[SNIP] Well partially. That RADV broke is unfortunate, but we have done so many customized userspace stuff both based on Mesa/DDX as well as closed source components that it is just highly likely that we would break something else as well.
As an engineer I like to work with tangibles. The highly likely part is probable, but as mentioned multiple times the series allows for a _dead_ trivial way to address any such problems.
Well to clarify my concern is that this won't be so trivial.
You implemented on workaround for one specific case and it is perfectly possible that for other cases we would have to completely revert the removal of DRM_AUTH.
I would encourage you to take a closer look at my patch and point out how parcicular cases cannot be handled.
Well the last time I looked it only blocked the first call to the IOCTL.
Hmm interesting, you're replied to my patch without even reading it :'-( Can you please give it a close look and reply inline?

From your experiense, do user-space developers care about doing (or generally do) the right thing?
No, not at all. Except for Marek and Michel they just take what works and even Marek is often short-cutting on this.
Interesting, guess I should have asked this question from the start.
Thanks Emil
