Afaik it's how Android works, lots more fd passing than we do (that's also why Android has sync_file, i.e. pass a sync fd around every frame, whereas we have drm_syncobj, i.e. pass the sync container object fd once around at startup and be done). I more meant that now I'm leaning more towards "we really need a unified *pu buffer reporting scheme" before signing up to something that only works for very limited use cases. The other thing that popped up is that between this patch, the virtio tracepoint there's now a 3rd patch from google Android to account xpu buffer memory in some cases (but only some, only partially). So really this gap-fillers here don't work, and we need something that really looks at the entire problem and figures out how to account that memory. Which is probably cgroups, but we'll see. I asked John to set up some meeting at least with the Android side so we can start to figure this out for real. -Daniel > > Regards, > Christian. > > > > > Regards, > > Hridya > > > >> So I'm leaning more towards "this sounds like it's going to be useful for > >> Android only, nothing else" concern. > >> -Daniel > >> > -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
