For old-school component TV and CRT connectors, we require a heavyweight
load-detection mechanism. This involves setting up a CRTC and sending a
signal to the output, before reading back any response. As that is quite
slow and CPU heavy, the process is only performed when the output
detection is forced by user request. As it requires a driving CRTC, we
often don't have the resources to complete the probe. This leaves us in
a quandary where the unforced path just returns the old connector
status, but the forced detection path elects to return UNKNOWN. If we
have an active connection, we likely have the resources available to
complete the probe - but if it is currently disconnected, then it
becomes unknown and triggers a hotplug event, with often quite unfortunate
userspace behaviour (e.g. one output is blanked and the spurious TV
turned on).

To reduce spurious hotplug events on older devices, we can prevent
transitions between disconnected <-> unknown.

v2: Convert tv_type to use proper unknown enum (Ville)

This solution is at odds with

commit b7703726251191cd9f3ef3a80b2d9667901eec95

    drm/probe-helper: clamp unknown connector status in the poll work

We're missing this bit of logic from the hotplug handlers, but that was
somewhat intentional since a hotplug should indicate that something has
changed. And in the i915 hpd handler we filter by source.

Given that the report is older than me having resurrect that patch can we
close it as fixed or do I miss something?

Thanks, Daniel

It's a different path. This also concerns the actual forced reprobe
fluctuating between two states.

In that case I still think it should be in the probe helpers. Which raises
the policy decision whether we should ever hand unkown back to userspace
since apparently it just can't cope sensible with it. But that call should
be done consistently accross drivers.

Hmm, the probe helper is not the central arbiter here which is a problem
in moving it entirely into its domain. UNKNOWN makes a sense form the hw
perspective, and we still need to report that status before any probes
are made at all (whether that is init/resume) and the problem in this
case is not so much as userspace mishandling it, but the fluctuation
between UNKNOWN/DISCONNECTED is causing activity and reconfiguration not
entirely of its own fault.

Well for the poll worker part of the probe helpers I went with

	if (new_status == unknown)
		connector->status = old_status;

which takes care of the init/resume time unknown->(dis)connected
transition correctly while filtering the noise. Adding that to the
synchronous users probe function (which is the only one that sets force ==
true) would achieve what you want I think. But it also means that we
almost always filter out unknown and never let userspace known that the hw
detection is uncertain.

Maybe we instead need a drm helper module option to clamp unknown
uncondiotionally to disconnected to allow users to hack around silly
userspace?

I thought that connected->unknown was less likely and of more
significance than disconnected<->unknown. But that was from thinking
that the output was in use whilst it was connected, and so should always
have the resources available to do the detection. On second thought, we
should always just suppress the ->unknown transition.

The best way to then report the unreliable detection would to be report
an error trying to connect to the CRT/TV (by a vblank load detect cycle)
and signal EREMOTEIO in enable -- but the modesetting code still does
not report errors, despite their continued prevalence (such as training
failures).

We have userspace that respects unknown, after it is what the fb_helper
was copied from. Unknown is unknown, userspace can either treat it as
potentially connector or potentially disconnected depending on best that
suites its purposes. So I don't think a global change is sensible.

Well you implement some kind of clamping in i915 drivers. My stance is
that no matter what exact kind of clamping we agree on it should be
implemented in shared code in the probe helpers. And we already have quite
a bit of unknown duct-taping going on in the probe helpers, but it seems
to not be enough. And tbh I'm not sure what more we need short of just
clamping unknown in general.
