The ast HW cursor requires the primary plane and CRTC to display at a valid mode and format. This is not the case while switching display modes, which can lead to the screen turing permanently dark. As a workaround, the ast driver now disables active planes while the mode or format switch takes place. It also synchronizes with the vertical refresh to give CRTC and planes some time to catch up on each other. The active planes planes (primary or cursor) will be re-enabled by each plane's atomic_update() function. v3: * move the logic into the CRTC's atomic_disable function v2: * move the logic into the commit-tail function Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200914072236.19398-3-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
