Android can expose fences to userspace. It's possible to make the new fence mechanism expose the same fences to userspace by changing sync_fence_create to take a struct fence instead of a struct sync_pt. No other change is needed, because only the fence parts of struct sync_pt are used. But because the userspace fences are a separate problem and I haven't really looked at it yet I feel it should stay in staging, for now.
Ok, that's reasonable.
At first glance, this all looks "sane" to me, any objection from anyone if I merge this through my driver-core tree for 3.17?
Ack from my side fwiw.
Thanks, I'll queue it up later today.
btw should we add you as a (co)maintainer for driver/core/dma-buf since you seem to want to keep a closer tab on what the insane gfx folks are up to in there?
Sure, why not, what's one more maintainership...
Oh, does that mean you want me to be the one collecting the patches and forwarding them on to Linus? If so, that's fine, I can easily do that as well due to my infrastructure being set up for it.
If you're ok, I could continue to do the collecting / forwarding business - I guess Daniel meant more from the 'not miss patches that need review'!
Upto you!
thanks,
