The data is now in kernel space, copied in/out as appropriate according to the
This results in DRM_COPY_{TO,FROM}_USER going away, and error paths to deal
with those failures. This also means that XFree86 4.2.0 support for i810 DRM
is lost.
As a fallout, replace filp storage with file_priv storage for "unique
identifier of a client" all over the DRM. There is a 1:1 mapping, so this
should be a noop. This could be a minor performance improvement, as everything
on Linux dereferenced filp to get file_priv anyway, while only the mmap ioctls
went the other direction.
This was used to make all ioctl handlers return -errno on linux and errno on
*BSD. Instead, just return -errno in shared code, and flip sign on return from
shared code to *BSD code.
Add refcounting of user waiters to the DRM hardware lock, so that we can use the
DRM_LOCK_CONT flag more conservatively.
Also add a kernel waiter refcount that if nonzero transfers the lock for the kernel context,
when it is released. This is useful when waiting for idle and can be used
for very simple fence object driver implementations for the new memory manager.
It also resolves the AIGLX startup deadlock for the sis and the via drivers.
i810, i830 still require that the hardware lock is really taken so the deadlock remains
for those two. I'm not sure about ffb. Anyone familiar with that code?
