From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi all, This is an attempt to improve fence support on Sync File. The basic idea is to have only sync_file->fence and store all fences there, either as normal fences or fence_arrays. That way we can remove some potential duplication when using fence_array with sync_file: the duplication of the array of fences and the duplication of fence_add_callback() for all fences. Now when creating a new sync_file during the merge process sync_file_set_fence() will set sync_file->fence based on the number of fences for that sync_file. If there is more than one fence a fence_array is created. One important advantage approach is that we only add one fence callback now, no matter how many fences there are in a sync_file - the individual callbacks are added by fence_array. This patchset also adds sync_file_get_fence() to retrieve fence from a sync_file file descriptor. Please review! Thanks! Gustavo --- Changes since PATCH v1 Comments from Chris Wilson) - use sizeof(*fence) to reallocate array - fix typo in comments - protect num_fences sum against overflows - use array->base instead of casting the to struct fence - remove ternary if from ops comparison in fence_is_array() - add EXPORT_SYMBOL(fence_array_ops) Changes since RFC v2 (Comments from Chris Wilson and Christian König): - struct sync_file lost status member in favor of fence_is_signaled() - drop use of fence_array_teardown() - use sizeof(*fence) to allocate only an array on fence pointers Changes since RFC v1 (Comments from Chris Wilson and Christian König): - Not using fence_ops anymore. - fence_is_array() was created to differentiate fence from fence_array - fence_array_teardown() is now exported and used under fence_is_array() - struct sync_file lost num_fences member Gustavo Padovan (4): dma-buf/fence-array: add fence_is_array() dma-buf/sync_file: rework fence storage in struct file dma-buf/sync_file: add sync_file_get_fence() Documentation: add doc for sync_file_get_fence() Documentation/sync_file.txt | 15 +++ drivers/dma-buf/fence-array.c | 1 + drivers/dma-buf/sync_file.c | 190 ++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- drivers/staging/android/sync_debug.c | 13 ++- include/linux/fence-array.h | 10 ++ include/linux/sync_file.h | 18 ++-- 6 files changed, 172 insertions(+), 75 deletions(-) -- 2.5.5 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
