[PATCH 1/9] drm: Create a driver hook for allocating GEM object structs.

Eric Anholt eric at anholt.net
Tue Dec 1 12:35:50 PST 2015


The CMA helpers had no way for a driver to extend the struct with its
own fields.  Since the CMA helpers are mostly "Allocate a
drm_gem_cma_object, then fill in a few fields", it's hard to write as
pure helpers without passing in a driver callback for the allocate
step.
