Atomic display update support has finally landed in the upstream DRM graphics kernel subsystem and a bunch of drivers are converted or in the process of being converted. This talk will look at the internals from a driver's writer point of view, covering the atomic helper library, how it all can be (ab)used for certain cases and how to implement certain common hardware features. It will also look a bit at the overall ecosystem like upstream atomic support in Android, CrOS and wayland - and why upstream atomic is really the new display API to rule them all, plus take a look at what's still being worked on for the near future.
