I should clean the patches up some and push them to a public repository or to the mailing lists for review. There isn't actually much more than a bit of framework along with two IOCTLs that allow creating and looking up a Tegra-specific GEM. The related kernel patches aren't available anywhere since I didn't deem them ready yet. At that time I wasn't even sure if we'd need special allocations other than what the dumb BO infrastructure provides. They implement some parts of what you've implemented in this series as well, with some slight differences. Currently these still use the CMA-backed GEM objects but it should be easy to switch to something backed by the host1x infrastructure once that's in good shape. While I can't find the quote right now, I seem to remember that you said at some point that you were planning on adding some 2D acceleration bits to libdrm. I don't think that's the right place. That code should rather go into the DDX. libdrm should instead provide a thin layer on top of the DRM IOCTLs to manage buffers and submit command streams. I hope I can finish the cleanup of my libdrm patches over the weekend and push them out so this may become clearer. Maybe I can even get the corresponding kernel patches pushed out. Thierry
