The whole set in its latest and greatest form has also been uploaded to the
drm-private git as 'topic/seqno-request'.
Ok, read through the entire pile and looks good from a high level I think.
Review summary is really just "please less BUG_ON and more commit
message". I think even the few funky things can probably just be explained
away with a good commit message.
A few of the BUG_ONs disappear again along the way and others are just converting existing BUG_ONs from seqnos to requests.

The minimal messaging was because the intention was to get something posted as soon as possible in order to be reviewed as soon as possible if only from a 'is this what you had in mind' point of view. I didn't realise you were going to be out of office for so long. There didn't seem much value in writing reams of description only to be told a day later that I've misunderstood your design spec and gone off in completely the wrong direction.


That aside I think even for RFC the commit message really should be there,
since that's what I need to be able to efficiently review patches. If the
series is littered with FIXME comments all over that's ok (that's what an
rfc is for really), but the justifications and tricky points should all be
there. So I highly recommend to self-review patch series (using the review
training slides) even for an rfc to make sure there's not too many bubbles
in the pipeline.

Presuming there's no dragon hidden in any of the open issues I'll sign up
someone else for the in-depth review.

Cheers, Daniel

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.
