pin_global really started off life as a means to keep the shrinker at bay. It then grew as a marker for display objects in GEM, but really we can use obj->frontbuffer now for that role. And we already use obj->frontbuffer to delay shrinking of those objects. Hmm. That might work. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
