Yea, I guess we can just map and unmap it right there. It will look a little absurd, but that sort of aligns with your next point. > Also, this problem (and solution) keeps lingering around.

Hrm. I guess to address your concern we would need split dma_heap_add() into something like: dma_heap_create() dma_heap_add() Which breaks the creation of the heap with the registering it to the subsystem, so some attributes can be tweaked inbetween? I'll see about taking a stab at this, but I'll probably submit my updated series sooner with this un-addressed so I can get some further review. thanks -john _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
