Any other "hypothetical" > userspace should just carry it's own copy of the kernel header, IMHO. jfyi, if it wasn't clear, the "flags" field has the "pipe" in the low bits (since an ABI break is never ok), and new flags in the high bits: /* The pipe-id just uses the lower bits, so can be OR'd with flags in * the upper 16 bits (which could be extended further, if needed, maybe * we extend/overload the pipe-id some day to deal with multiple rings, * but even then I don't think we need the full lower 16 bits). */ #define MSM_PIPE_ID_MASK 0xffff #define MSM_PIPE_ID(x) ((x) & MSM_PIPE_ID_MASK) #define MSM_PIPE_FLAGS(x) ((x) & ~MSM_PIPE_ID_MASK) Because the new flags are allocated from bit 31 downward, and previously the only valid pipe value was "3D0" (0x10), this keeps compatibility with old userspace on new kernel. And new userspace on old kernel would fail properly with -EINVAL (since pipe!=0x10 was never valid before). (Maybe we'll reduce PIPE_ID_MASK later if we need more room for flags.. I kept it large to start since I'm undecided if we want to use pipe-id eventually for multi-context support, vs just tying the gpu context to the drm_file) BR, -R >>> drm/msm: submit support for in-fences >>> drm/msm: move fence allocation out of msm_gpu_submit() >>> drm/msm: submit support for out-fences >>> drm/msm: bump kernel api version for explicit fencing >> >> You misspelled ioctl in the comment. :) > > oh, whoops.. well if dave hasn't merged my pull req yet I can fixup > the typo and resend the pr.
