MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Git-commit: 8e1b90cc44181405418071a13ead5892c3879239 Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc1 References: FATE#326289 FATE#326079 FATE#326049 FATE#322398 FATE#326166 With instantaneous high precision vblank timestamping that updates at leading edge of vblank, a cooked hw vblank counter which increments at leading edge of vblank, and reliable page flip execution and completion at leading edge of vblank, we should meet the requirements for fast/immediate vblank irq disable/enable. Testing on Linux-4.12-rc5 + drm-next on a Radeon R9 380 Tonga Pro (DCE 10) with timing measurement equipment indicates this works fine, so allow immediate vblank disable for power saving. For debugging in case of unexpected trouble, booting with kernel cmdline option drm.vblankoffdelay=0 (or echo 0 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/vblankoffdelay) would keep vblank irqs permanently on to approximate old behavior.
