** Description changed: - Rather than calling drm directly, gpu-manager should simply check the - outputs connector status by using the sysfs filesystem (e.g. - /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status, etc.), thus relying on data that - is already available. + SRU request: + + [Impact] + The current drm code to probe the connected outputs is too resource intensive, and slow down the boot process. + + [Test Case] + 1) Boot Ubuntu and run the following command, looking for gpu-manager: + systemd-analize blame + + This will show how long gpu-manager took. Write down the number + + 2) Install the package from -proposed, and run systemd-analize blame. + See if the number has become smaller. + + [Regression Potential] + Low, all the changes are already included in Yakkety. + + + _____________________ + Rather than calling drm directly, gpu-manager should simply check the outputs connector status by using the sysfs filesystem (e.g. /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status, etc.), thus relying on data that is already available. This should make gpu-manager a bit less resource intensive, especially on boot. The attached perf shows the problem in gpu-manager.
