- <para>
- Page flipping is a synchronization mechanism that replaces the frame
- buffer being scanned out by the CRTC with a new frame buffer during
- vertical blanking, avoiding tearing. When an application requests a page
- flip the DRM core verifies that the new frame buffer is large enough to
- be scanned out by the CRTC in the currently configured mode and then
- calls the CRTC <methodname>page_flip</methodname> operation with a
- pointer to the new frame buffer.
- </para>
- <para>
- The <methodname>page_flip</methodname> operation schedules a page flip.
- Once any pending rendering targeting the new frame buffer has
- completed, the CRTC will be reprogrammed to display that frame buffer
- after the next vertical refresh. The operation must return immediately
- without waiting for rendering or page flip to complete and must block
- any new rendering to the frame buffer until the page flip completes.
- </para>
- <para>
- If a page flip can be successfully scheduled the driver must set the
- <code>drm_crtc->fb</code> field to the new framebuffer pointed to
- by <code>fb</code>. This is important so that the reference counting
- on framebuffers stays balanced.

- To synchronize page flip to vertical blanking the driver will likely
- need to enable vertical blanking interrupts. It should call

- <function>drm_vblank_put</function> after the page flip completes.

+ * Page flipping is a synchronization mechanism that replaces the frame
+ * buffer being scanned out by the CRTC with a new frame buffer during
+ * vertical blanking, avoiding tearing (except when requested otherwise
+ * through the DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC flag). When an application
+ * requests a page flip the DRM core verifies that the new frame buffer
+ * is large enough to be scanned out by the CRTC in the currently

+ * pointer to the new frame buffer.
+ *
+ * The driver must wait for any pending rendering to the new framebuffer
+ * to complete before executing the flip. It should also wait for any
+ * pending rendering from other drivers if the underlying buffer is a
+ * shared dma-buf.
+ *
+ * An application can request to be notified when the page flip has
+ * completed. The drm core will supply a struct &drm_event in the event
+ * parameter in this case. This can be handled by the
+ * drm_crtc_send_vblank_event() function, which the driver should call on
+ * the provided event upon completion of the flip. Note that if
+ * the driver supports vblank signalling and timestamping the vblank
+ * counters and timestamps must agree with the ones returned from page
+ * flip events. With the current vblank helper infrastructure this can
+ * be achieved by holding a vblank reference while the page flip is
+ * pending, acquired through drm_crtc_vblank_get() and released with
+ * drm_crtc_vblank_put(). Drivers are free to implement their own vblank
+ * counter and timestamp tracking though, e.g. if they have accurate
+ * timestamp registers in hardware.
+ *
+ * FIXME:
+ *
+ * Up to that point drivers need to manage events themselves and can use
+ * even->base.list freely for that. Specifically they need to ensure
+ * that they don't send out page flip (or vblank) events for which the
+ * corresponding drm file has been closed already. The drm core
+ * unfortunately does not (yet) take care of that. Therefore drivers
+ * currently must clean up and release pending events in their
+ * ->preclose driver function.
+ *
+ * This callback is optional.
+ *
+ * NOTE:
+ *
+ * Very early versions of the KMS ABI mandated that the driver must
+ * block (but not reject) any rendering to the old framebuffer until the
+ * flip operation has completed and the old framebuffer is no longer
+ * visible. This requirement has been lifted, and userspace is instead
+ * expected to request delivery of an event and wait with recycling old
+ * buffers until such has been received.
+ *
+ * RETURNS:

+ * 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. Note that if a
+ * ->page_flip() operation is already pending the callback should return
