Pass an instance of struct drm_format_conv_state to DRM's format conversion helpers. Update all callers. Most drivers can use the format-conversion state from their shadow- plane state. The shadow plane's destroy function releases the allocated buffer. Drivers will later be able to allocate a buffer of appropriate size in their plane's atomic_check code. The gud driver uses a separate thread for committing updates. For now, the update worker contains its own format-conversion state. Images in the format-helper tests are small. The tests preallocate a static page for the temporary buffer. Unloading the module releases the memory. v6: * update patch for ssd132x support v5: * avoid using unusupported shadow-plane state in repaper (Noralf) * fix documentation (Noralf, kernel test robot) v3: * store buffer in shadow-plane state (Javier, Maxime) * replace ARRAY_SIZE() with sizeof() (Jani) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Tested-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> # ssd130x Cc: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Cc: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Cc: David Lechner <david@lechnology.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20231009141018.11291-4-tzimmermann@suse.de
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 Restructured Text 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.
