Why is the kernel complaining about it? Being pragmatic, so that I can tell one EINVAL apart from another. And it's only mostly harmless. Userspace is attempting to write to/read from a buffer it has marked as being no longer required, so some rendering is going amiss. And it does not rule out the possibility that at some point it will catch the error later and result in a SIGBUS being sent to the application (probably X). However since it is not a kernel error nor is it fatal, that and a lot of similar messages can be demoted to debug. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
