Here, the seqno is being used as a guide to avoid trying to take the lock if it's been externally modified, but it would equally work with just a plain trylock + test_rcu. Better yet would be autopruning, but that suggests a slightly different data structure an rbtree instead of an array and spinlocked cb_list manipulation instead of a plain refcount. -Chris _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
