Perhaps this should mention that if you handle IRQ installation manually you also need to manually set drm->irq_enabled = 1, as otherwise things like DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK won't work properly.
That's only needed if DRIVER_HAVE_IRQ is set, otherwise the drm_wait_vblank() function skips the irq_enabled check.
Not quite. There's another check for dev->irq_enabled in the DRM_WAIT_ON() so it'll never actually block.
Indeed.
Arguably this could be solved by making the DRM_WAIT_ON() condition drop the !dev->irq_enabled in case DRIVER_HAVE_IRQ isn't set.
Or we could force drivers to set drm->irq_enabled, I'm fine with that as well. I can fix the documentation if that would be the preferred solution.
Thinking about it some more, the latter seems more appropriate. Consider some driver that doesn't set DRIVER_HAVE_IRQ but also doesn't initialize interrupts manually. If so it'll cause DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK to block indefinitely.
On the other hand perhaps the check at the beginning of drm_wait_vblank should be improved. Maybe make it something like this:
if (drm_core_check_feature(dev, DRIVER_HAVE_IRQ)) if (!drm_dev_to_irq(dev)) return -EINVAL;
if (!dev->irq_enabled) return -EINVAL;
I think the vblank subsystem is ripe for rework, and I have a few plans for that.
Would you mind sharing those plans so that maybe others can help out?
But till that happens I guess we could just roll forward with whatever hacks we currently have ...
So that means the above sounds like a reasonable interim solution?
