Comment (by thomas):
"I will attempt one last time to get a correction done to the book."
sounds like you have tried that multible times? I cannot find anything
about that on the mailing list nor a ticket except this one. Anyway, maybe
i'm blind (and if so, sorry for that) ...
It also sounds like you have identified a set of patches which are
required to fix that issue. It would be helpful if you would supply
information about those (since there are a lot of others in cgit, too). We
could than try to combine that into a consolidated patch.
I had a quick look to those patches i assume you meant
{{{
2018-08-17 Remove drmmode_crtc_private_rec::present_vblank_* related
code Michel Dänzer 3 -48/+3
2018-08-17 Defer vblank event handling while waiting for a pending
flip Michel Dänzer 4 -8/+56
2018-08-17 Add radeon_drm_handle_event wrapper for drmHandleEvent
Michel Dänzer 4 -30/+96
2018-08-17 Add radeon_drm_wait_pending_flip function Michel
Dänzer 3 -17/+18
2018-08-17 Move DRM event queue related initialization to
radeon_drm_queue_init Michel Dänzer 5 -17/+19
2018-08-16 Use correct FB handle in radeon_do_pageflip Michel
Dänzer 1 -2/+2
}}}
and it turned out that these are not the only one required. The patches
assumes modifications happened previously, for example in July
{{{
2018-07-12 Refactor drmmode_output_set_tear_free helper Michel
Dänzer 1 -10/+18
}}}
Long text short, it's a bit of work to extract the required patches
without pulling in the whole history of changes since May, too. I#d also
assume that a new release of the driver will not last very long, looks
like they release every half a year or so.
