Open/Close, File Operations and IOCTLs
======================================
-Open and Close
---------------
-
-Open and close handlers. None of those methods are mandatory::
-
- int (*firstopen) (struct drm_device *);
- void (*lastclose) (struct drm_device *);
- int (*open) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
- void (*preclose) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
- void (*postclose) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
-
-The firstopen method is called by the DRM core for legacy UMS (User Mode
-Setting) drivers only when an application opens a device that has no
-other opened file handle. UMS drivers can implement it to acquire device
-resources. KMS drivers can't use the method and must acquire resources
-in the load method instead.
-
-Similarly the lastclose method is called when the last application
-holding a file handle opened on the device closes it, for both UMS and
-KMS drivers. Additionally, the method is also called at module unload
-time or, for hot-pluggable devices, when the device is unplugged. The
-firstopen and lastclose calls can thus be unbalanced.
-
-The open method is called every time the device is opened by an
-application. Drivers can allocate per-file private data in this method
-and store them in the struct :c:type:`struct drm_file
-<drm_file>` driver_priv field. Note that the open method is
-called before firstopen.
-
-The close operation is split into preclose and postclose methods.
-Drivers must stop and cleanup all per-file operations in the preclose
-method. For instance pending vertical blanking and page flip events must
-be cancelled. No per-file operation is allowed on the file handle after
-returning from the preclose method.
-
-Finally the postclose method is called as the last step of the close
-operation, right before calling the lastclose method if no other open
-file handle exists for the device. Drivers that have allocated per-file
-private data in the open method should free it here.
-
-The lastclose method should restore CRTC and plane properties to default
-value, so that a subsequent open of the device will not inherit state
-from the previous user. It can also be used to execute delayed power
-switching state changes, e.g. in conjunction with the :ref:`vga_switcheroo`
-infrastructure. Beyond that KMS drivers should not do any
-further cleanup. Only legacy UMS drivers might need to clean up device
-state so that the vga console or an independent fbdev driver could take
-over.

+
+The basic object structure KMS presents to userspace is fairly simple.
+Framebuffers (represented by :c:type:`struct drm_framebuffer <drm_framebuffer>`,
+see `Frame Buffer Abstraction`_) feed into planes. One or more (or even no)
+planes feed their pixel data into a CRTC (represented by :c:type:`struct
+drm_crtc <drm_crtc>`, see `CRTC Abstraction`_) for blending. The precise
+blending step is explained in more detail in `Plane Composition Properties`_ and
+related chapters.
+
+For the output routing the first step is encoders (represented by
+:c:type:`struct drm_encoder <drm_encoder>`, see `Encoder Abstraction`_). Those
+are really just internal artifacts of the helper libraries used to implement KMS
+drivers. Besides that they make it unecessarily more complicated for userspace
+to figure out which connections between a CRTC and a connector are possible, and
+what kind of cloning is supported, they serve no purpose in the userspace API.
+Unfortunately encoders have been exposed to userspace, hence can't remove them
+at this point. Futhermore the exposed restrictions are often wrongly set by
+drivers, and in many cases not powerful enough to express the real restrictions.
+A CRTC can be connected to multiple encoders, and for an active CRTC there must
+be at least one encoder.
+
+The final, and real, endpoint in the display chain is the connector (represented
+by :c:type:`struct drm_connector <drm_connector>`, see `Connector
+Abstraction`_). Connectors can have different possible encoders, but the kernel
+driver selects which encoder to use for each connector. The use case is DVI,
+which could switch between an analog and a digital encoder. Encoders can also
+drive multiple different connectors. There is exactly one active connector for
+every active encoder.
+
+Internally the output pipeline is a bit more complex and matches today's
+hardware more closely:
+
+.. kernel-render:: DOT
+ :alt: KMS Output Pipeline
+ :caption: KMS Output Pipeline
+
+ digraph "Output Pipeline" {

+ "drm_bridge B" -> "drm_connector B";
+ "drm_bridge C2" -> "drm_connector C";
+
+ "drm_panel"
+ }
+ }
+
+Internally two additional helper objects come into play. First, to be able to
+share code for encoders (sometimes on the same SoC, sometimes off-chip) one or
+more :ref:`drm_bridges` (represented by :c:type:`struct drm_bridge
+<drm_bridge>`) can be linked to an encoder. This link is static and cannot be
+changed, which means the cross-bar (if there is any) needs to be mapped between
+the CRTC and any encoders. Often for drivers with bridges there's no code left
+at the encoder level. Atomic drivers can leave out all the encoder callbacks to
+essentially only leave a dummy routing object behind, which is needed for
+backwards compatibility since encoders are exposed to userspace.
+
+The second object is for panels, represented by :c:type:`struct drm_panel
+<drm_panel>`, see :ref:`drm_panel_helper`. Panels do not have a fixed binding
+point, but are generally linked to the driver private structure that embeds
+:c:type:`struct drm_connector <drm_connector>`.
+
+Note that currently the bridge chaining and interactions with connectors and
+panels are still in-flux and not really fully sorted out yet.

+
+The base structure for all KMS objects is :c:type:`struct drm_mode_object

+which are especially important for the atomic IOCTL (see `Atomic Mode
+Setting`_). The somewhat surprising part here is that properties are not
+directly instantiated on each object, but free-standing mode objects themselves,
+represented by :c:type:`struct drm_property <drm_property>`, which only specify
+the type and value range of a property. Any given property can be attached
+multiple times to different objects using :c:func:`drm_object_attach_property()

+
+Atomic provides transactional modeset (including planes) updates, but a
+bit differently from the usual transactional approach of try-commit and
+rollback:
+
+- Firstly, no hardware changes are allowed when the commit would fail. This
+ allows us to implement the DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY mode, which allows
+ userspace to explore whether certain configurations would work or not.
+
+- This would still allow setting and rollback of just the software state,
+ simplifying conversion of existing drivers. But auditing drivers for
+ correctness of the atomic_check code becomes really hard with that: Rolling
+ back changes in data structures all over the place is hard to get right.
+
+- Lastly, for backwards compatibility and to support all use-cases, atomic
+ updates need to be incremental and be able to execute in parallel. Hardware
+ doesn't always allow it, but where possible plane updates on different CRTCs
+ should not interfere, and not get stalled due to output routing changing on
+ different CRTCs.
+
+Taken all together there's two consequences for the atomic design:
+
+- The overall state is split up into per-object state structures:
+ :c:type:`struct drm_plane_state <drm_plane_state>` for planes, :c:type:`struct
+ drm_crtc_state <drm_crtc_state>` for CRTCs and :c:type:`struct
+ drm_connector_state <drm_connector_state>` for connectors. These are the only
+ objects with userspace-visible and settable state. For internal state drivers
+ can subclass these structures through embeddeding, or add entirely new state
+ structures for their globally shared hardware functions.
+
+- An atomic update is assembled and validated as an entirely free-standing pile
+ of structures within the :c:type:`drm_atomic_state <drm_atomic_state>`
+ container. Again drivers can subclass that container for their own state
+ structure tracking needs. Only when a state is committed is it applied to the
+ driver and modeset objects. This way rolling back an update boils down to
+ releasing memory and unreferencing objects like framebuffers.
+
+Read on in this chapter, and also in :ref:`drm_atomic_helper` for more detailed
+coverage of specific topics.
