TODO

-CRC API Improvements
---------------------
-
-- Optimize CRC computation ``compute_crc()`` and plane blending ``blend()``
-
-- Use the alpha value to blend vaddr_src with vaddr_dst instead of
- overwriting it in ``blend()``.
-
-- Add igt test to check cleared alpha value for XRGB plane format.
-
-- Add igt test to check extreme alpha values i.e. fully opaque and fully
- transparent (intermediate values are affected by hw-specific rounding modes).

+IGT better support

-- Change output configuration: Plug/unplug screens, change EDID, allow changing

+- Investigate: (1) test cases on kms_plane that are failing due to timeout on
+ capturing CRC; (2) when running kms_flip test cases in sequence, some
+ successful individual test cases are failing randomly.
-The currently proposed solution is to expose vkms configuration through
-configfs. All existing module options should be supported through configfs too.
+- VKMS already has support for vblanks simulated via hrtimers, which can be
+ tested with kms_flip test; in some way, we can say that VKMS already mimics
+ the real hardware vblank. However, we also have virtual hardware that does
+ not support vblank interrupt and completes page_flip events right away; in
+ this case, compositor developers may end up creating a busy loop on virtual
+ hardware. It would be useful to support Virtual Hardware behavior in VKMS
+ because this can help compositor developers to test their features in
+ multiple scenarios.

Writeback support
-----------------
-Currently vkms only computes a CRC for each frame. Once we have additional plane
-features, we could write back the entire composited frame, and expose it as:
+- The writeback and CRC capture operations share the use of composer_enabled
+ boolean to ensure vblanks. Probably, when these operations work together,
+ composer_enabled needs to refcounting the composer state to proper work.
-- Writeback connector. This is useful for testing compositors if you don't have
- hardware with writeback support.
+- Add support for cloned writeback outputs and related test cases using a
+ cloned output in the IGT kms_writeback.
- As a v4l device. This is useful for debugging compositors on special vkms
configurations, so that developers see what's really going on.
-Prime Buffer Sharing
---------------------
-
-We already have vgem, which is a gem driver for testing rendering, similar to
-how vkms is for testing the modeset side. Adding buffer sharing support to vkms
-allows us to test them together, to test synchronization and lots of other
-features. Also, this allows compositors to test whether they work correctly on
-SoC chips, where the display and rendering is very often split between 2
-drivers.
