Can we take one step back, please? The only reason why drivers implement both ->invalidate_range_start and ->invalidate_range_end and expect them to be called paired is to keep some form of counter of active invalidation "sections". So instead of doctoring around undo schemes the only sane answer is to take such a counter into the core VM code instead of having each driver struggle with it. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
