flag DMA_QUIESCENT (typically the X server), but gets interrupted by a
signal. The locking IOCTL should then return an error, but if
DMA_QUIESCENT succeeds it returns 0, and the client falsely thinks it
has the lock. In addition The client waits for DMA_QUISCENT and
possibly DMA_READY without having the lock.

The first ioctl sets up an area in AGP memory that will be used as the ring
buffer. The second ioctl copies a command buffer from user space memory
to the ring buffer. The third ioctl waits for engine idle until it
returns.
The motivation for this patch is to avoid the wait for engine idle call
before each buffer flush in the current DRI driver. With this patch,
the DRI driver can continue to flush its buffer as long as there is
free space in the ring buffer.
This patch adds an additional copy operation on the command buffer. This
buffer copying is necessary to support multiple DRI clients rendering
simultaneously. Otherwise, more CPU time will be spent in the busy loop
waiting for engine idle between DRI context switch. Even in the single
client case, the tradeoff is reasonable in comparision to the kernel
call to check for free buffer space for the client to render directly
to the ring buffer.
a busid that doesn't correspond to the device the DRM is attached to.
This is a breaking of backwards-compatibility only for the
multiple-DRI-head case with X Servers that don't use interface 1.1.
- Move irq_busid to drm_irq.h and make it only return the IRQ for the
current device. Retains compatibility with previous X Servers, cleans
up unnecessary code. This means no irq_busid on !__HAVE_IRQ, but can be
changed if necessary.
- Bump interface version to 1.2. This version when set signifies that the
control ioctl should ignore the irq number passed in and enable the
interrupt handler for the attached device. Otherwise it errors out when
the passed-in irq is not equal to the device's.
- Store the highest version the interface has been set to in the device.
- Fix a recursion on DRM_LOCK in irq_uninstall on FreeBSD. This leaves
irq_uninstall being done without the lock in some cases, but it was
racey anyways.
the 2D driver initializes MC_FB_LOCATION and related registers sanely
the DRM deduces the layout from these registers
clients use the new SETPARAM ioctl to tell the DRM where they think the
framebuffer is located in the card's address space
the DRM uses all this information to check client state and fix it up if
necessary
This is a prerequisite for things like direct rendering with IGP chips and
video capturing.
server or client to notify the DRM that it expects a certain version of
the device dependent or device independent interface. If the major
doesn't match or minor is too large, EINVAL is returned. A major of -1
means that the requestor doesn't care about that portion of the
interface. The ioctl returns the actual versions in the same struct.
- Introduce DRM DI interface version 1.1. If the server requests version
1.1, then the DRM sets the unique itself according to the busid of the
device it probed, which may then be accessed as normal using getunique.
- Request version 1.1 in libdrm's drmOpenByBusID, allowing the X Server to
request based on a BusID. Introduce a wrapper for DRM_IOCTL_SET_VERSION
and bump libdrm minor version.
- Pass the busid in DRIScreenInit if libdrm can handle both a busid and
name. This allows drmOpenByBusID to be used to find the DRM instead of
just the driver name, which allows us in the future to tie a DRM more
strongly to the device it probed to. Introduce a function
DRICreatePCIBusID which creates a busid in the form pci:oooo:bb:dd.f
similar to linux's pci_name() function. This matches the format used by
the DRM in version 1.1. libdrm knows how to match both this format and
the old PCI🅱️d:f format.
- Use the new DRICreatePCIBusID function in the *_dri.c to request the new,
more exact busid format.
from __HAVE_DMA. This will be useful for adding vblank sync support to
sis and tdfx. Rename dma_service to irq_handler, which is more
accurately what it is.
- Fix the #if _HAVE_DMA_IRQ in radeon, r128, mga, i810, i830, gamma to have
the right number of underscores. This may have been a problem in the
case that the server died without doing its DRM_IOCTL_CONTROL to
uninit.
