From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@xxxxxxxxx> Work in progress for replacing seqno usage with requst structures. There is a general feeling that it is better to move away from using a simple integer 'seqno' value to track batch buffer completion. Instead, the request structure should be used. That provides for much more flexibility going forwards. Especially which things like a GPU scheduler (which can re-order batch buffers and hence seqnos after submission to the hardware), Android sync points and other such features which potentially make seqno usage more and more complex. The current set of patches do most of the seqno to request structure conversion. There are still a couple of direct seqno comparisons in the semaphore code. The final conversion of a seqno test into a 'completed' flag inside the request structure is still do to as well. Along with whatever changes are required to maintain such a flag. The patches are being posted now to make sure that the various people involved agree that it is heading in the right direction.
