Yeah, we could do that, there's not many plane_update implementations left. But it wouldn't help for this case here, because acquire context is in drm_atomic_state, not in the individual per-object state structs. There's no reason this isn't the case except organically grown and no one bothered to improve it. I'll be happy to review such patches, but probably won't ever get around to typing them. -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
