Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] drm: introduce KMS recovery mechanism
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:15:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220171518.711594-1-someguy@effective-light.com> (raw)
There should be a mechanism for drivers to respond to flip_done
timeouts. Since, as it stands it is possible for the display to stall
indefinitely, necessitating a hard reset. So, introduce a new mechanism
that tries various methods of recovery with increasing aggression, in
the following order:
1. Force a full modeset (have the compositor reprogram the state from
scratch).
2. As a last resort, have the driver attempt a vendor specific reset
(which they can do by reading the return value of
drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done()).
Signed-off-by: Hamza Mahfooz <someguy@effective-light.com>
---
v2: new to the series
v3: get rid of page_flip_timeout() and have
drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done() return a error.
v4: get rid of nested ret variable.
