However, not every situation allows for no-op changes, due to the +need to acquire locks for some attributes. Userspace needs to be aware that some +redundant information might result in oversynchronization issues. No-operation +changes do not count towards actually needed changes, e.g. setting MODE_ID to a +different blob with identical contents as the current KMS state shall not be a +modeset on its own. + +A "modeset" is a change in KMS state that might enable, disable, or temporarily +disrupt the emitted video signal, possibly causing visible glitches on screen. A +modeset may also take considerably more time to complete than other kinds of +changes, and the video sink might also need time to adapt to the new signal +properties. Therefore a modeset must be explicitly allowed with the flag +DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_ALLOW_MODESET. This in combination with +DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY allows userspace to determine if a state change is +likely to cause visible disruption on screen and avoid such changes when end +users do not expect them. + +An atomic commit with the flag DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC is allowed to +effectively change only the FB_ID property on any planes. No-operation changes +are ignored as always. Changing any other property will cause the commit to be +rejected.
