With instantaneous high precision vblank timestamping that updates at leading edge of vblank, a cooked hw vblank counter which increments at leading edge of vblank, and reliable page flip execution and completion at leading edge of vblank, we should meet the requirements for fast/immediate vblank irq disable/enable. Testing on Linux-4.12-rc5 + drm-next on a Radeon R9 380 Tonga Pro (DCE 10) with timing measurement equipment indicates this works fine, so allow immediate vblank disable for power saving. For debugging in case of unexpected trouble, booting with kernel cmdline option drm.vblankoffdelay=0 (or echo 0 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/vblankoffdelay) would keep vblank irqs permanently on to approximate old behavior.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
