Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/4] drm/i915: Make fb user dirty operation to invalidate frontbuffer

This patch introduces a frontbuffer invalidation on dirty fb user callback.

It is mainly used for DIRTYFB drm ioctl, but can be extended for fbdev use on following patch.

This patch itself already solves the biggest PSR known issue, that is missed screen updates during boot, mainly when there is a splash screen involved like plymouth.

Plymoth will do a modeset over ioctl that flushes frontbuffer tracking and PSR gets back to work while it cannot track the screen updates and exit properly. However plymouth also uses a dirtyfb ioctl whenever updating the screen. So let's use it to invalidate PSR back again.

This patch also introduces the ORIGIN_FB_DIRTY to frontbuffer tracking. The reason is that whenever using this invalidate path we don't need to keep continuously invalidating the frontbuffer for every call. One call between flips is enough to keep frontbuffer tracking invalidated and let all users aware. If a sync or async flip completed it means that we probably can flush everything and enable powersavings features back. If this isn't the case on the next dirty call we invalidate it again until next flip.

Sounds like we need yet another testcase in the frontbuffer tracking test from Paulo for this case, i.e.

- Allocate a dumb buffer. - Mmap dumb buffer (both using the dumb bo ioctls, not the i915 ones). - Do modeset using that buffer. - Check that drawing using that mmap + dirtyfb works correctly.

Bunch more comments on the implementation below.

ORIGIN_FB_DIRTY == ORIGIN_GTT, at least on the hw side. Except that dirty_fb actually is a flush (it's supposed to be done _after_ some drawing has been done).

I don't think we need to add more tracking state for this, or at least I don't understand exactly why we need all those fb_dirty state.
