This will make it even harder to eventually add a real fence_context structure for tracking and debugging. I know you don't care for amdgpu since you have amdgpu-specific debug files, and there's some lifetime fun that makes it not immediately obvious how to resolve it. But on "lots of shitty little drivers" systems aka SoCs generic debugging information is crucial I think. Not liking too much where this is going. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
