drm/atomic: Take the atomic toys away from X
The -modesetting ddx has a totally broken idea of how atomic works: - doesn't disable old connectors, assuming they get auto-disable like with the legacy setcrtc - assumes ASYNC_FLIP is wired through for the atomic ioctl - not a single call to TEST_ONLY Iow the implementation is a 1:1 translation of legacy ioctls to atomic, which is a) broken b) pointless. We already have bugs in both i915 and amdgpu-DC where this prevents us from enabling neat features. If anyone ever cares about atomic in X we can easily add a new atomic level (req->value == 2) for X to get back the shiny toys. Since these broken versions of -modesetting have been shipping, there's really no other way to get out of this bind. v2: - add an informational dmesg output (Rob, Ajax) - reorder after the DRIVER_ATOMIC check to avoid useless noise (Ilia) - allow req->value > 2 so that X can do another attempt at atomic in the future v3: Go with paranoid, insist that the X should be first (suggested by Rob) Cc: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin@alum.mit.edu> References: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues/629 References: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/merge_requests/180 References: abbc0697 ("drm/fb: revert the i915 Actually configure untiled displays from master") Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> (v1) Reviewed-by: Nicholas Kazlauskas <nicholas.kazlauskas@amd.com> (v1) Cc: Michel Dänzer <michel@daenzer.net> Cc: Alex Deucher <alexdeucher@gmail.com> Cc: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Acked-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Cc: Sean Paul <sean@poorly.run> Cc: David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> Cc: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com> Acked-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190905185318.31363-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch
