Doesn't sound like much better API than AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CLEARED to me. Why would any process be okay with leaking its BO contents to other processes? Could that flag even prevent it in all cases, e.g. when BOs are evicted or otherwise migrated? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer
