I object to it on various grounds. While the above is correct it really is a mid to long-term fix. But even in the short term your patch just maintains a random list of idefs in a random driver, pokes into the dma-mapping internals and lacks any comments in the code explaining on what is going on, leading to futher cargo culting. So it very clearly is not acceptable. _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
