[PATCH 2/2] dma-buf: Relax the write-seqlock for reallocating the shared fence list

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As the set of shared fences is not being changed during reallocation of
the reservation list, we can skip updating the write_seqlock.
