BTW, this got me thinking that we should probably treat
_DRM_VBLANK_NEXTONMISS the same way, i.e. clear the flag after updating
vblwait->request.sequence. Otherwise there could theoretically (though
unlikely) be an infinite loop:
ioctl with _DRM_VBLANK_NEXTONMISS, target missed => wait for next vblank
wait interrupted by signal
lather, rinse, repeat
I'd advise against adding a "next on miss" flag for the new ioctl until
there is specific demand for that.
