[Dri-devel] Simplified DRM backwards compatibility scheme

2001-10-13 Thread Keith Whitwell
Jeff, Others, I've been reviewing the work in the 3.5 branch for backwards compatibility and to me it looks like we can do it with a lot less effort. Here's what I'm proposing, in one simple sentence: Instigate a rule where any released ioctl will always be supported, with the same

Actually 2.5 will see a lot of devices moving away from IOCTLs (even legacy ones) as Linux gains namespace support. From the Linus threads I've read, even older IOCTLs will be shot down. The unmaintainability and randomness of IOCTL numbering schemes is one of the things that brought this

Well, it is late Saturday here. I know everyone is busy, but can at least someone confirm that they know the answer but just don't have time for it ? I'd hate to lose a weekend waiting for something that's not going to come.. Vladimir Dergachev --

well back to our cows... I get frames from bt848 at 25 fps - F_CIF (710x576 YUV420 i.e. 12 bits) -0% cpu usage if I just discard them. since I get them in mmap'ed driver area and not shared memory, I use single memcpy to copy them to one previously allocated shared memory - 25% CPU time. Now
