RE: [PATCH] fix typo for drmOpenByName

Thanks Daniel Kurtz and Emil Velikov for the reply.

In general, drm APIs are invoked by user mode drivers, but, I want to mimic the behavior of driver in my unit test to create buffer objects. After do some searching, I wrote the following code in my unit test (user mode simple application based on libdrm). It does work in my old system (cannot go back to it and so do not know the exact version), but it failed when porting the unit test based on latest libdrm code. I stepped into function drmOpenByName and thought it is a typo.

int fd = drmOpen("i915", NULL); drm_intel_bufmgr* bufmgr = drm_intel_bufmgr_gem_init(fd, 1024); drm_intel_bo * bo = drm_intel_bo_alloc(bufmgr,...);

After read the comment, looks like the above code is not used as expected. (I execute the utest together with X11 is running).

Back to my original purpose, what's the correct way for me to create bo? One possible way is to open("/dev/dri/renderDxxx"), but what should I do if the kernel version is too low to has this feature?

Thanks. Yejun

NAK. The original code is correct.

This code basically says: If no string was returned (id == NULL), or an empty string (*id == NULL), aka "", then return fd and free id if it was an empty string.
