If the series is applied atomically, then that issue will not happen. Doing so might cause trivial merge conflicts, for individual drivers. Nothing a simple build check won't highlight/catch. Although if the AMD team has pending work which will seriously clash with this, could delay the "remove _unlocked suffix" part of the series. -Emil _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
