I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment! > I'd like to propose that we figure out what remaining non-bug changes > we'd like to get merged in the next week (or two?), I'd like https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/108076/ to be at least considered. It allows eliminating tearing with PRIME slave outputs in a way which is both simpler and more efficient (at least WRT inter-GPU bandwidth) than the recently added *Flipping* hooks, and saving inter-GPU bandwidth also when allowing tearing. I can write a modesetting driver implementation of the SyncSharedPixmap hook, if that helps. My only other outstanding change is https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/70477/ , but I don't care too much about that anymore, because our drivers already do the equivalent thing if Xorg itself doesn't. :) We should also definitely figure out if https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/94495/ is still needed / the proper fix, but I guess that can wait until after this week. > then move into a non-critical bug fix period for two weeks followed by > three or four weeks of critical bug fixing and testing.

This looks quite aggressive, but no objections from me. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer
