Okay, in DRM we are requesting syncpoint on channels 'open' and syncpoint assignment happens on jobs submission. So firstly submitted job will assign syncpoint to the first channel and second job would re-assign syncpoint to a second channel while first job is still in-progress, how is it going to work? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
