Okay, I've moved this into the tegra.h header file.

Indeed. pushbuf was also unused to I removed it as well.

They are currently freed by drm_tegra_job_free(), so yes, the current
intended usage is to create a new job for each submit. Do you mind if we
keep your proposal for a drm_tegra_job_reset() in mind for a follow-up
patch. It's an optimization that we can easily add later on and I'd like
to avoid too much premature optimization at this point.

It has the benefit of keeping this code working even when somebody
suddenly adds to the beginning of drm_tegra_pushbuf_private. I'd rather
not resolve to force casting just to be on the safe side.

This is currently used to keep track of existing pushbuffers and make
sure that they are freed (when the job is freed).

I guess we could make drm_tegra_pushbuf_new() reinitialize the current
pushbuf object and always return the same. But perhaps there are
occasions where it's useful to keep a few of them around?

If reusing the pushbuf objects makes sense, then perhaps a different API
would be more useful. Rather than allocate in the context of a job, they
could be allocated in a channel-wide context and added to/associated
with a job only as needed.

Interesting. Have you ever tested whether that works properly that way?
I've never seen that in a command stream from the binary driver.

I've added a call to drm_tegra_pushbuf_prepare() here and in
drm_tegra_pushbuf_relocate() which also pushes one word to the pushbuf.

Sounds good. If you have no strong objections, I'd like to keep that for
a follow on patch when there's more code that actively uses this API. It
should be fairly safe to make more members public via drm_tegra_pushbuf
rather than the other way around, so I'd like to err on the side of
carefulness for a bit longer.

Thanks for the review, and apologies for being sluggish.
