You have to send a command to the virtualization host and take care of the host accessing that memory when processing the command, so you can't reuse the memory until the host signals it is fine to do so. But, yes, it should be possible to handle cursor_bo creation in prepare_fb without too much effort. take care, Gerd _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
