From: Mikita Lipski <mikita.lipski@amd.com>

Since for DSC MST connector's PBN is claculated differently
due to compression, we have to recalculate both PBN and
VCPI slots for that connector.

This patch proposes to use similair logic as in
dm_encoder_helper_atomic_chek, but since we do not know which
connectors will have DSC enabled we have to recalculate PBN only
after that's determined, which is done in
compute_mst_dsc_configs_for_state.

Ok, let's stop and slow down for a minute here since I've repeated myself a
few times, and I'd like to figure out what's actually happening here and
whether I'm not being clear enough with my explanations, or if there's just
some misunderstanding here.

I'll start of by trying my best to explain my hesistance in accepting these
patches. To be clear, MST with DSC is a big thing in terms of impact. There's
a lot of things to consider:
 * What should the default DSC policy for MST be? Should we keep it on by
   default so that we don't need to trigger a large number of PBN
   recalculations and enable DSC on a per-case basis, or are there legitimate
   reasons to keep DSC off by default (such as potential issues with lossiness
   down the line).
 * We have other drivers in the tree that are planning on implementing MST DSC
   quite soon. Chances are they'll be implementing helpers to do this so this
   can be supported across the DRM tree, and chances are we'll just have to
   rewrite and remove most of this code in that case once they do.
 * amdgpu already has a _lot_ of code that doesn't need to, and shouldn't be
   there. This ranges from various DC specific helpers that are essentially
   the same as the helpers that we already implement in the rest of DRM, to
   misuses of various kernel APIs, and a complete lack of any kind of code
   style (at least the last time that I checked) in or out of DC. This makes
   the driver more difficult for people who don't work at AMD but are well
   accustomed to working on the rest of the kernel, e.g. myself and others,
   and it's a problem that seriously needs to be solved. Adding more redundant
   DP helpers that will inevitably get removed is just making the problem
   worse.

With all of this being said: I've been asking the same questions about this
patch throughout the whole patch series so far (since it got passed off to you
from David's internship ending):

 * Can we keep DSC enabled by default, so that these patches aren't needed?
 * If we can't, can we move this into common code so that other drivers can
   use it?
The problem is I haven't received any responses to these questions, other then
being told by David a month or two ago that it would be expedient to just
accept the patches and move on. Honestly, if discussion had been had about the
changes I requested, I would have given my r-b a long time ago. In fact-I
really want to give it now! There's multiple patches in this series that would
be very useful for other things that are being worked on at the moment, such
as the changes to drm_dp_dpcd_read/drm_dp_dpcd_write(). But I really think
this needs to be discussed first, and I'm worried that just going ahead and
giving my R-B before they have been discussed will further encourage rushing
changes like this in the future and continually building more tech debt for
ourselves.

Please note as well: if anything I've asked for is confusing, or you don't
understand what I'm asking or looking for I am more then willing to help
explain things and help out as best as I can. I understand that a lot of the
developers working on DRM at AMD may have more experience in Windows and Mac
land and as a result, trying to get used to the way that we do things in the
Linux kernel can be a confusing endeavor. I'm more then happy to help out with
this wherever I can, all you need to do is ask. Asking a few questions about
something you aren't sure you understand can save both of us a lot of time,
and avoid having to go through this many patch respins.

In the mean time, I'd be willing to look at what patches from this series that
have already been reviewed which could be pushed to drm-misc or friends in the
mean time to speed things up a bit.

yikes
I need to apologize because I was going through my email and I realized you
_did_ respond to me earlier regarding some of these questions, it just appears
the reply fell through the cracks and somehow I didn't notice it until just
now. Sorry about that!

I'm still not sure I understand why this is a future enhancement? Everything
we need to implement these helpers should already be here, it's just a matter
of keeping track who has dsc enabled where in the mst atomic state

No worries, the patches got messy and are easily lost in here. I'll 
clean up on the next batch so it will be clearer what's happening

As I've mentioned earlier our policy for DSC is to keep it disabled if 
not needed, because it is a lossy compression. Beside the fact that we 
don't want imperfect image on the screen, enabling DSC would also 
increase our power consumption. If we need it - we use the  greedy 
algorithm inside compute_mst_dsc_configs_for_link to only enable DSC on 
streams that can't fit into allowed bandwidth without compression.

I'm not exactly sure how it can be moved as helper to DRM.
We keep track on which stream has DSC enabled by raising DSC flag in 
dc_stream_state flags structure.
That it why pbn recalculation was moved to a separate function so only 
streams that have DSC flag raised get VCPI recalculated.

I guess if we would have dsc_desired flag on drm_connnector_state and it 
would then perform recalculation of PBN and VCPI for the connector. 
Would that be something applicable as a DRM helper?

This would probably be a better fit for drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr's atomic state
(take a look at the atomic VCPI helpers), specifically in struct
drm_dp_mst_vcpi (maybe we should rename it to struct drm_dp_mst_port_bw while
we're at it) and store DSC enablement information there. Then we can write a
helper to go through all of the enabled ports on the topology and add the
affected ones into the atomic state and set ->mode_changed on all of them.
