Describe what a "BAD" link-status means for user-space and how it should handle it. The logic described has been implemented in igt [1]. v2: - Change wording to avoid "enabled" (Daniel) - Add paragraph about multiple connectors sharing the same CRTC (Pekka) - Add paragraph about performing an atomic commit on a connector without updating the link-status property (Daniel) v3: - Fix description of what happens when link-status isn't reset to "GOOD", and when link-status is reset without ALLOW_MODESET (Daniel, Ville) - Changing link-status to "BAD" is a no-op - Clearly state that "BAD" means black screen (Manasi) [1]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/-/commit/fbe61f529737191d0920521946a575bd55f00fbe Signed-off-by: Simon Ser <contact@emersion.fr> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Cc: Manasi Navare <manasi.d.navare@intel.com> Cc: Ville Syrjala <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Pekka Paalanen <ppaalanen@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Acked-by: Pekka Paalanen <ppaalanen@gmail.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/kFylMmeRMGJk-oi8f-Td8A7GNa1C-GsK23-vjKg77VhWfwpkLJg7QxFlQ_g9KdVxZiyWl9eJWpUGa5PYasR9YcyvIbuBmHVfKeHb4rH0yTM=@emersion.fr
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
