Greg / Richard: Comments to the non-staging patches:
patch 1/5] drm: Split out the mm declarations in a separate header. Add atomic operations: The range manager operations are usually quite fast, and the range manager really only needs to be protected by a spinlock. Add atomic operations and means to pre-allocate memory needed within the atomic sections, similar to the idr implementation. Also create a separate header file for the API so users don't need to include the full drmP.h header. [patch 2/5] drm: Add a tracker for global objects. Some DRM data shouldn't really be per device. This includes memory-accounting and perhaps also object handle lookup. A system with one or more gpus would ideally want to share handle space and memory accounting between the GPU drivers. Add a tracker for such global objects. These objects live as long any DRM driver reference them. [patch 3/5] drm: Export hash table functionality. Make the drm hash table implementation usable from within drm device drivers. [patch 4/5] drm: Add unlocked IOCTL functionality from the drm repo. Make the drm ioctl handle callable as an unlocked IOCTL. This is really only providing an alternative interface, since the calling sequence for the unlocked ioctl is somewhat different. Taken from the drm develpment repo. NOTE: This should not be used yet for core drm ioctls, as some are not thread-safe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
