From: Rob Clark robdclark@chromium.org
The initial purpose is for igt tests, but this would also be useful for compositors that wait until close to vblank deadline to make decisions about which frame to show.
The igt tests can be found at:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/robclark/igt-gpu-tools/-/commits/fence-deadli...
v2: Clarify the timebase, add link to igt tests v3: Use u64 value in ns to express deadline. v4: More doc
