Out of curiosity I did take a (very) quick look and also tried to find the corresponding userspace parts. On a quick search I didn't find anything for libdrm or mesa, neither on mailing lists or already committed. Where are those pieces? -Daniel
The mesa code is ready and working but undergoing final tidying before upstreaming. The aim is of course to release it well before linux 4.3 is out. However our kernel interface has just undergone very minor change
In my opinion userspace must be ready for merging (and public) before the kernel code can go in. That's at least what I enforce for i915 and how all other drivers are handled. -Daniel
OK. I was under the impression that this was only enforced on big user-space interface changes, new drivers or if there was a suspicion that the user-space part would never be open-sourced. Let's see what we can do to speed this up.
Thanks, Thomas
