Sure, we've put arbitrary finite limits on vblank counters in other places, so adding some kind of arbitrary limit like a couple of seconds would be entirely reasonable here. The Vulkan API doesn't need any of this complexity at all; the one I'm doing only lets you create a fence for the next vblank. > Ok, that's not expected...

I thought the opposite -- lightweight objects that you'd use once and delete. I can certainly change the API to pass in an existing syncobj rather than creating a new one. That would be easier in some ways as it reduces the failure paths a bit. > Is the event the important part or the moderately accurate timestamp? I need the timestamp and sequence number, getting them in an event would mean not having to make another syscall. > We could probably modify drm_syncobj to have a "last signaled" > timestamp that's queryable through an IOCTL. That's exactly what I did, but it only works for these new syncobjs. The fields are global and could be filled in by other bits of the code. > Is the sequence number returned necessary?

The application doesn't actually need either of these values directly, but the system needs them to respond to requests to queue presentation at a specific time, so the vulkan driver wants 'recent' vblank time/sequence data to estimate when a vblank will occur. -- -keith
