Hello,

When booting my Juno board with the HDLCD driver that I have converted to
atomic operations I'm getting the following warning:

The line that triggers the warning is:

674: WARN_ON(!connector->encoder->crtc);

As far as I can see the encoder->crtc value is being set to a non-NULL value only
in two places:
- in drm_atomic_helper_update_legacy_modeset_state() after WARN_ON()
encoder->crtc = connector->state->crtc;
- in drm_crtc_helper_set_config(drm_mode_set *set):
encoder->crtc = new_crtc;

Nothing in the call path from drm_atomic_commit() calls crtc_funcs->set_config() or
drm_crtc_helper_set_config() directly, so the question is if this WARN() is actually
valid.

Call path from drm_atomic_commit:

drm_atomic_helper_commit()
- drm_atomic_helper_prepare_planes()
- drm_atomic_helper_swap_state()
- drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_disables()
- disable_outputs()
- drm_atomic_helper_update_legacy_modeset_state()
- WARN_ON(!connector->encoder->crtc)

Liviu


Hi Liviu
I solved this problem by following change, you can check if your driver do the same things:
drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/dw_hdmi.c:
- hdmi->connector.encoder = encoder;
+// hdmi->connector.encoder = encoder;

drm_mode_connector_attach_encoder(&hdmi->connector, encoder);

I found some other drivers set connector.encoder before drm_mode_connector_attach_encoder, some are not.

drm_mode_connector_attach_encoder already describe the link of connector and encoder,
so I think "connector.encoder = encoder" is not needed, is that right?
I'll have a look, thanks for pointing this. However, my setup uses the tda998x driver for encoder, so I will
have to go look there rather than in my driver.

Best regards,
Liviu

Thanks.

Hi Liviu
drivers/gpu/drm/i2c/tda998x_drv.c do the same things:
priv->connector.encoder = &priv->encoder;
drm_mode_connector_attach_encoder(&priv->connector, &priv->encoder);

I believe must be same problem.

Thanks.
