When the mapping is clean this flag will be set. This can be used
by a driver to save migrating and allocating pages for an object
that will first be used in VRAM.
This is an initial import of the atom bios parser with modesetting support
for r500 hw using atombios. It also includes a simple memory manager
layer that translates a radeon GEM style interface onto TTM internally.
So far this memory manager has only been used for pinned object allocation
for the DDX to test modesetting.
The dummy read page will point to NULL if drm_bo_driver_init failed at
firstopen (modeset is not enabled), and will cause kernel oops at
subsequent drm_lastclose call, so be sure to check it.
It's not really a graphics memory allocator, just something to track ranges
of address space. It doesn't involve actual allocation, and was consuming
some desired namespace.
I couldn't figure out what drm_bo_type_dc was for; Dave Airlie finally clued
me in that it was the 'normal' buffer objects with kernel allocated pages
that could be mmapped from the drm device file.
I thought that 'drm_bo_type_device' was a more descriptive name.
I also added a bunch of comments describing the use of the type enum values and
the functions that use them.
Flags pending validation were stored in a misleadingly named field, 'mask'.
As 'mask' is already used to indicate pieces of a flags field which are
changing, it seems better to use a name reflecting the actual purpose of
this field. I chose 'proposed_flags' as they may not actually end up in
'flags', and in an case will be modified when they are moved over.
This affects the API, but not ABI of the user-mode interface.
I'm hoping to use the dummy_read_page for kernel allocated buffers to avoid
allocating extra pages for read-only buffers (like vertex and batch buffers).
This also eliminates the 'write' parameter to drm_ttm_set_user and just
has DRM_TTM_PAGE_WRITE passed into drm_ttm_create.
Aside from changing drm_bind_ttm to drm_ttm_bind, this patch
adds only documentation and fixes the functions inside drm_ttm.c
to all be prefixed with drm_ttm_.
drmBOSetStatus does not bother to set the fence_class parameter.
Fortunately, drm_bo_setstatus_ioctl doesn't end up using it as it
calls drm_bo_handle_validate with use_old_fence_class = 1.
Document parameters and usage for drm_bo_handle_validate. Change parameter
order to match drm_bo_do_validate (fence_class has been moved to after
flags, hint and mask values). Existing users of this function have been
changed, but out-of-tree users must be modified separately.
Add comments about the parameters to drm_bo_do_validate, along
with comments for the DRM_BO_HINT options. Remove the 'do_wait'
parameter as it is duplicated by DRM_BO_HINT_DONT_BLOCK.
