First off, I definitely agree we need a way to tell userspace exactly what has happened. I wanted to start a discussion about that in i-g-t patch "Unrelated hotplug uevent masking out actual test result" but it didn't get much traction. For testing purposes, it is unacceptable that userspace only gets notified that "something happened". Still, as far as I know, userspace is expected to ask for a full reprobe when something has changed, and that is apparently part of the DRM spec, so we can't expect that it could query for an update on "only the things that changed". However, one way to mitigate this is to make sure that the driver knows what changed and only updates these things when a full reprobe is requested. Is this the approach that you have in mind? The methodology behind my series follows what is currently done: detect change in whatever way necessary, inform userspace and let it trigger full reprobe. If I'm understanding correctly, what you're suggesting is instead to reprobe what is needed on the kernel side when an associated change occurs instead of having userspace trigger it, and then let userspace aware that something changed and return the "cached" updated status when userspace asks for the subsequent reprobe. Is that correct?
