Should be workable too, with udmabuf in the guest. Allocate with memfd, turn into dmabuf using udmabuf, let the virtio-gpu guest driver import the thing so you have a virtio-gpu resource handle for it. I don't see why this is better than using virtio-gpu dumb buffers directly though. cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
