I think we can do this cheaper: - Grab a ref everywhere we want to disallow pc8+ currently (by hooking into the same get/put calls Paulo's patches sprinkled all over). That should cover 100% of all the runtime stuff - Paulo's pc8+ test is rather extensive. That leaves us with the debugfs/sysfs crap doing register access. Cheap and dirty (and likely to make Chris rage) is to add get/put calls with a suitable timeout to the register i/o functions. Less cheap (but I'm unsure whether that's better) would be to sprinkle get/put calls around all relevant sysfs/debugfs files. Pure s/w stuff like the error state wouldn't need it though (and we should try hard not to require it in case runtime pm hangs). -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
