Subject: [PATCH v6 00/25] drm/dumb-buffers: Fix and improve buffer-size calculation
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 10:17:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821081918.79786-1-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
Dumb-buffer pitch and size is specified by width, height, bits-per-pixel
plus various hardware-specific alignments. The calculation of these
values is inconsistent and duplicated among drivers. The results for
formats with bpp < 8 are sometimes incorrect.
This series fixes this for most drivers. Default scanline pitch and
buffer size are now calculated with the existing 4CC helpers. There is
a new helper drm_mode_size_dumb() that calculates scanline pitch and
buffer size according to driver requirements.
The series fixes the common GEM implementations for DMA, SHMEM and
VRAM. It further changes most implementations of dumb_create to use
the new helper. A small number of drivers has more complicated
calculations and will be updated by a later patches.
v6:
- extend TODO item (Tomi)
- fix typos in documentation (Tomi)
v5:
- use check_mul_overflow() for overflow test (Tomi)
- imx: fix intermediate code (Tomi)
- rz-du: include dumb-buffers header
v4:
- improve UAPI documentation
- document bpp special cases
- use drm_warn_once()
- add TODO lists
- armada: fix pitch alignment
v3:
- document UAPI semantics
- fall back to bpp-based allocation for unknown color modes
- cleanups
v2:
- rewrite series
- convert many individual drivers besides the shared GEM helpers
