video: deferred io sys helpers

[PATCH 01/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - core
[PATCH 02/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - sh_mobile_lcdcfb
[PATCH 03/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - hecuba / n411
[PATCH 04/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - metronome
[PATCH 05/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - xen

This patchset extends the deferred io core code with commonly used functions.

The following functions are added to and exported from fb_defio.c:
 - fb_deferred_io_read()
 - fb_deferred_io_write()
 - fb_deferred_io_fillrect()
 - fb_deferred_io_copyarea()
 - fb_deferred_io_imageblit()

To be backwards compatible with the existing behavior the delay variable
"sysdelay" is introduced. It is a separate timeout value for the functions
above. In the sh_mobile_lcdcfb driver we set it to the same as "delay",
but the other drivers keep it as zero which means flush directly.

The deferred io core code now keeps track of a dirty area between the
calls to the functions above. Only xen is currently making use of this.

In the future we may want to extend the dirty area tracking code to
instead modify the dirty bits for the pages backing the frame buffer.

Status:
- sh_mobile_lcdcfb: compiles and works well
- hecuba / n411: compiles on superh, but untested
- metronome: compiles on superh, but untested
- xen: unknown

[PATCH 02/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - sh_mobile_lcdcfb

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Change the sh_mobile_lcdcfb driver to use the new shared sys helpers.
This allows us to remove some code. Also, "sysdelay" is set to the same
value as "delay" to keep same behavior as before.

[PATCH 03/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - hecuba / n411

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Change the hecubafb driver and the n411 code to use the new shared sys
helpers. This allows us to remove some duplicated code. In the future
this driver can setup the "sysdelay" value to delay flushing.

While at it, convert space to tabs for the n411 kconfig entry.

This drops the FB_DEFERRED_IO select.. FB_HECUBA has a depends on, but
nothing else will select it.

[PATCH 04/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - metronome

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Change the metronome driver to use the new shared sys helpers.
In the future this driver can setup the "sysdelay" value to
delay flushing.

Okay, overall seems okay. But I'm not confident about this specific
change above. The meaning of dx, etc is not clear to me. Okay, I think
I found a problem with above. Here's my explanation, please correct me
if I'm wrong in my reading of the code you've posted. The typical use
case is just a single mmap client (eg: Xfbdev) and nothing else. No
fbcon. The only code path I see that sets defio->dx is in the
write/blit/* paths via the defio_touch in patch 1/5 and none in the
mmap path so with this implementation, all mmap clients would
repeatedly only hit the above full update scenario and never use the
page based update mechanism.

Other than the above problem, looks okay and its nice to get rid of

Hm, I wonder if I reversed the logic by mistake, but I don't think so.
The idea is that dx should be set to -1 by default and stay that way
unless write/blit/* has been used. After each deferred io work dx is
reset to -1. If dx is not -1 in the deferred io callback then we need
to refresh the area specified by dx, dy, width, height _and_ the
pages. The xen driver does this.

In the metronome driver case we update the entire screen if dx has
been set which means we can skip the pages since they are considered
part of the entire screen. This should be the same behavior as before,
the local write/bit/* functions all call metronome_dpy_update()
without this patch.

Or maybe my logic is broken?

Btw, patch [1/5] is somewhat broken today with the handling of
sysdelay vs delay. Ideally I'd like to get rid of sysdelay and let
write/blit/* use the same delay as mmap(). Not sure if you are keen on
that though since it changes the behavior of your drivers. Otoh that
may make fbcon usable on e-paper since it decouples the soft cursor
refresh rate from the screen refresh rate.

You're right that that would make fbcon be better. I don't think there
are too many users currently so now would be a good time to change. So
yes, I agree with changing the current behavior and droping the
sysdelay stuff.

[PATCH 00/05] video: deferred io sys helpers V2

[Magnus Damm]

video: deferred io sys helpers V2

[PATCH 01/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - core V2
[PATCH 02/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - sh_mobile_lcdcfb V2
[PATCH 03/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - hecuba / n411 V2
[PATCH 04/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - metronome V2
[PATCH 05/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - xen V2

This patchset extends the deferred io core code with commonly used functions.

The following functions are added to and exported from fb_defio.c:
 - fb_deferred_io_read()
 - fb_deferred_io_write()
 - fb_deferred_io_fillrect()
 - fb_deferred_io_copyarea()
 - fb_deferred_io_imageblit()

The functions above makes use the deferred io delay which so far only
has been used for mmap. This means for instance that the drivers using
these functions no longer will refresh the screen according to the soft
cursor refresh rate, instead the screen refresh rate derived from the
deferred io delay value will be used.

The deferred io core code now keeps track of a dirty area between the
calls to the functions above. Only xen is currently making use of this.

In the future we may want to extend the dirty area tracking code to
instead modify the dirty bits for the pages backing the frame buffer.

Status:
- sh_mobile_lcdcfb: compiles and works well
- hecuba / n411: compiles on superh, but untested
- metronome: compiles on superh, but untested
- xen: unknown

[PATCH 01/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - core V2

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Add shared sys helpers to the deferred io code. Instead of duplicating
the code in each driver we can keep it in one place. This saves a
few lines. The new helper functions make use of the deferred io delay.
While at it, keep track of the dirty area to allow partial screen update.

[PATCH 01/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - core V2

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Add shared sys helpers to the deferred io code. Instead of duplicating
the code in each driver we can keep it in one place. This saves a
few lines. The new helper functions make use of the deferred io delay.
While at it, keep track of the dirty area to allow partial screen update.

Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

 Changes since V1
 - Remove sysdelay
 - Fix dirty area calculation

Hi Magnus,

Ok, while the overall patchset looks good, I still had trouble with
the dx, dy, w, h stuff. It had me a bit confused. The above comment
about keeping track of the dirty area made me realize why I think that
portion can be improved. The reason is that we already have a pagelist
to track touched pages and the dx, dy, w, h stuff duplicates that. I
have an idea of how we can avoid this duplication which I'll sketch
below.

As you have noticed, doing it using x, y, w, h results in needing to
do things like INT_MAX above and side effects like dx != -1 in the
client drivers. I think that we can avoid this. Instead, I would
prepare the pagelist directly in write, imageblit, etc since we know
exactly which pages have been touched.

I guess this would be better explained if I posted some sample code
rather than just talking about it so I'll do a quick and dirty
implementation for write only in metronomefb so that we can discuss
this further.

Thanks,
jaya

[PATCH 03/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - hecuba / n411 V2

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Change the hecubafb driver and the n411 code to use the new shared sys
helpers. This allows us to remove some duplicated code. The use of the
new shared sys helpers will change the behavior of this driver from
syncing all fillrect/copyarea/imageblit/write operations directly to
using the deferred io delay.

While at it, convert space to tabs for the n411 kconfig entry.

[PATCH 03/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - hecuba / n411 V2

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Change the hecubafb driver and the n411 code to use the new shared sys
helpers. This allows us to remove some duplicated code. The use of the
new shared sys helpers will change the behavior of this driver from
syncing all fillrect/copyarea/imageblit/write operations directly to
using the deferred io delay.

While at it, convert space to tabs for the n411 kconfig entry.

[PATCH 05/05] video: deferred io sys helpers - xen V2

[Magnus Damm]

From: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

Change the xen driver to use the new shared sys helpers. This
allows us to remove some duplicated code. The use of the new
shared sys helpers will change the behavior of this driver from
syncing all operations directly to using the deferred io delay.

Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp>

 Changes since V1:
 - Only cosmetic
