If you're going to block an app on drawing then you either need to reenable drawing on wakeup or you need to have an interface for alerting the app to the fact that drawing is about to block and it should get back to its event loop. The first is suboptimal, the second penalises well behaved apps. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
