Is that correct? I haven't followed the entire thread on this matter, but I guess the idea is that somehow the kernel would pass to userspace a CRTC mask of affected_crtc (somehow, we don't know how atm) and with it, userspace can then issue a new commit (this commit blocking) with those? > + } > + > return 0; > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL(drm_atomic_check_only); > -- > 2.28.0 > > _______________________________________________ > dri-devel mailing list > dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
