Maybe I'm missing something... Once it is pinned for use, it is fine, it cannot be shrunk underneath us. The problem lies in the zombie reference as we may find ourselves without an active reference. The only way to be certain would be to return a strong ref. That just felt like more upheaval than it was worth (or rather I was hoping that the active-ref would be earlier). -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
