Currently we trigger the push send first, then follow it with a "wait for safe window". That approach no longer works on PTL+ because triggering the push send immediately ends the safe window. On prior hardware the safe window extended past the push being sent (presumably all the way to the pipe's delayed vblank). In order to deal with the new hardware behaviour we must reverse the order of these two operations: first wait for safe window, then trigger the push. The only slight danger with this approach is that if we mess up the vblank evasion around the vmax decision boundary the push might get postponed until after the next frame's vactive. But assuming we don't mess up the vblank evasion this approach is completely safe. As a slight bonus we can perform the push after we've done the LUT writes as well, meaning we no longer have to worry about extending the vblank delay to provide enough time for LUT programming. Instead we will now depend on the vblank evasion at vmax decision boundary to guarantee this. However vblank delay (or framestart delay) is still the only way to provide extra time for the LUT programming in the non-VRR use cases. Let's assume we don't need anything extra for now, but eventually we should come up with some proper estimates on how long the LUT programming can take and configure the vblank delay accordingly for the non-VRR use cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
