Subject: [RFC PATCH] drm/atomic: add ASYNC_UPDATE flag to the Atomic IOCTL.

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@...labora.com>

This flag tells core to jump ahead the queued update if the conditions
in drm_atomic_async_check() are met. That means we are only able to do an
async update if no modeset is pending and update for the same plane is
not queued.

It uses the already in place infrastructure for async updates.

It is useful for cursor updates and async PageFlips over the atomic
ioctl, otherwise in some cases updates may be delayed to the point the
user will notice it.

DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_ASYNC_UPDATE should be passed to the Atomic IOCTL to use
this feature.

Hi,

This is an attempt to introduce the new ASYNC_UPDATE flag for atomic
operations, see the commit message for a more detailed description.

To test this patch we have created an IGT test that we plan to send to
the ML but also was tested using a small program that exercises the uAPI
for easy sanity testing. The program created by Alexandros can be found here
[2]. To test, just build the program and use the --atomic flag to use the
cursor plane in normal (blocking mode), and --atomic-async to use the cursor
plane with the ASYNC_UPDATE flag.E.g.

  drm_cursor --atomic

or

  drm_cursor --atomic-async

The test worked on a Samsung Chromebook Plus on top of mainline plus
the patch to update cursors asynchronously through atomic for the
drm/rockchip driver [3].

Alexandros also did a proof-of-concept to use this flag and draw cursors
using atomic if possible on ozone [1].

Best regards,
 Enric
