Hm, if the entire concern here is all the bazillion different versions of blobs shipped in the past few years, why can't we just have a revert of this in the amdgpu DKMS? Not like one more patch among the hundres will matter. I'd suspect that the overlap of people wanting to run the blobs and people who don't run the DKMS or similar is roughly 0. Always been the case here at Intel at least. If there's other stuff that we need to audit (like rocm or whatever), then we should look into those ofc. -Daniel > > Example B: the team, as a whole thinks that this will be problematic for > customer X - add FORCE_AUTH to all ioctls and carry on. > > I do see and understand why anyone can be hesitant about the series. > > IMHO the above examples, illustrate quite reasonable compromise between > open-source and closed-source/private solutions. > > Don't you agree? > > > >> For the record: I strongly think that we don't want to expose any render > > >> functionality on the primary node. > > >> > > >> To even go a step further I would say that at least on AMD hardware we > > >> should completely disable DRI2 for one of the next generations. > > >> > > > It's doable and overall pretty neat idea. > > > > > > There is a consern that this approach may cause far more regressions > > > that this series.
