[Why]
crc_skip_count is used to track how many frames to skip to allow the OTG
CRC engine to "warm up" before it outputs correct CRC values.
Experimentally, this seems to be 2 frames.

When duplicating CRTC states, this value was not copied to the
duplicated state. Therefore, when this state is committed, we will
needlessly wait 2 frames before outputing CRC values. Even if the CRC
engine is already warmed up. >
[How]
Copy the crc_skip_count as part of dm_crtc_duplicate_state.

This likely introduces regressions.

Here's an example case where it can take two frames even after the CRTC is enabled:

1. VUPDATE is before line 0, in the front porch, counter=0
2. Flip arrives before VUPDATE is signaled, but does not finish programming until after VUPDATE point, counter=0.
3. Vblank counter increments, counter=1.
4. Flip programming finishes, counter=1.
5. OS delay happens, cursor programming is delayed, counter=1.
6. Cursor programming starts, counter=1.
7. VUPDATE fires, updating frame but missing cursor, counter=1.
8. Cursor programming finishes, counter=2.
9. Cursor programming pending for counter=2.

This is a little contrived, but I've seen something similar happen during IGT testing before.

Hi Nick,

I'm wondering if we have a test that can reproduce the issue that you described. For this specific patch, I ran it through our pre-submission CI, and everything worked as expected, except the subtest pipe-a-primary-size-* in the kms_plane_cursor. However, I submitted the below IGT patch that fixed the issue:

 https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/469919/?series=98994&rev=1
 (Note that the IGT fix is not related to the scenario you described.)

In summary, I do not see regressions in other tests, whereas this patch fixes multiple CRC mismatches when running IGT (e.g., kms_plane and plane_scaling).

Do you recommend running some specific test to reproduce the issue? Maybe some particular set of steps that enable me to see the issue?

Ps.: Some IGT tests already compensate for the two extra frames (see link [1]), this behavior also happens on other drivers such as i915, and we still fail in those tests because we are skipping four frames without this patch. 1. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/-/blob/master/tests/kms_plane.c#L612

Thanks
Siqueira

This is because cursor update happens independent of the rest of plane programming and is tied to a separate lock. That lock part can't change due to potential for stuttering, but the first part could be fixed.

Nicholas Kazlauskas
