Thanks for the context, Tomi. Indeed it looks like the discussion died, but Laurent still brought up the u/s requirement and the patch was effectively dead until Daniel or Dave weighed in. I'd expect at least some outreach before pushing the patch directly 2+ years later. Has anything changed since then? > I know this feature is used by customers, but I don't have access to > their applications. Unfortunately, and as you know, that is insufficient/irrelevant for introducing new UAPI. So the question is if the libkmsxx bindings constitute opensource userspace, it's really thin IMO.
