This patch adds new structures in DRM layer for Palette color
correction.These structures will be used by user space agents
to configure appropriate number of samples and Palette LUT for
a platform.

I don't think we want to version the blobs. For one, we don't have a way
for userspace to ask for a specific version, so the kernel wouldn't know
which version it should return to each client.

If we ever need to come up with new version of a specific blob, I think we
just have to define another property for it. Either that or we'd some kind
of client cap stuff to negotiate the used version between the kernel and
a specific client.

Well, I suppose we migth be able to borrow the "flags+extend at the end"
trick we sometimes use for ioctl parameters to work for blobs too. But I
have a feeling we don't want to go there.

So yeah, I think we should go with the "blob layout is fixed for each
property" approach. Versioning then happens by introducing new versions
of the same property if needed.

Well, reason behind adding this version was, as this framework was a new 
development, we wanted to keep scope for further changes on request from 
other drivers/modules. But yes, I agree, its kind of overhead, so we can 
also remove it. Will do that in next patch set.

It's not strictly required, but adding a __u32 reserved here to align the
struct to 64 bits seems good imo. Slight overhead but meh about that.

Definitely great practice to take compat into account and definitely
needed for the first design using ioctls but I don't think we need this
here. Properties are already extinsible themselves: We can just greate a
"ctm-v2", "ctm-v3" if the layout changes, and since the actual ctm matrix
is stored in the drm_crtc_state any compat code on the kernel will be
shared.

Aside: For an ioctl the recommended way to handle backwards compat and
extensions in drm is with a flags bitfield. That's more flexible than a
linear version field, and extending the ioctl struct at the end is already
handled by the drm core in a transparent fashion (it 0-fills either kernel
or userspace side).

blob properties already have a size, storing it again in the blob is
redundnant. Instead I think a small helper to get the number of samples
for a given gamma table blob would be needed.

Is this really going to work, considering that we currently have a
zero sized drm_r32g32b32 array at the end ?

Iirc someone mentioned that using a pointer to the data (over an
array) has drawbacks, although for the sake of me I cannot think of
any. Can anyone care to enlighten me, please ?

Thanks

Well in this particular case it would be ugly. Sure, it can be done,
but we couldn't actually define the struct for it using C. Would be
a neat feature though. Someone should propose it for the next C
standard :)

In any case, for blobs I think we shouldn't extend them like ioctls.
In this case the blob is just an array of something, so the blob size
can of course vary depending how many elements are required for the
particual platform.

I guess an extensible array at the end of the struct is simply a nice
fit sometimes. Also makes it more obvious how much junk gets copied over
I suppose.

Sure it makes sense on its own. I'm curious how likely it will be for
people to get confused/carried away and miss that part. Just a food
for thought.

So no serious 'issues' there, but it's mostly done for convenience.
Thanks for clarifying.

Please note that they are different. One is the size of blob and other 
one is the num_samples supported by the property, in the current 
correction mode. If you check the design doc, num_sample serves the 
purpose of deciding which correction mode to be applied also. fox ex, 
for gamma, num_samples=0 indicates disable gamma, whereas 
num_samples=512 indicates split gamma mode.

No need for a flag field since this is not an ioctl struct. That "Aside:"
was really meant as a comment aside and not relevant for properties.

num_samples = blob_size/(sizeof(drm_r32g32b32));

I just think that this information is redundant and if userspace supplies
a gamma table with the wrong size we should just reject it. There's really
no reason for userspace to create a blob property where the size doesn't
exactly match the gamma table.

I guess again that this was needed for the ioctl where there's no sideband
for the size. But properties _are_ sized.

Also, you need to make sure that the property size is aligned and reject
the gamma table property if that's not the case, i.e.

	if (blob_size % sizeof(drm_r32g32b32))
		return -EINVAL;


Plus then driver-specific code to reject anything that's not one of the
supported sizes too.

Of course that also needs igt test coverage.

Again, this is what we decided in the design discussion. The driver will 
showcase the best option for property, but that doesn't stop a user 
space with more knowledge of HW to send other supported options. for 
example, in case of gamma, the driver supports all 3 possible modes:
- 8 bit legacy gamma (256 coeff)
- 10 bit split gamma (1024 coeff (512 + 512))
- 12 bit interpolated gamma (coeff 513)
So here, we have used the no of coeff to define which type of gamma we 
want to apply. So in the core gamma function you will find 4 cases:
switch(no_coeff)
case 0: disable gamma;
case 256: enable legacy gamma;
case 512: enable 10 bit split gamma;
case 513: enable 12 bit interpolated gamma;

This is the simplest implementation, and there is no need for any 
additional variable.

I'm confused, since this is exactly what I'm suggesting. My only
observation is that we don't need a separate num_samples field in the blob
structure itself since userspace already needs to tell the kernel the size
of the blob property separately. And we can derive num_samples from the
size of the blob easily (which means it'll make the necessary overflow
checks simpler).

You _must_ check drm_property_blob->length anyway (atm that seems to be
missing, but I didn't check with a full search), so might as well use that
to compute num_samples instead of just making sure they match.
