Description

This function commits the new plane state using the plane and atomic helper functions for planes and crtcs. It assumes that the atomic state has already been pushed into the relevant object state pointers, since this step can no longer fail.

It still requires the global state object old_state to know which planes and crtcs need to be updated though.

Note that this function does all plane updates across all CRTCs in one step. If the hardware can't support this approach look at drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc instead.

Plane parameters can be updated by applications while the associated CRTC is disabled. The DRM/KMS core will store the parameters in the plane state, which will be available to the driver when the CRTC is turned on. As a result most drivers don't need to be immediately notified of plane updates for a disabled CRTC.

Unless otherwise needed, drivers are advised to set the active_only parameters to true in order not to receive plane update notifications related to a disabled CRTC. This avoids the need to manually ignore plane updates in driver code when the driver and/or hardware can't or just don't need to deal with updates on disabled CRTCs, for example when supporting runtime PM.

The drm_atomic_helper_commit default implementation only sets active_only to false to most closely match the behaviour of the legacy helpers. This should not be copied blindly by drivers.
