Q. do we need the same lock for ct_read() and ct_write()? Could ct_read() use a lock-free ringbuffer, and then if I've read it right, you wouldn't have any overlapping spinlock between the interrupt handler and the rest (thus avoiding the interrupt-off). -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
