From 5e59f7175f96550ede91f58d267d2b551cb6fbba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Widawsky Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 10:41:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Try harder to get FBC The GEN FBC unit provides the ability to set a low pass on frames it attempts to compress. If a frame is less than a certain amount compressibility (2:1, 4:1) it will not bother. This allows the driver to reduce the size it requests out of stolen memory. Unluckily, a few months ago, Ville actually began using this feature for framebuffers that are 16bpp (not sure why not 8bpp). In those cases, we are already using this mechanism for a different purpose, and so we can only achieve one further level of compression (2:1 -> 4:1) FBC GEN1, ie. pre-G45 is ignored. The cleverness of the patch is Art's. The bugs are mine. v2: Update message and including missing threshold case 3 (Spotted by Arthur).
