Periodic AS SDP (skip frames) drives a Panel Replay panel down toward its minimum refresh rate. It is a new, panel- and platform-sensitive behaviour, so keep it opt-in rather than enabling it unconditionally.
Expose it as a per-device debugfs knob, enable_periodic_assdp, rather than a module parameter. The behaviour is panel-specific, so the correct granularity is per-device, not per-module. The knob is added through the intel_display_params infrastructure (shared by i915 and xe) with a debugfs entry only. It defaults to false (feature disabled); write 1 to the debugfs file to enable periodic AS SDP at runtime. Gate the feature at its single choke point, intel_pr_as_sdp_skip_frames(): returning a zero skip count when the knob is off makes both the PR_ALPM_CTL programming (intel_alpm_configure_pr_as_sdp()) and the DC3co force-disable predicate (intel_alpm_pr_as_sdp_skip_frames_enabled()) a no-op, so AS SDP continues to be sent on every frame as before. v2: Switch to debugfs entry and drop module param Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 Signed-off-by: Uma Shankar <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Dibin Moolakadan Subrahmanian <[email protected]> Tested-by: Naladala Ramanaidu <[email protected]> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_alpm.c | 5 +++++ drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_display_params.h | 5 +++++ 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_alpm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_alpm.c index c784e77f610b..10943539bc7c 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_alpm.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_alpm.c @@ -392,11 +392,16 @@ static u32 get_pr_alpm_as_sdp_transmission_time(const struct intel_crtc_state *c */ static u32 intel_pr_as_sdp_skip_frames(struct intel_dp *intel_dp) { + struct intel_display *display = to_intel_display(intel_dp); const struct drm_display_info *info = &intel_dp->attached_connector->base.display_info; int max_vrefresh = info->monitor_range.max_vfreq; int min_vrefresh = info->monitor_range.min_vfreq; + /* Off by default; gated by the enable_periodic_assdp debugfs knob. */ + if (!display->params.enable_periodic_assdp) + return 0; + if (min_vrefresh <= 0 || max_vrefresh <= min_vrefresh) return 0; diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_display_params.h b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_display_params.h index b95ecf728daa..ba01aeaf8944 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_display_params.h +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_display_params.h @@ -50,6 +50,11 @@ struct drm_printer; param(bool, psr_safest_params, false, 0400) \ param(bool, enable_psr2_sel_fetch, true, 0400) \ param(int, enable_dmc_wl, -1, 0400) \ + /* + * Debugfs-only knob (per-device): no matching module_param is registered + * in intel_display_params.c on purpose.
