We have seen in the past that such LOCAL's linger on in the code for months and years till someone decides to clean them so the question is can we prevent these LOCAL's from getting introduced in the first place. One reason for these is that we sync IGT headers with drm-next whereas IGT is used to test drm-tip. So the delta between the two results in such LOCAL's as in this case. My proposal is that even if we don't start sync'ing IGT headers with drm-tip (instead of drm-next) we allow direct modification of the headers when needed to avoid introducing such LOCAL's. So in the above case we would add: #define I915_MMAP_OFFSET_FIXED 4 to i915_drm.h as part of this patch and then just use I915_MMAP_OFFSET_FIXED. If another sync happens from drm-next before this #define has appeared there, the compile will break and whoever syncs will need to add this again to i915_drm.h. What do people think about a scheme such as this? The other, perhaps better, option of course is to sync the headers directly with drm-tip (whenever and as often as needed). But the goal in both cases is to avoid LOCAL's, or other things like #ifndef's distributed throughout multiple source files which we also do in such cases. A centralized internal header to contain such declarations might not be so bad.
