Hans de Goede 2fab6e7542 staging: vboxvideo: Temporarily remove page_flip support
drm_mode_page_flip_ioctl() cannot deal with the in between phase of
the transitioning to atomic modeset support. Once we start using
drm_helper_crtc_mode_set(), we start setting plane->state on the primary
plane. But we are not fully atomic yet so then set both plane-state->fb
and plane->fb.

If both plane-state->fb and plane->fb are set drm_mode_page_flip_ioctl()
gets confused and stops calling drm_framebuffer_get() on the new fb while
still calling drm_framebuffer_put() on the old fb.

The current page_flip implementation expects drm_mode_page_flip_ioctl()
to take care of both and once we switch to drm_atomic_helper_page_flip()
that will expect neither to be done, taking care of both itself.

So for the transition we need to remove page_flip support and then after
the transition is complete and we set DRIVER_ATOMIC in our driver_features,
we can start using drm_atomic_helper_page_flip().

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
