Out of curiosity, why the pointer and not embedding? base is kinda
misleading for a pointer.
Yeah, Christian doesn't like signal_pt lifecycle same as fence, so
it's a pointer.
If you don't like 'base' name, I can change it.
Well I never said that you can't embed the fence array into the
signal_pt.
You just need to make sure that we don't affect the drm_syncobj
lilecycle as well, e.g. that we don't also need to keep that around.
I don't see a problem with that, as long as drm_syncobj keeps a
reference to the fence while it's on the timeline list. Which it
already does. And embedding would avoid that 2nd separate allocation,
aside from making base less confusing.
That's indeed my initial implementation for signal_pt/wait_pt with
fence based, but after long and many discussions, we get current
solution, as you see, the version is up to v8 :).
For here why the pointer and not embedding?
Two reasons:
1. their lifecycles are not same.
2. It is a fence array usage, which always needs separate allocation,
seems which is mandatory.
So it is a pointer.
But the name is historical from initial, and indeed be kinda
misleading for a pointer, I will change it to fence_array instead in
coming v9.
To avoid running into a v10 I've just pushed this version upstream :)
Thanks a lot.
The rest in the series looks good to me as well,
Can I get your RB on them first?
but I certainly want the radv/anv developers to take a look as well as
Daniel suggested.
Ping @Dave/Bas/Jason or other radv/anv developers, Could anyone of you
take a look the rest of series for u/k interface? So that we can move to
next step for libdrm patches?
Thanks,
David
Christian.
