I still have few questions: - since alignment management has been remove from ion-core, should it be also removed from ioctl structure ? - can you we ride off ion_handle (at least in userland) and only export a dma-buf descriptor ? In the future how can we add new heaps ? Some platforms have very specific memory allocation requirements (just have a look in the number of gem custom allocator in drm) Do you plan to add heap type/mask for each ?
