[PATCH 04/36] drm/doc: drop struct_mutex references

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

 



From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There's little point in providing partial and ancient information about
the struct_mutex. Some drivers are using it, new ones should not.

As-it this only provides for confusion.

 All GEM objects are reference-counted by the GEM core. References can be

 When the last reference to a GEM object is released the GEM core calls
