Ok thanks. To add weight to it becoming official in some form, we're using it for various deferred operations: drm/i915: Make plane switching asynchronous drm/i915: Asynchronously unpin the old framebuffer after the next vblank They aren't my patches but I believe they should be upstreamed in the near future. The claim is that these give a noticeable performance boost. I'll leave it in and hope it becomes official. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Vetter [mailto:daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Daniel > Vetter > Sent: Friday, December 06, 2013 12:07 PM > To: Bloomfield, Jon > Cc: Chris Wilson; intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm/i915: Introduce vblank work function > > On Fri, Dec 06, 2013 at 10:44:15AM +0000, Bloomfield, Jon wrote: > > What's the status of this patch ?
