Adds crtc page-flip support by passing the new requested framebuffer to vbox_crtc_do_set_base().
There is no attempt to support vblank interrupts, so this page-flip implementation does not try to sync the page-flip to vertical blanking, so expect tearing effects. Is it possible to access the host vblank intervals in VBOX?
I think it'd be great to move vboxvideo over to atomic instead, which is required for destaging anyway, and would give you page flip support for free.
Hi Daniel, yes I agree vboxvideo needs to move to the DRM atomic framework.
Irrespective of moving vboxvideo to atomic framework, I still need to get an answer to the question, is it possible to access the host vblank intervals in order to sync page-flip to vblank, to prevent tearing. Is this possible somehow, perhaps by calling into the VBOX hypervisor?
Thanks, Steve
