Subject: [PATCH 00/10] vga_switcheroo, drm: Push fbcon handling into DRM clients
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 15:38:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707135724.247562-1-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
Vga_switcheroo currently invokes fb_switch_outputs() to inform fbcon
about switching of the physical outputs among framebuffer devices. But
new DRM clients to not use fbdev/fbcon and might require their own
vga_switcheroo support. Let's strictly separate them from each other.
Remove fbdev/fbcon from vga_switcheroo. Introduce a pre_switch callback
for vga_switcheroo clients to do the fbcon update. Allows for removing
all direct interactions between vga_switcheroo and fbdev/fbcon.
Also replace the existing reprobe hook with post_switch for symetry.
At the same time, push the fbcon update into DRM's client for fbdev
emulation. Do this with the new DRM client callback acquire_outputs,
so that other clients can have their own handling of vga_switcheroo.
There are only four drivers that support vga_switcheroo: amdgpu,
radeon, i915 and nouveau. Update each of them with the new callbacks.
When vga_switcheroo now invokes pre_switch, each DRM driver forwards
to aquire_outputs and lets the DRM clients handle the new outputs.
Tested with radeon on a notebook with Radeon HD 4225 and HD 5430.
Thomas Zimmermann (10):
drm/edid: Include <linux/fb.h>
drm/client: Add acquire_outputs callback; implement for fbdev
emulation
vga_switcheroo: Add pre_switch callback to client ops
vga_switcheroo: Add post_switch callback to client ops
drm/amdgpu: Implement struct vga_switcheroo_client_ops.pre_switch
drm/i915: Implement vga_switcheroo_client_ops.pre_switch
drm/nouveau: Implement vga_switcheroo_client_ops.pre_switch
drm/nouveau: Implement vga_switcheroo_client_ops.post_switch
drm/radeon: Implement struct vga_switcheroo_client_ops.pre_switch
vga-switcheroo: Remove unused interfaces
