Hi,
I believe this change would be safe for Weston while Weston would not
take advantage of the optimisation without patching it. The idea seems
fine to me, and patching Weston to take advantage of this would be fine
too.
I can't say anything about the kernel internal details on how to
implement this, and I don't recall if the per-connector epoch counter
was supposed to the exposed to userspace, offering a different way to
do the same.
Thanks,
pq
