We already have crtc.fb, and you're adding fb.crtc. > and makes drm_framebuffer_cleanup function check if fb->crtc is > same as desired fb.

Looks like you're just setting the crtc.fb and fb.crtc pointers to exactly mirror each other in the page flip ioctl. That can't fix anything. First of all multiple crtcs can scan out from the same fb, so a single fb.crtc pointer is clearly not enough to represent the relationship between fbs and crtcs. Also you're not clearing the fb.crtc pointer anywhere, so now destroying any framebuffer that was once used for scanout, would disable some crtc. So it looks like you're making things worse, not better. Anyway I'll just nack the whole idea. What you need to do is track the pending page flips, and make sure the old buffer is not freed too early. Just grab a reference to the old gem object when issuing the page flip, and unref it when you're sure the flip has occured. Or you could use the new drm_framebuffer refcount, but personally I don't see much point in that when you already have the gem object refcount at your disposal. -- Ville Syrjälä Intel OTC _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
