[PATCH 33/34] drm/amd/display: Unify fast update classification paths

Tom Chung <[email protected]> Wed, 5 Aug 2026 14:36:45 +0800
Newsgroups org.freedesktop.lists.amd-gfx
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Rafal Ostrowski <[email protected]>

[Why]
The dc_fast_update intermediate struct created code duplication and
complexity with multiple classification paths (populate_fast_updates,
fast_nonaddr_updates_exist, full_update_required). This refactoring
simplifies the update classification system by consolidating to a
single path.

[How]
Remove entire dc_fast_update struct and associated helper functions:
- populate_fast_updates
- fast_nonaddr_updates_exist
- full_update_required

Refactor check_update_surfaces_for_stream as the
single classification path with explicit handling for func_shaper,
lut3d_func, cursor_csc_color_matrix_change, and
scaler_sharpener_update. Add reserved bitfields to
surface_update_flags and stream_update_flags unions for completeness
guards. Extract dc_check_address_only_update and
dc_check_update_surfaces_for_stream as public.
Add comprehensive test coverage with parameterized tests
for all FAST flags, update classification tests
for MED/FULL paths, and completeness guard tests.
