I plan to usurp the short name of struct fence for a core kernel struct, and so I need to rename the specialised fence/timeline for DMA operations to make room.
A consensus was reached in https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-July/113083.html that making clear this fence applies to DMA operations was a good thing. Since then the patch has grown a bit as usage increases (and we wanted to wait until after the sw_sync destage), so hopefully it remains a good thing! I've pushed the patch to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/commit/?h=dma-fence&id=a4a27d87e4fccefb9f9d55f9c73ccab8f2ade3cc as I suspect it might be too large for the list. Highlights of the change: struct fence -> struct dma_fence (and all fence*() to dma_fence*()) struct fence_array -> struct dma_fence_array 107 files changed, 1174 insertions(+), 1136 deletions(-) Mostly generated with the provided cocci spatch, but even with --include-headers it seemed to miss some headers, and I never quite worked out the substition commands for macros, so there is some grep and replace. -Chris
