This matches what I thought should be done (I didn't think of using rwsem just a mutex, nice touch). The point I got stuck on was what should be done after the reset? I expected another modeset to return the state back or otherwise the inflight would get confused? > During reset we should be recommiting the state that was committed last. > But for now we'll settle for recommiting the last state for each object. Ah, I guess that explains the above. What is the complication with restoring the current state as opposed to the next state? But I have to leave debating the merits of atomic internals to others. :| -Chris _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
