Add drm_modes_size_dumb(), a helper to calculate the dumb-buffer scanline pitch and allocation size. Implementations of struct drm_driver.dumb_create can call the new helper for their size computations. There is currently quite a bit of code duplication among DRM's memory managers. Each calculates scanline pitch and buffer size from the given arguments, but the implementations are inconsistent in how they treat alignment and format support. Later patches will unify this code on top of drm_mode_size_dumb() as much as possible. drm_mode_size_dumb() uses existing 4CC format helpers to interpret the given color mode. This makes the dumb-buffer interface behave similar the kernel's video= parameter. Current per-driver implementations again likely have subtle differences or bugs in how they support color modes. The dumb-buffer UAPI is only specified for known color modes. These values describe linear, single-plane RGB color formats or legacy index formats. Other values should not be specified. But some user space still does. So for unknown color modes, there are a number of known exceptions for which drm_mode_size_dumb() calculates the pitch from the bpp value, as before. All other values work the same but print an error. v6: - document additional use cases for DUMB_CREATE2 in TODO list (Tomi) - fix typos in documentation (Tomi) v5: - check for overflows with check_mul_overflow() (Tomi) v4: - use %u conversion specifier (Geert) - list DRM_FORMAT_Dn in UAPI docs (Geert) - avoid dmesg spamming with drm_warn_once() (Sima) - add more information about bpp special case (Sima) - clarify parameters for hardware alignment - add a TODO item for DUMB_CREATE2 v3: - document the UAPI semantics - compute scanline pitch from for unknown color modes (Andy, Tomi) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ideasonboard.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250821081918.79786-3-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 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.
