[PATCH 2/2] drm/nouveau: Reduce global locking around filp release

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

 



For largely legacy reasons, a global mutex (drm_global_mutex) is taken
around open/close of the drm_device, including serialising the filp
release. For drivers with their own fine grained locking, such global
coordination is a hindrance, albeit off the common hot paths.
