Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] drm/atomic: rename async_{update,check} to amend_{update,check}
Asynchronous update is the ability change the hw state at any time, not
only during vblank.
Amend mode is the ability to perform 1000 commits to be applied as soon
as possible without waiting for 1000 vblanks.
async updates can be seen as amend, but the opposite is not true.
&drm_plane_helper_funcs.atomic_async_{update,check}() was being used by
drivers to implement amend and not async. So rename them to amend.
Also improve docs explaining the difference.
If asynchronous is required, normal page flip can be performed using
DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC flag.
Signed-off-by: Helen Koike <helen.koike@...labora.com>

Hello,
I would like to officially clarify what async update means by adding it
in the docs.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but the current async_{update,check}
callbacks are being used to do amend (the legacy cursor behavior), i.e.
to allow 1000 updates without waiting for 1000 vblanks.
So I would like to clarify this in the docs and rename the current
callbacks to reflect this behaviour.
I also see that for real async updates, the flag
DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC can be used in a normal sync update (it is
already being used by some drivers actually, in the atomic path, not only
in the legacy page flip, at least is what I understood from
amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail() implementation).
Please, let me know if I misunderstood anything. Otherwise renaming and
improving the docs would put us all in sync.
Thanks!
Helen

- * drm_atomic_helper_async_check - check if state can be commited asynchronously
+ * DOC: amend mode atomic commit
+ *
+ * The amend feature provides a way to perform 1000 updates to be applied as
+ * soon as possible without waiting for 1000 vblanks.
+
+ * Currently, only the legacy cursor update uses amend mode, where historically,
+ * userspace performs several updates before the next vblank and don't want to
+ * see a delay in the cursor's movement.
+ * If amend is not supported, legacy cursor falls back to a normal sync update.
+ *
+ * To implement the legacy cursor update, drivers should provide
+ * &drm_plane_helper_funcs.atomic_amend_check() and
+ * &drm_plane_helper_funcs.atomic_amend_update()
+ *
+ * Drivers just need to make sure the last state overrides the previous one, so
+ * that if X updates were performed, then, in some point in the near future,
+ * preferentially in the next vblank, the Xth state will be the hardware state.
+ *
+ * If the hardware supports asynchronous update, i.e, changing its state without
+ * waiting for vblank, then &drm_plane_helper_funcs.atomic_amend_update() can be
+ * implemented using asynchronous update (the amend mode property is held), but
+ * it can cause tearing in the image.
+ *
+ * Otherwise (if async is not supported by the hw), drivers need to override the
+ * commit to be applied in the next vblank, and also they need to take care of
+ * framebuffer references when programming a new framebuffer, as hw can still be
+ * scanning out the old framebuffer. For now drivers must implement their own
+ * workers for deferring if needed, until a common solution is created.
+ *
+ *
+ * Notes / highlights:
+ *
+ * - amend update is performed on legacy cursor updates.
+ *
+ * - amend update won't happen if there is an outstanding commit modifying the
+ * same plane.
+ *
+ * - amend update won't happen if atomic_amend_check() returns false.
+ *
+ * - if atomic_amend_check() fails, it falls back to a normal synchronous
+ * update.
+ *
+ * - if userspace wants to ensure an asynchronous page flip, i.e. change hw
+ * state immediately, see DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC flag
+ * (asynchronous page flip maintains the amend property by definition).
+ *
+ * - Asynchronous modeset doesn't make sense, only asynchronous page flip.
