In DRM/KMS we are lacking a good way to deal with tiled/compressed
formats.  Especially in the case of dmabuf/prime buffer sharing, where
we cannot always rely on under-the-hood flags passed to driver specific
gem-create ioctl to pass around these extra flags.

The proposal is to add a per-plane format modifier.  This allows to, if
necessary, use different tiling patters for sub-sampled planes, etc.
The format modifiers are added at the end of the ioctl struct, so for
legacy userspace it will be zero padded.

TODO how best to deal with assignment of modifier token values?  The
rough idea was to namespace things with an 8bit vendor-id, and then
beyond that it is treated as an opaque value.  But that was a relatively
arbitrary choice.  There are cases where same tiling pattern and/or
compression is supported by various different vendors.  So we should
standardize to use the vendor-id and value of the first one who
documents the format?

v1: original
v1.5: increase modifier to 64b

v2: Incorporate review comments from the big thread, plus a few more.

- Add a getcap so that userspace doesn't have to jump through hoops.
- Allow modifiers only when a flag is set. That way drivers know when
  they're dealing with old userspace and need to fish out e.g. tiling
  from other information.
- After rolling out checks for ->modifier to all drivers I've decided
  that this is way too fragile and needs an explicit opt-in flag. So
  do that instead.
- Add a define (just for documentation really) for the "NONE"
  modifier. Imo we don't need to add mask #defines since drivers
  really should only do exact matches against values defined with
  fourcc_mod_code.
- Drop the Samsung tiling modifier on Rob's request since he's not yet
  sure whether that one is accurate.

I've picked this up since we want to push out some fancy new tiling
modes soonish. No defines yet, but Tvrkto is working on the i915 parts
of this.

I think the only part I haven't done from the discussion is exposing a
list of supported modifiers. Not sure that's really useful though
since all this is highly hw specific.

And a note to driver writes: They need to check or the flag and in its
absence make a reasonable choice about the internal layet (e.g. for
i915 consult the tiling mode of the underlying bo).

Maybe:
	__u64 modifier[4];
	__u64 vendor_modifier[4];

?

iirc, I think we decided that drm_fourcc.h in drm-next is a sufficient
authority for coordinating assignment of modifier token values, so we
could probably drop this TODO.  Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to document
somewhere that, as with fourcc/format values, new additions are
expected to come with some description of the format?

you forgot to change subject line to (v2).. but other than that, looks good

Oh right forgotten to drop the TODO. I'll add a comment to the header

Ah, I generally don't keep a patch revision in the subject and forgot to

Seems rendundant since the modifier added in this patch is already vendor
specific. Or what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

I am trying to avoid packet-in-a-packet (bitmasks) mumbo-jumbo and 
vendor id on the head followed by maybe standardized or maybe vendor 
specific tag. Feels funny. Would it not be simpler to put a struct in there?

But I was not following this from the start so maybe I am missing 
something..

The u64 modifier is just an opaque thing, with 8 bit to identifier the
vendor (for easier number management really) and the low 56 bits can be
whatever we want them. On i915 I think we should just enumerate all the
various tiling modes we have. And if the modifiers aren't set we use the
tiling mode of the underlying gem bo. We already have code in place to
guarantee that the underlying bo's tiling can't change as long as there's
a kms fb around, which means all code which checks for tiling can switch
over to these flags.

struct won't work since by definition this is vendor-specific, and every
vendor is slightly insane in a different way.

Well 8 + 56 bits is a "struct" already and not fully opaque. Are the 
bits expensive? :) That was first part of my point.

Secondly, "vendor who registers first" part of discussion is what came 
to my attention as well.

With this, a hypothetical standard format would be under a vendor id 
which looks funny to me. While you could split standard 
formats/modifiers and vendor specific modifiers.

I don't care really, it was just an idea, but I don't get this arguments 
why it is, not only not better, but worse than a bitfield. :)

If some standard body actually manages to pull this off we can always add
a new enum value for KHRONOS or MICROSOFT or ISO or whatever it ends up
being. The split really is just to make number assignements less
conflit-y.

Just from your struct without any explanation what your idea was (namely
modifiers which are standardized across vendors it seems) it looked like
both a plain modifier and a vendor_modifier was possible. Which didn't
make a lot of sense to me, so I asked.

Going with an opaque u64 has the benefits that it matches kms property
values. So if we ever extend this and allow generic properties for
framebuffers it'll still fit. A struct is more painful. The idea of fb
properties was one of the longer-term ideas tossed around in the v1
thread.

tbh, we could decide to do something different from 8+56b later if
needed..  nothing should really *depend* on the 8+56, since it is
intended to be an opaque token.  The 8+56 was just intended to make it
easier to merge values coming from different driver trees with less
conflicts.

maybe we should s/vendor/driver/

I guess it gets into bikeshed territory a bit, but I've tried to avoid
giving userspace the temptation to assume it is much more than an
opaque value.  The 8+56 thing was mainly just intended for logistical
convenience ;-)
