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, so the mesa code has now been published here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~thomash/mesa/log/?h=svga-gl3-merge
While it's in principle ready for merging, it lacks some final reviewing and testing but otherwise should work fine.
I cannot see the series ever making it to the (mesa-dev) mailing list. Did it got stuck due to its size or you forgot to send it over ? Mildly related - the mesa 11.0 branchpoint is just a few hours away, so it seems that this work will miss it :(
The reason is basically because I want to get a final internal review and go-ahead.
Ack. What are the chances of gradually adding (stubbing) and using the functionality rather than the current "add file X, but don't build and/or use it" approach ?
Unfortunately I wasn't aware that the mesa 11.0 branchpoint was immediately upcoming.
It was mentioned on the mailing list (search for "release schedule") with a few reminders, plus a note in the #dri-devel IRC channel topic.
If you can think of a way to make the process/timeline more obvious/well known, please let me know.
I guess there's not much we can do about it at this point? Even if I post the patches now we can't just expect them to be reviewed within a couple of hours...
Unfortunately it seems like it. Guess I should have checked earlier.
Cheers Emil
