Hi,
This work from me and Simon adds support for DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC through
the atomic API. This feature is already available via the legacy API. The use
case is to be able to present a new frame immediately (or as soon as
possible), even if after missing a vblank. This might result in teari
From: Simon Ser
If the driver supports it, allow user-space to supply the
DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC flag to request an async page-flip.
Set drm_crtc_state.async_flip accordingly.
Document that drivers will reject atomic commits if an async
flip isn't possible. This allows user-space to fall back
From: Simon Ser
This new kernel capability indicates whether async page-flips are
supported via the atomic uAPI. DRM clients can use it to check
for support before feeding DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC to the kernel.
Make it clear that DRM_CAP_ASYNC_PAGE_FLIP is for legacy uAPI only.

This new field indicates whether the driver has the necessary logic
to support async page-flips via the atomic uAPI. This is leveraged by
the next commit to allow user-space to use this functionality.
All atomic drivers setting drm_mode_config.async_page_flip are updated
to also
From: Simon Ser
amdgpu_dm_commit_planes() already sets the flip_immediate flag for
async page-flips. This flag is used to set the UNP_FLIP_CONTROL
register. Thus, no additional change is required to handle async
page-flips with the atomic uAPI.

Given that prop changes may lead to modesetting, which would defeat the
fast path of the async flip, refuse any atomic prop change for async
flips in atomic API. The only exceptions are the framebuffer ID to flip
to and the mode ID, that could be referring to an identical mode.

Specify how the atomic state is maintained between userspace and
kernel, plus the special case for async flips.
