I'm tired, but off the top of my head, I think you can do away with the magic extension to create_ioctl. If we allow any one to fallocate() ranges of any object, the user can create a large object, populate it all with a scratch page, then later populate regions as required. This looks quite a reasonable and useful feature. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
