Also cc Sean, who reviewed the msm patch to double down on the not-so-awesome async solution (I think at least, I'm still not entirely sure what's all going on there): commit 2d99ced787e3d0f251fa370d2aae83cf2085a8d9 Author: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org> Date: Thu Aug 29 09:45:16 2019 -0700 drm/msm: async commit support On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 4:39 PM Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> wrote: > > It's the horror and shouldn't be used.

If it's supposed to go away, you could add an item to the TODO list. Best regards Thomas > bool async_update : 1; > /** >

If it's > supposed to go away, you could add an item to the TODO list. "Hint to enforce legacy cursor IOCTL semantics." is the purpose of this thing. It was used way back as pretty shoddy approach to handling cursor updates, but is slowly dying. Good point on adding a todo item for this, I'll respin with that added. -Daniel
