How is screen capture implemented ? Do you enumerate the framebuffers being
scanned out, dump their contents and compose them manually based on the active
plane configuration ? If so, isn't this very race-prone ?

Creating the handle seems to be fairly consistent, except for a very small
number of special cases. If we stored the GEM object pointers in the
drm_framebuffer structure, the common case would be simplified. Or maybe I've
missed something :-)

The best is to base your patch on top of the drm-misc-next branch of the drm-
misc tree. Whoever is merged first will win the ioctl number :-) Of course it
means rebasing if someone else wins the race, but that shouldn't be a big
deal.
