+Subject: drm: don't block fb changes for async plane updates
+
+From: Helen Koike <helen.koike@collabora.com>
+
+commit 89a4aac0ab0e6f5eea10d7bf4869dd15c3de2cd4 upstream.
+
+In the case of a normal sync update, the preparation of framebuffers (be
+it calling drm_atomic_helper_prepare_planes() or doing setups with
+drm_framebuffer_get()) are performed in the new_state and the respective
+cleanups are performed in the old_state.
+
+In the case of async updates, the preparation is also done in the
+new_state but the cleanups are done in the new_state (because updates
+are performed in place, i.e. in the current state).
+
+The current code blocks async udpates when the fb is changed, turning
+async updates into sync updates, slowing down cursor updates and
+introducing regressions in igt tests with errors of type:
+
+"CRITICAL: completed 97 cursor updated in a period of 30 flips, we
+expect to complete approximately 15360 updates, with the threshold set
+at 7680"
+
+Fb changes in async updates were prevented to avoid the following scenario:
+
+- Async update, oldfb = NULL, newfb = fb1, prepare fb1, cleanup fb1
+- Async update, oldfb = fb1, newfb = fb2, prepare fb2, cleanup fb2
+- Non-async commit, oldfb = fb2, newfb = fb1, prepare fb1, cleanup fb2 (wrong)
+Where we have a single call to prepare fb2 but double cleanup call to fb2.
+
+To solve the above problems, instead of blocking async fb changes, we
+place the old framebuffer in the new_state object, so when the code
+performs cleanups in the new_state it will cleanup the old_fb and we
+will have the following scenario instead:
+
+- Async update, oldfb = NULL, newfb = fb1, prepare fb1, no cleanup
+- Async update, oldfb = fb1, newfb = fb2, prepare fb2, cleanup fb1
+- Non-async commit, oldfb = fb2, newfb = fb1, prepare fb1, cleanup fb2
+
+Where calls to prepare/cleanup are balanced.
