[PATCH 0/7] drm/client: Simply client-buffer interface and implementation

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Streamline the client-buffer code and remove the drm_client_framebuffer_
functions. Makes the code easier to work with.

Also prepares for importing non-dumb-buffer objects. Most of the in-
kernel clients will use dumb-buffer allocation. In the case of the
per-driver fbdev_probe code, the client buffer can also wrap an object
that comes from a different memory region; for example gma500's stolen
memory area. This functionality is required to move forward with the
various per-driver implementations of fbdev_probe within the overall
DRM-client framework.

Tested with efidrm and virtio-gpu on Virt I/O hardware.

Thomas Zimmermann (7):
  drm/client: Remove pitch from struct drm_client_buffer
  drm/client: Move dumb-buffer handling to
    drm_client_framebuffer_create()
  drm/client: Inline drm_client_buffer_addfb() and _rmfb()
  drm/client: Deprecate struct drm_client_buffer.gem
  drm/client: Remove drm_client_framebuffer_delete()
  drm/client: Create client buffers with drm_client_buffer_create_dumb()
  drm/client: Flush client buffers with drm_client_buffer_sync()

[PATCH 1/7] drm/client: Remove pitch from struct drm_client_buffer

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Only the client-buffer setup uses the pitch field from struct
drm_client_buffer. Remove the field and pass the value among setup
helpers.

Clients that need the pitch should rather look at the framebuffer's
pitches[0] directly.

[PATCH 2/7] drm/client: Move dumb-buffer handling to drm_client_framebuffer_create()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Dumb-buffer creation within the client code is asymetrically balanced
across drm_client_buffer_create() and drm_client_framebuffer_create().
Put all dumb-buffer code into drm_client_framebuffer_create() and leave
client-buffer initialization to drm_client_buffer_create(). Clarifies
responsibility between these functions.

Apart form the architectural improvements, drm_client_buffer_create()
can now be exported if needed by clients. The client will be able to
initialize buffers that have been created from other interfaces than
dumb buffers.

[PATCH 3/7] drm/client: Inline drm_client_buffer_addfb() and _rmfb()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Creating and deleting a client buffer always creates and deletes
the underlying DRM framebuffer. Inline the helper functions into
their callers.

With the _addfb code being inlined into drm_client_buffer_create(),
clean up the function's error rollback to release the framebuffer's
handle and GEM buffer object as needed.

Move the _rmfb code into drm_client_buffer_delete() rather than its
current location in drm_client_framebuffer_delete(). The former is
now the inverse of drm_client_buffer_create(). Makes no difference
for cleaning up. Also prepares for the removal of
drm_client_framebuffer_delete().

[PATCH 4/7] drm/client: Deprecate struct drm_client_buffer.gem

[Thomas Zimmermann]

The client buffer's framebuffer holds a reference and pointer on
each of its GEM buffer objects. Thus the field gem in the client-
buffer struct is not necessary. Deprecated the field and convert
the client-buffer helpers to use the framebuffer's objects.

In drm_client_buffer_delete(), do a possible vunmap before releasing
the framebuffer. Otherwise we'd eventually release the framebuffer
before unmaping its buffer objects.

[PATCH 5/7] drm/client: Remove drm_client_framebuffer_delete()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Release client buffers with drm_client_buffer_delete() instead of
drm_client_framebuffer_delete(). The latter is just a tiny wrapper
around the former.

Move the test for !buffer into drm_client_buffer_delete(), although
all callers appear to always have a valid pointer.

It's too late to check, as you already used buffer->fb in the previous line.

[PATCH 6/7] drm/client: Create client buffers with drm_client_buffer_create_dumb()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Rename drm_client_framebuffer_create() to drm_client_buffer_create_dump()
and adapt callers. The new name reflects the function's purpose. Using
dumb buffers is the easiest way for creating a GEM buffer in a drivers-
independent way.

There's also drm_client_buffer_create(), which creates the client buffer
from a preexisting buffer object. This helper can be exported for drivers
that create their own GEM buffer object.

[PATCH 7/7] drm/client: Flush client buffers with drm_client_buffer_sync()

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Rename drm_client_framebuffer_flush() to drm_cient_buffer_flush() and
adapt its callers. The old name was left over from previous naming
conventions.
