You should resend to dri-devel since this task barrier is being added
to common code.
Additional to that this whole thing has the potential to raise lockdep
warnings and if I'm not completely mistaken doesn't even work correctly.
Can you give me a potential lockdep scenario ?

Lockdep usually complains if a lock is released from another thread than where it was locked from.

In the code you let each thread do a down() and then the last one does multiple up() calls.

But I think that is only illegal for mutexes, but legal for semaphores.

Christian.


Yes, from what I've read for semaphores it's ok to release (up) from a thread which didn't acquire (down)

Andrey

See Linux kernel semaphores don't allow negative values (the count
field in struct semaphore is unsigned).
Ok, forget what I've wrote. That indeed seems to be supported, some
other drivers are already using semaphores the same way.

Christian.
