This is because omapdrm does _everything_ asynchrously, even plain modesets. Unfortunately that async modeset support is broken, so the latest omapdrm patches insert a synchronization point. So picking omap's mode_set logic as a reference because it also does fb refcounting is not a good idea - that code does something crazy and gets it wrong. And really, if you do modeset synchronously the drm core will take care of your refcounting needs. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
