Ok, I've quickly read through it all and commented on a few things. Imo the last patch should be massively simplified, at least for the first round. Other things look small. What's still missing are testcases, and I have two things in mind here: - Exercise the 2nd ring dispatch and sync a bit. Since the 2nd bsd ring is hidden within the kernel I think the right approach would be to open a few drm fds (10 or so) and then randomly use them with a dummy reloc. We have two testcases which can be used as blueprints that need adjustement: - gem_ring_sync_loop: Probably easiest to copy it to a new file as gem_multi_bsd_sync_loop. This test exercises semaphores. - gem_dummy_reloc_loop, subtest mixed: Almost the same as the above, but the sync is done _inside_ the loop and hence this exercises gpu/cpu sync. We need both tests adjusted, for for this we need a new multi-bsd test. - New testcase to fully test main execbuffer flags. This is simply something that's we don't yet have. The next guy to touch execbuf code needs to add it, and it looks like that's you ;-) I've done a JIRA task for the resource streamer work, but I think the resource streamer wont be merged anytime soon. So I'll reassign to you. Jira task is VIZ-3129.
