- Note that the drm core has no notion of restoring the mode setting

- <para>
- Schedule a page flip to the given frame buffer for the CRTC. This
- operation is called with the mode config mutex held.
- </para>
- <para>
- Page flipping is a synchronization mechanism that replaces the frame
- buffer being scanned out by the CRTC with a new frame buffer during
- vertical blanking, avoiding tearing. When an application requests a page
- flip the DRM core verifies that the new frame buffer is large enough to
- be scanned out by the CRTC in the currently configured mode and then
- calls the CRTC <methodname>page_flip</methodname> operation with a
- pointer to the new frame buffer.
- </para>
- <para>
- The <methodname>page_flip</methodname> operation schedules a page flip.
- Once any pending rendering targeting the new frame buffer has
- completed, the CRTC will be reprogrammed to display that frame buffer
- after the next vertical refresh. The operation must return immediately
- without waiting for rendering or page flip to complete and must block
- any new rendering to the frame buffer until the page flip completes.
- </para>
- <para>
- If a page flip can be successfully scheduled the driver must set the
- <code>drm_crtc-&gt;fb</code> field to the new framebuffer pointed to
- by <code>fb</code>. This is important so that the reference counting
- on framebuffers stays balanced.
- </para>
- <para>
- If a page flip is already pending, the
- <methodname>page_flip</methodname> operation must return
- -<errorname>EBUSY</errorname>.
- </para>
- <para>
- To synchronize page flip to vertical blanking the driver will likely
- need to enable vertical blanking interrupts. It should call
- <function>drm_vblank_get</function> for that purpose, and call
- <function>drm_vblank_put</function> after the page flip completes.
- </para>
- <para>
- If the application has requested to be notified when page flip completes
- the <methodname>page_flip</methodname> operation will be called with a
- non-NULL <parameter>event</parameter> argument pointing to a
- <structname>drm_pending_vblank_event</structname> instance. Upon page
- flip completion the driver must call <methodname>drm_send_vblank_event</methodname>
- to fill in the event and send to wake up any waiting processes.
- This can be performed with
- <programlisting><![CDATA[
- spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock, flags);
- ...
- drm_send_vblank_event(dev, pipe, event);
- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->event_lock, flags);

- FIXME: Could drivers that don't need to wait for rendering to complete
- just add the event to <literal>dev-&gt;vblank_event_list</literal> and
- let the DRM core handle everything, as for "normal" vertical blanking
- events?
- </para></note>
- <para>
- While waiting for the page flip to complete, the
- <literal>event-&gt;base.link</literal> list head can be used freely by
- the driver to store the pending event in a driver-specific list.
- </para>
- <para>
- If the file handle is closed before the event is signaled, drivers must
- take care to destroy the event in their
- <methodname>preclose</methodname> operation (and, if needed, call
- <function>drm_vblank_put</function>).
