The watermark algorithm sometimes produces results where higher watermark levels have smaller blocks/lines watermarks than the lower levels. That doesn't really make sense as the corresponding latencies are supposed to be non-decreasing. It's unclear how the hardware responds to such watermark values, so it seems better to avoid that case and just make sure the values are always non-decreasing. Here's an example how things change for such a case on a GLK NUC: [PLANE:70:cursor A] level wm0, wm1, wm2, wm3, wm4, wm5, wm6, wm7, twm, swm, stwm -> *wm0,*wm1,*wm2,*wm3,*wm4,*wm5,*wm6,*wm7,*twm, swm, stwm [PLANE:70:cursor A] lines 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 -> 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0 [PLANE:70:cursor A] blocks 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 -> 11, 11, 12, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 25, 0, 0 [PLANE:70:cursor A] min_ddb 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 -> 12, 12, 13, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 26, 0, 0 -> [PLANE:70:cursor A] level wm0, wm1, wm2, wm3, wm4, wm5, wm6, wm7, twm, swm, stwm -> *wm0,*wm1,*wm2,*wm3,*wm4,*wm5,*wm6,*wm7,*twm, swm, stwm [PLANE:70:cursor A] lines 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 -> 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0 [PLANE:70:cursor A] blocks 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 -> 11, 11, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 25, 0, 0 [PLANE:70:cursor A] min_ddb 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 -> 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 26, 0, 0 Whether this actually helps on any display blinking issues is unclear.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
