Hm maybe this indeed needs to be shuffled around a bit, since
currently it's indeed not not allowed to call
drm_crtc_send_vblank_event if:
- your driver has vblank support (i.e. dev->num_crtcs > 0)
- the vblank irq is off (i.e. no one called drm_crtc_vblank_get)
- from the vblank code's pov the pipe is still

Experiment done. The timestamp is fine, it is the timestamp of the
previous vblank update. But, this would fix it because the vblank
interrupt was never disabled.
The original issue was that the event got sent after vblank was
disabled and before it got re-enabled during the modeset, so nothing
had happened to update the timestamp and seq number.
What are you expecting to update the timestamp and seq number while the
interrupt is disabled after vblank_disable_fn?
Im struggling to see what this experiment was meant to test/prove.

This shouldn't fix your vblank timestamp troubles either. It might mean
that the timestamp is slightly too early (because you take it while
shutting down the crtc, not while re-enabling), but not by seconds.
Quick experiment: Disable vblank disabling with drm.vblankoffdelay = 0. If
that also fixes the timestamps, then I'm pretty sure you have a driver bug
somewhere and lie to the vblank core code about something.

Thank you for chiming in, I can confirm that just moving the
drm_crtc_vblank_off around does not change anything.
I'll drop this patch and wait for v3.

It would be great to have this in the commit message for context.

Which means this patch isn't "Fixes: a474478642d5" after all.
The offending code has been there since commit 5f2f911578fb ("drm/imx:
atomic phase 3 step 1: Use atomic configuration").

This is what had me confused as well. It doesn't really say, but it
seems to imply that drm_crtc_send_vblank_event must only be sent after
drm_crtc_vblank_off.
If this is not a hard requirement, maybe this could be mentioned here?

A quick explaination of where the dodgy timestamp came from:
1. driver starts up
2. fbcon comes along and restores fbdev, enabling vblank
3. vblank_disable_fn fires via timer disabling vblank, keeping vblank
seq number and time set at current value
(some time later)
4. weston starts and does a modeset
5. atomic commit disables crtc while it does the modeset
6. ipu_crtc_atomic_disable sends vblank with old seq number and time
It turns out the actual fix for the old vblank is the next change,
which stops it being sent at all during the crtc disable as it is is
still active, it would then go through drm_crtc_vblank_off, reseting
the timestamp, and get delivered during the vblank enable as part of
the atomic commit.
So, in theory, we could just have the following change to fix the
specific issue of a stale timestamp.
However, given the documentation for the event in
include/drm/drm_crtc.h:
* - The event is for a CRTC which is being disabled through
this
*atomic commit. In that case the event can be send out any
time
*after the hardware has stopped scanning out the current
*framebuffers. It should contain the timestamp and counter
for the
*last vblank before the display pipeline was shut off. The
simplest
*way to achieve that is calling
drm_crtc_send_vblank_event()
*somewhen after drm_crtc_vblank_off() has been called.
This still seems like a sensible change for when the crtc is being
disabled.

It looks like this is actually the fix needed to avoid the bogus
timestamp.

This part here looks fishy. The drm_vblank.c code is supposed to do
the right thing, no matter where or when you ask it to generate an
event. It definitely shouldn't generate a timestamp that's a few
seconds too early. Bunch of options:
- there's a bug in drm_vblank.c and it's mixing up something and
generating a totally bogus value.
- there's a lie in your imx vblank code, which trips the drm_vblank.c
counter interpolation and results in a totally bogus value.
drm_vblank.c assumes that if you do claim to have a hw counter and
generate timestamps, that those are perfectly accurate. It only falls
back to guestimating using the system timer if that's not present.
Either way, this very much smells like papering over a bug if this
change indeed fixes your wrong vblank timestamps.

Yeah looks correct (you only want to generate the event here when the
crtc stays off), if it gets re-enabled the event should only be
generated later on once that's all finished. But separate bugfix.

This is not mentioned though.
If the pending event is not sent here, I assume it will be picked up by
.atomic_flush and will then be sent after the first EOF interrupt after
the modeset is complete. Can you explain this in the commit message?
With that,

[PATCH] drm/imx: correct order of crtc disable
Notify drm core before sending pending events during crtc disable.
This fixes the first event after disable having an old stale timestamp
by having drm_crtc_vblank_off update the timestamp to now.
This was seen while debugging weston log message:
Warning: computed repaint delay is insane: -8212 msec
