A i915_gem_object_create_from_data() is a reasonable addition, and I suspect it will make the code a bit more succinct. Whilst your statement is true today, calling set_domain is then a no-op, and helps document how you use the object and so reduces the likelihood of us introducing bugs in the future. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
