TTM_BO_SYNCCPU is used for sync_for_cpu/release_from_cpu, right?

Do you mean you will create a new IOCTL for user buffers? I originally
wondered how to wrap my special BO creation request (BO pages are from
a camera) into current TTM_BO_CREATE IOCTL following your proposal and
not using GEM objects. If it also needs a new IOCTL, there will be 3
IOCTLs for BO creation?
In general, for my BO_create_from_camera_pages IOCTL, except
size/placement(will be TT)/page_alignment, I need an extra private
date which indicates a ID of camera pages. I like a "uint64_t
priv_date" inserted into ttm_bo_create_req although it looks odd..
Just some thoughts
Thanks
Austin
p.s. :
struct ttm_bo_create_req {
uint64_t size;
uint32_t placement;
uint32_t page_alignment;
};
vs.
struct drm_bo_create_req {
uint64_t mask;
uint64_t size;
uint64_t buffer_start;
unsigned int hint;
unsigned int page_alignment;
};
