You may even go as far as putting a local acquire context here, which would then have avoided the cross driver pollution. Anyway, if it works for the timeline, there is no reason to keep the other globals locked. They are pinned and on completely different usage cycles to the user objects. [They can't be evicted without interacting with the HW to ensure the context has been flushed, so far there has been no way to do so without stalling for a freshly submitted request, hence we let them retire gracefully and kick the kernel timelines to flush completed contexts.] -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
