Multiple fences from the same context isn't an issue for either of us as we both reduce down to the last fence on each context, and in the case of iteratively waiting on each fence in the reservation_object it is not noticeable. The trade-off is in choosing to scan the entire array. > 2. When the we copied the fences over into the new container we > previously removed all signaled one.

We prove that before we copy to a new array, there are no currently signaled fences left. Ime, when processing the fences you generally have to discard the signaled fences anyway, so the benefit for add_shared_fence is in pruning any signaled fences to prevent realloc; and I prefer the more gradual approach for the trade-off in reducing the work on adding the fence. The alternative is that we basically run the replace algorithm and decide to the final op inplace (and not consume obj->staged) if we only need to replace/add one fence. -Chris _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
