(Just make it conditional; a pid per request was one of the low hanging expenses. In general, I'd rather not use pid here as ctx is our encapsulation, but meh, it's a tid vs pid debate.

Certainly not with a struct_mutex! ;) I can see a parallel to sysinfo for GETPARAM and getrusage for context. We probably want to plan for more than just accumulated gputime though. (An extensible struct?) So yes, if you have something that wants to monitor themselves, we will just have to bite the bullet. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
