Adding Ram and link to the (warning, huge!) thread: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/303905/?series=57232&rev=9 > However, please let me know, what do you think we should do for > userspace. That seems backwards, since this is an uapi change I'd expect you're solving some specific issue in some specific userspace? If we're doing this just because I'm not really following.
