When variable refresh rate is active the hardware counter can return a position >= vtotal. This results in a vpos being returned from amdgpu_display_get_crtc_scanoutpos that's a positive value. The positive value indicates to the caller that the display is currently in scanout when the display is actually still in vblank. This is because the vfront porch duration is unknown with variable refresh active and will end when either a page flip occurs or the timeout specified by the driver/display is reached. The behavior of the amdgpu_display_get_crtc_scanoutpos remains the same when the position is below vtotal. When the position is above vtotal the function will return a value that is effectively -vbl_end, the size of the vback porch. The only caller affected by this change is the DRM helper for calculating vblank timestamps. This change corrects behavior for calculating the page flip timestamp from being the previous timestamp to the calculation to the next timestamp when position >= vtotal.

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.
