This flag tells core to jump ahead the queued update if the conditions in drm_atomic_async_check() are met. That means we are only able to do an async update if no modeset is pending and update for the same plane is not queued.
It uses the already in place infrastructure for async updates.
It is useful for cursor updates and async PageFlips over the atomic ioctl, otherwise in some cases updates may be delayed to the point the user will notice it. Note that for now it's only enabled for cursor planes.
DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_AMEND should be passed to the Atomic IOCTL to use this feature.

This is an attempt to introduce the new ATOMIC_AMEND flag for atomic operations, see the commit message for a more detailed description.
This was tested using a small program that exercises the uAPI for easy sanity testing. The program created by Alexandros can be found here [2]. To test, just build the program and use the --atomic flag to use the cursor plane in normal (blocking mode), and --atomic-async to use the cursor plane with the ATOMIC_AMEND flag. E.g.
drm_cursor --atomic
or
drm_cursor --atomic-async
The test worked on a Samsung Chromebook Plus on top of mainline plus the patch to update cursors asynchronously through atomic for the drm/rockchip driver.
Alexandros also did a proof-of-concept to use this flag and draw cursors using atomic if possible on ozone [1].
Best regards, Enric

Would be really lovely to bake these into igt-based regression tests. i915 doesn't yet have async update support, but I hope we'll eventually gain that, and then our CI could make sure this keeps working.

If userspace wants to avoid this, they can do so by properly tracking their non-AMEND updates and making sure they've waited until those all completed.
Also, how is userspace supposed to figure out async_update exists/works? Usual approach is a getparam.
Another semantics questions: Should this fail if we fall back to a non-async update? I think that would be best, since userspace can the decide on its own whether it wants to fall back to a normal commit or do something else. And the cursor compat code could do the same, i.e. try first with AMEND, then a normal commit?

Two reason that I can think of, we should have mentioned this on the commit message: - we have no real user space use case for anything other than cursor - Ville wants to go down the road of fences per-plane for this, we'd want to signal the replaced planes, but not the whole crtc. That is of course a optimization on top.

To clarify what this does is do a normal commit if there isn't any pending commit to amend.
If userspace wants to avoid this, they can do so by properly tracking their non-AMEND updates and making sure they've waited until those all completed.
Also, how is userspace supposed to figure out async_update exists/works? Usual approach is a getparam.
Good point. We kinda missed that.

I think that would be best, since userspace can the decide on its own whether it wants to fall back to a normal commit or do something else. And the cursor compat code could do the same, i.e. try first with AMEND, then a normal commit?
The fallback on this version of the patchset was my suggestion, we had a test failing, not sure which anymore, if we did not fallback. Maybe the test we wrote was wrong! Ugh! Let me revisit this with Enric, fail instead of silent fallback seems indeed the best approach!
