Yet again the too close relationship between the fb helper and the crtc helper code strikes. This time around the fb helper resets all encoder->crtc pointers to NULL before starting to set up it's own mode. Which is total bullocks, because this will clobber the existing output routing, which the new drm/i915 code depends upon to be absolutely correct.
The crtc helper itself doesn't really care about that, since it disables unused encoders in a rather roundabout way anyway.
Two places call drm_setup_crts:
- For the initial fb config. I've auditted all current drivers, and they all allocate their encoders with kzalloc. So there's no need to clear encoder->crtc once more.
- When processing hotplug events while showing the fb console. This one is a bit more tricky, but both the crtc helper code and the new drm/i915 modeset code disable encoders if their crtc is changed and that encoder isn't part of the new config. Also, both disable any disconnected outputs, too.
Which only leaves encoders that are on, connected, but for some odd reason the fb helper code doesn't want to use. That would be a bug in the fb configuration selector, since it tries to light up as many outputs as possible.
v2: Kill the now unused encoders variable.
Signed-Off-by: Daniel Vetter daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch --- Hi Dave,
This patch here is blocking the modeset-rework series, and I'd like to merge that as soon as possible. You've merged the other two prep patches already for 3.6, but this one here popped up later on in testing.
Can you please merge this into drm-next for 3.7 so that I can backmerge it, or smash your maintainer-ack onto it for merging through the intel tree?
Thanks, Daniel --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-)
