I've been pretty busy as well since the LPC. The memory pool RFC got delayed a bit (but I've been working on subdev and media-controller related tasks, so my work will hopefully be useful too :-)). Following your discussion I studied the GEM architecture and I'll contact the Intel developers to see if sharing buffers between the GPU and the V4L2 devices could be possible. I'm a bit scared this will be difficult, as GPU memory is accessed through the GART (a kind of IOMMU for GPUs) and we would have to deal with textures tiling and swizzling. > Note that even though I have more time in November, I really want to use > that time to continue work on the control framework, so whether I will have > much time to do anything else is doubtful as well.

We all have business and personal schedules to deal with. Nobody should expect you or any open-source developer to put life aside and commit 100% to open- source projects (unless funded by a company, but that's another story). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
